Reduce anxiety

When you’re feeling anxious for no reason, you want to learn how to lower anxiety – fast!

After over 20 years of research for how to get rid of anxiety fast, I have discovered many brain-based techniques that are simple enough to teach a six-year-old.

During this time of year, with all the pressure on holiday gift-giving and get-togethers, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.

Here are some super simple brain-based ways to lower anxiety:

  • This is one of my favorite breath techniques – and it’s SO EASY!   

  • “What’s Right, Right Now?”

Asking that question interrupts the stress cycle and stimulates the parasympathetic (rest and relax) nervous                 system.  In the midst of looking at everything that seems to NOT be going right, STOP and ask yourself                           “What’s Right, Right Now?” For me, right now, what’s right is that my husband and I are healthy. We have a                nice home with plenty of oil to keep us warm during these cold months. I find that when I practice this on a                  regular basis, I lower my anxiety overall, not just in the moment.

  • Take a digital time-out:

This is a tough one for many of us. Our phones and devices are intentionally addictive. Each time we receive a              notification, it  gives us a hit of dopamine (a happy hormone.) Once we get a hit of dopamine, we want MORE              dopamine, so we scroll some more.

             The average person checks their phone 344 times a day – that is NOT going to                  help you reduce anxiety!

            A digital time-out can look very different for all of us.  I personally have my phone on silent most of the time.               This helps me to not react every time a text or new email come in. I remember asking a client if she could turn             off her notifications for just 3 days.  She absolutey could not – she got extremely anxious just thinking about it.             So we came up with a plan that worked for her – turning off all notifications except for texts (so she                                 wouldn’t miss something important from her kids.) She was surprised that something so simple could so easiy             help her to stop feeling anxious all the time.

I invite you to find YOUR digital time out for the next 7 days and then check to see how you are feeling                           anxious for no reason a lot  less of the time.

I’d love to hear how these simple techniques work for you – please comment below.

I was having a really rough summer, which led to numbing anxiety and plain fear. I woke up in the middle of the night, unable to go back to sleep because my heart was pounding and it was hard to breathe. I had a lot on my plate, fun things, but was incapable of starting anything, so I turned to Stephanie for help. After just ONE session, things changed dramatically, and since then I have launched my program and am sleeping at night again. And the best thing of all, I get to do all the fun stuff!

I had a serious car accident when I was 17 which landed me in the hospital and unable to walk or go to school for several months afterward. I had recurrent dreams and moments of reliving the crash for months. Fast forward 38 years, and I had another car accident a few weeks ago. I was shocked to find that same crash recurrence happening again, and creating a lot of anxiety when I drove. Knowing Stephanie's talents, I immediately contacted her and set up a session. What I loved is that she didn't go back and make me relive the crash again but knew that there might be a different cause for the PTSD. Sure enough, we discovered it and healed it. I can't tell you the difference since our session. Not once recurrence, and while I'm still a little nervous driving (which isn't a bad thing) I have the whole thing in perspective, and that out of the blue PTSD is gone! Thanks so much, Stephanie. Your gifts are amazing and appreciated!

If you are thinking that you don’t really need Stephanie . . . you’re wrong!!! I am here to tell you that you don’t even understand how much she can really help you. Success is exponential with Stephanie. I am now doing things in my business that I have wanted to do for years!! Thanks to Stephanie! The best way I can describe it in a “nutshell” is that she creates a safe space that allows you to release the old stuff that doesn’t serve you anymore. Then she helps you replace it with the things you want and the patterns and thoughts that help you get it. She has the expertise, experience, professionalism and drive to make her one of the best intuitive life coaches I have ever had! She has so many tools to use to help you succeed – from the unconscious to “nuts and bolts” – you’ll get it all. Then she has the methods to motivate and keep you on task. Most importantly for me is that she is intuitive so she can really tap into to what I personally need and want. She is worth the investment! I highly recommend her!!

Working with Stephanie has been life changing. She has helped me to release blockages that I didn’t even realize were holding me back from achieving the business success that I truly desire. After working with Stephanie for less than two months, the magic started to happen in my business. “Out of the blue” two ideal clients called me and I booked $20,000 worth of new business just like that! I have moved from anxiety and struggle to ease and faith. Thank you a million times over Stephanie. Your patience, guidance and unique talent have had a huge impact on my life and business.

I started to work with Stephanie when I thought I could not fit one more thing into my life. I am so happy to admit that I was wrong and I am so grateful that I got to work with a passionate, compassionate and enthusiastic woman such as Stephanie. I have started a new biz about bringing more peace and love into the world, I work as an artist and writer and you would think I had time for self-care. I kept forgetting me every day. Stephanie helped me to reintroduce myself to myself and find the time to just be and breathe and know that the answers do show up. Now I don't start the day with the world issues crashing down on me. I take the time to meditate, breathe, ask questions and give myself the most positive pep talks I can give myself. Working with Stephanie was like working with a dear friend who has all the answers, but her humanity and kindness really resonated with me. I can't thank Stephanie enough for her willingness to help me see my gifts and that I will not just walk thru my life; I will run thru it with my dreams intact and a really good pair of sneakers!
