Managing Anxiety: Determined Slow Talk

Here we are working on the feelings that accompany our peaceful, quiet determination. Inside this relaxation and peace are the other positive emotions: confidence, security, strength, power, assertiveness.

We want to grow those positive emotions until they are blooming boldly and brightly. What we are doing is solidifying those feelings into your emotional brain.

This is how "Determined Slow Talk" works:

1. First, we take slow talk and move it down even slower so that we can literally FEEL the determination, the strength, and the seriousness.

2. Then we use the DETERMINATION FACTOR to synergize these positive, quiet, peaceful, confident feelings of strength and power. It is easier to feel the determination and strength when you are using determined slow talk. (Again, notice that it's the feeling we're going after here.)

3. Third, we use the handout and/or statements you are working on and use "Determined Slow Talk" to sink them down to that emotional area of your brain where things become foundational, set in stone, automatic, and natural.

Determined slow talk has the power to allow you to FEEL the confidence, the strength, and the power to allow you to FEEL the confidence, the strength, and the power of your new thoughts and behaviour.

Remember, it is important that the statements, strategies, and beliefs become FEELINGS and these FEELINGS are rooted in your determination, your peace, your inner resources.

When you start to feel these things (even if it is only briefly) instead of just saying them, move on over into "determined slow talk" - because you are ready for your new thoughts to become permanently rooted in your brain... and for you to FEEL the difference!
