In order to quickly move away from generalized anxiety you need to throw yourself 100% into life.
What is needed is to engage regularly in an activity that stimulates you, and holds your complete attention, something in which you can become completely absorbed.
Something that distracts you is a very valuable tool in taking your attention away from the uncomfortable sensation of anxiety that may be lingering in your body.
You see almost everyone with anxiety finds themselves getting a bit obsessed about how they feel at any given moment. The less preoccupied the person is, the more time there is to obsess over anxious sensations.
I am sure you have noticed that when you are doing something you enjoy or that really holds your attention, the less you ‘check in’ to measure your anxiety level.
Quite simply, the more you engage with life the less stagnant and anxious you will feel.
Some of the possible activities that interest you could be:
Gardening, playing a musical instrument, sport, or simply having a good conversation with a friend. The idea here is to find something that you can repeat on a regular basis that you enjoy doing or that at very least holds your attention.
If you find you have too much time on your hands and are having problems coming up with something you could do then I recommend you volunteer in a local voluntary scheme. It could be anything from helping the elderly, looking after animals or environmental conservation.
If you can spare even one or two hours a week for such work, not only will you feel your self-esteem improve, but it will help shake off any lingering feelings of isolation or loneliness which are so often accompanied by anxiety.
One thing you can be certain of is that there is some organization near you crying out for a volunteer just like you to assist them with their work.
The art of distraction has always been used to help people refocus and avoid concentrating on whatever physical or emotional discomfort the person is going through. It may just be the caring friend who invites their recently heart broken roommate out on the town to have some fun.
Dentists and doctors use distraction techniques frequently to distract the patient from a physical discomfort they may be experiencing, by giving them something else to focus on (usually the bill).
The purpose of using distraction, for people who want to live anxiety free, is to have new experiences that take the person’s mind off the anxious feelings they have been experiencing.
If you imagine that all the fearful anxious thoughts that go through your mind are like a roll of film being run through a film projector (your mind) and out into your life. Concentrating on some activity immediately cuts the film and brings you directly into the here and now.
When you are fully engaged with life there is no room for any anxiety disorder. This mental space you create enables both your body and mind time to become less sensitized to the anxiety.
By doing something you enjoy and feel you are good at, helps build new competencies. You are saying to yourself that the anxiety path is not one you want to travel down anymore and that you will put your focus elsewhere.
The more time you give to following these rewarding pursuits, the easier it is for your body to relax and return to a natural state of peace.
Combine this with my ONE MOVE technique and people often look back weeks later and wonder if it was really them who was so anxious all the time. Note, it normally takes a few weeks to reduce feelings of general anxiety. That is the standard amount of time to come back to feeling more yourself.
Let me remind you that I am here to work with you if you want to learn more about my course and the One Move technique which has turned so many peoples lives around.
I’m so confident that my program will help you conquer your anxiety, that I offer a 8 week trial. If you do not benefit from the course you can have your money refunded immediately.
My course Panic Away has proved highly successful with both long and short term sufferers of panic attacks.

Hi there. Just a quick note to say thank-you. I’ve struggled with panic attacks for the past 31 years. I’m very happy that I kept looking! More than happy actually – my life is changing daily as it all comes back together again.
Thanks again, R Edington

“Thank you, I just read this book and already I feel more confident. I’ve read and bought other panic solutions and this one finally taught me how to accept the anxiety and panic in a way I could understand. I wish I’d known about this when I was a teen-ager. Anyway I feel better just knowing about this technique. Thank you again for caring about people.
P.S. I can’t believe this valuable information costs so little, I bought one program for almost $300.00

I’ve been constantly suffering from panic attacks since I was 19. I am now going on 23, and my panic attacks are still quite the thing to deal with. I have a border less imagination, and its always felt like I have three stages of thought going through my mind at all times, so it is hard to focus.
My main problem with panic attacks is the feeling that The next one will be the one to send me into the mental hospital. I lose control and need to focus better!
I would do anything to rid myself of these and just be that outgoing person again.
After reading this I am more confident and will try the sleep exercise more often.
I know this is curable and all in my head!!
I hope as the new year comes, I can just live life!! and have healthier relationships with those around me, and myself.
Thank you for everything.
I have noticed that at times when I am extra busy in general (takes college courses and have other activities going on) I am less anxious. It’s almost like I don’t have time to think about my anxiety. I agree that distraction is a great tool! This and all the other articles and videos, etc. have been so helpful and I am excited that I will conquer this without medication!!!
i like all the coments of other people.i started to feel a bit confident.i know that it will take me some times and i need to be more strong,
Like many other subscribers I have been suffering from anxiety issues for the last twenty years. I am so glad that I kept looking. I have spent a fortune on other books, hypnosis etc but have never yet got to the point that I understood my anxiety and was able to move forward. I particularly found the morning writing invaluable it helped clear my mind before troubled thoughts got hold. Many thanks
hi…thank you for sending me the mini course on anxiety. I’ve been suffering from anxiety for over a year now. And i struggled to exist in my work…the important words i have learned? LEARN TO FACE THE FEAR…..with your suggestive measures and my belief to the Creator, i am sure that i can fully get rid of it. More power and God bless……..
I am now feeling very good these days thanks to your course and the process to eliminate the GAD has started. My problem started from a traumatic experience in late Oct 2009 so it wil take time. The issure keeps running through my head so staying business will work but that is easier said then done…

Thank you so much! You are like the light at the end of the tunnel. Once we are able to sort ourselves financially I hope to be able to purchase your book.
I cant say how much this has helped me,jst waiting for my fianances to get back to normal.so that i can buy the book.thankyou.
I just received the Panic Away course and read through it yesterday and can’t believe how much it has helped to change my anxiety. This book is a God send. Thanks so much for your incredible advice…Over the years I’ve had a fear of doctor visits because everytime I went my blood pressure would elevate and they would make a big deal of it. I would take my BP at home and it would be normal but could not convince my doctor. Now that I read through your course I feel I have a form of social anxiety which makes me feel embarrassed that everyone sees how nervous I am when my BP surges when I’m in a medical situation.
Barry add me to your list -this stuff works. Could sit here and give 25 reasons to buy this but easier to just tell them “”THIS DOES WORK IF YOU OPEN YOUR MIND AND LET IT FREE!!””
MIKE

All you sent through email are very successful to me…i feel now comfortable and even if i’m not fully confident its only a little bit of anxiety i experienced now not like before.

Hi All i have read all your letters & Barry’s emails and yes you are all right, the techniques used are very very helpful. I’ve only just started after coming across Barry’s Panic Away by accident i just feel it was meant to be. He definitly is an angel in disguise thankyou so so much love to all and Goodluck to everyone going through this horrible experiencexxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello bro, you really enlightened me. i had a friend who had anxiety disorder, he use to examined himself alway complaining but as soon as he entered the university all his anxiety left. so distraction really works. thanks!
I have`nt tested my biggest fear yet (driving in highway traffic) But my heart dos`nt shake like it did, And I kept thinking i was in for a big heart attack. Life in general is much better. It`s also good to know I`m not the only one on this planet with panic attack problems.
Thank you so much Barry, your Panic Away book has really helped me. I have suffered from GAD and panic attacks for over 30 years and have tried everything including therapy. Your book proved to me that my last set back was just that, a set back and nothing to worry about. And yes I agree with distraction, it is the key to feeling better. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to read Panic Away….in fact, I printed out the ebook and put it in a black 3 ring binder…it is now my “bible” so to speak….if I’m feeling anxious, I know it’s there for me to read over again, I take it to work with me and it helps just to know that it’s there.
I’m not 100% back to feeling good, but it’s only been a few weeks and I can tell a big difference, I am still anxious at night to try to wind down and go to sleep, shortness of breath, but I have watched your videos and they help alot, Thank you Barry, you are a wonderful person!
I enjoyed this very much–you are giving me hope—how do I get the book?–I am 76 and have a genetic history for this from my mother.—
