PCI Weekly Issue #5: Anxiety

Learn to Manage Your Worries and Achieve More in Life

“Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems”
― Epictetus

Welcome to another issue of PCI Weekly, the newsletter that helps you become more powerful, creative, and influential in life and business through the study and application of NLP, Personal Development, and related disciplines.

This week’s newsletter is all about how to deal with anxiety. According to the dictionary, anxiety is defined as a state of being nervous, uneasy, or worried about something. While it’s normal to feel nervous or uneasy from time to time, anxiety tends to be persistent in nature, which can be both mentally and physically debilitating.

We’re going to be sharing 3 articles that offer different perspectives on anxiety and how to effectively cope with it and in some cases, eliminate it entirely. As a quick disclaimer, this is not medical advice and this is purely for educational purposes only.

Here are the articles we’ll be sharing with you:

• 5 Ways to Get Rid of Anxiety

• How to Overcome Anxiety

• 11 Tips for Coping with an Anxiety Disorder

Let’s dive in.

5 Ways to Get Rid of Anxiety

In this article, Mark Manson, the bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, shares 5 techniques to help you cope with anxiety in the moment, as well as one long-term approach to build resilience and acceptance. Some of the techniques include:

• Breathing with purpose: using the 4-7-8 technique to calm your nervous system and relax your body.

• Meditation: practicing mindfulness and observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

• Sharing your thoughts and feelings: talking to someone you trust and getting support and perspective.

• Negative visualization: imagining the worst-case scenario and learning to accept it.

• Tequila orgy: just kidding! This is a joke to make you laugh, which can also help with anxiety.

The article also reminds us that there is no quick fix or magic pill for anxiety. We should focus on embracing a long-term mindset and developing strategies to manage it effectively.
