A book thats helping me

[mirry]

Hi everyone , just wanted to tell you about a book that is helping me at the moment , its called .........

calming your anxious mind , by :Jeffrey Brantley,MD.

Its about how how mindfulness and compassion can free you from anxiety,fear and panic.
I am half way thru it and I believe its one of the best book Ive ever read on the subject because it shows us how to break the habit of unhelpful thinking.

your welcome :D , I have applied the tequniques today with good results, when I went down the town with hubby. Basically I went to have some accupuncture done , and whilst laying there with 20 needles in me :ohmy: on my own I started to panic :lac: , but obviously I couldnt move one inch so I was stuck and suddenly thought " OMG " what am i gonna do.
Then I remembered the book, and started telling myself not to judge the panic and fear and to welcome it with a smile, the thought of being trapped ...is not me, its not mine. its just fear.
Well I tell you , I went from 8/10 panic to 1/10.........I was so pleased :yesyes: that I mastered it .
Then I found everytime I thought about the needles in me, my fear level went up, so I started going thru my head naming all the presents Ive bought everyone for xmas. After that I was fine.

I am going for more accupuncture next week :flowers:
