End Anxious Thoughts In 4 Easy Steps
After having visited my site I can almost imagine what your repetitive anxious thought might be.
Maybe it’s a fear of:
-a panic attack
-never being free of general anxiety
-a bodily sensation that worries you
-a fear of losing control to anxiety
My name is Barry Joe McDonagh and I have successfully taught thousands of people in over 30 different countries, how to end general anxiety and panic attacks.
Whatever your particular fear is, I want to share some tips and techniques with you over the coming days that will not only help you end these fears but also reduce your general anxiety level dramatically.
After many years of coaching people to be anxiety free, I have noticed that those who experience panic attacks or general anxiety almost always deal with the frequent occurrence of anxious thoughts.
Anxiety has a sneaky way of seeding doubt regardless of whether the fear is rational or irrational.
So what can be done for people who suffer from repetitive anxious thoughts?
To begin, lets look at how an anxious thought is powered and then I will demonstrate how to quickly eliminate the intensity of the thought.
Say for example you are going about your daily business when an anxious thought enters your mind.
Whatever the nature of the thought, the pattern that follows is usually quite predictable.
The anxious thought flashes briefly in your awareness and as it does so you immediately react with fear as you contemplate the thought. The fearful reaction you have to the thought then sends a shock-wave through your nervous system. You feel the result of that fear most intensely in your stomach (due to the amount of nerve endings located there).
Because of the intense bodily reaction to the thought you then get sucked into examining the anxious thought over and over.
The continuous fearful reaction you have to the thought, increases the intensity of the experience. The more you react, the stronger the thought rebounds again in your awareness creating more anxious shock-waves throughout your body. This is the typical cycle of anxious thoughts.
For some it feels like the anxious thoughts are hijacking their peace of mind.
Because of the reaction you are having, you may continue to spend the rest of your day thinking about the anxious thoughts you experienced.
“Why am I thinking these thoughts?” “Why can’t I shake off this eerie feeling?”
The harder you try not to think about it, the more upset you become. It is like telling someone
‘Whatever happens do not think of a pink elephant’.
Naturally enough it’s all they can think about. That’s the way our brains our wired.
So how can you eliminate these unwanted anxious thoughts?
To begin with:
-when you start to experience anxious thoughts, it is very important not to force the thoughts away.
Let the thoughts in. The more comfortable you can become with them, the better. These thoughts will never go away fully but what you can learn is to change your reaction to them.
By changing your reaction to the anxious thoughts you become free of them.
Once you establish a new way of reacting to the thoughts it does not matter if you have them or not. Your reaction is what defines the whole experience (and that applies to almost everything).
Everybody experiences fleeting thoughts that many would consider scary or crazy. The difference between most people and somebody who gets caught up in them, is that the average person sees them for exactly what they are, fleeting anxious thoughts, and casually ignores them.
The anxious person is at a disadvantage as they already have a certain level of anxiety in their system. The thoughts easily spark feelings of further anxiety which builds into a cycle of fear. You break the cycle by changing how you react to the fearful thought.
Here is an example of how to approach this:
You are enjoying the way your day is going but then all of sudden a fearful thought comes to mind.
Before you would react with anxiety to the idea and then try to force that thought out of your mind.
This time, however, say:
“That’s a fear of X. I could worry and even obsess over that but this time I’m going to do something different. I’m not going to react to it. I’m also not going to try and stop it either. I’m just going to label the thought and not react.”
Then the thought comes again with more intensity and possibly with new ‘scary’ angles you never considered. When this happens you do exactly the same. As if you were observing a cloud passing overhead, you simply
-Observe it,
-Label it (fear of whatever), then
-Watch it as it passes by with no judgment.
then
-Move your attention on to what you were doing.
Observe, Label, Watch, Move on
See the anxious thought for what it really is: -one of the thousands of fleeting sane and insane thoughts every one of us experiences daily.
If you are a more indoors type of person then instead of thinking of the thoughts like clouds passing in the sky, you might try imagining a large cinema screen and the anxious thoughts are projected out onto the screen in front of you. Play around with this approach. Find what works for you.
The key thing to remember is to:
Observe, Label, Watch, Move on
By practicing this approach you gradually stop reacting with fear to the thought and you learn to treat it as nothing more than an odd peculiarity.
When you are at a stage where you are comfortable doing the above exercise and you feel you are making good progress, then try this additional step:
Actually invite one of your more regular fearful thoughts in.
Call the fear to you, say you just want it to come close so you can observe it.
It may seem like the last thing you would wish to bring upon yourself, as you don’t particularly enjoy these thoughts but this approach can be very empowering. You are now calling the shots. You actually invited the issue in.
By doing this you are discharging the dense vibration of fear surrounding the anxious thought. That fear was sustaining itself on your resistance, -the idea that you could not handle these thoughts.
The fear quickly evaporates when you turn around and say “yes of course I can handle these thoughts.”
Fear intensifies when we pull away from it. Anxious thoughts become a mental tug of war if we struggle with them.
It is the mental struggle of pulling against the anxious thoughts that creates the inner psychological tension.
The inner tension is fueled by thoughts like:
“I can’t handle to think about this -please go away”
“I don’t like that thought- I want it to stop!”
Take a different stance. Invite anxious thoughts in. Willingly sit with them, label them and do your very best not to react.
Yes, it does take practice but very soon you find yourself in a unique position of control. You are no longer a victim of fearful thinking but a decision maker in what you will or will not be concerned about.
As with every technique there is always a level of practice involved in the beginning. Initially you start observing but then suddenly get anxious about the fearful thought. That’s very normal in the beginning.
Keep at it. Practice and you will quickly see how less impacting those fearful thoughts become.
Do not let your mind trick you into believing that your anxiety is something you will always have to struggle with. That is simply not true.
Not alone is it possible to control the occurrence of anxious thoughts but I can teach you how to end panic attacks and general anxiety if that is your goal.
You can have the life of your dreams. Anxiety does not have the right to steal that hope from you.
I’m going to e-mail you my mini series. It will help reduce anxiety levels significantly.
Some of this information forms a small part of the Panic Away Program. My full program eliminates panic attacks and general anxiety very quickly and has proved highly successful with both long and short term sufferers of anxiety. The results speak for themselves.

…learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years
I must tell you that out of all the items you can purchase regarding anxiety related products on the internet, I learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years that I’ve had this condition.
I had been on Xanax and Klonopin for about 10 years, but this December, I decided to withdraw from it thinking I didn’t need the pills anymore according to some of the programs I ordered claiming “miracle cures”. That’s when all my symptoms started again. I felt as if I had wasted the past 20 years trying to get better.That’s when I started searching the web for home based “cures”. I ordered so many programs I started to get confused from too much conflicting advice. Also, I was promised support but I am still waiting replies from some of the more expensive programs!
You are a true gentleman, and I am going to post a very positive feedback on a website you might be familiar about called: Tapir?
Talk to ya, Andy
=================================
…I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS
I RAN ACROSS YOUR PROGRAM SUNDAY, FEB. 5th. I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING EVERYTHING FROM PANIC SUPPORT CLASSES, MEDICATION, COUNSELING AND THE LIST GOES ON, ALL TO RID MYSELF OF PANIC ATTACKS. SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAID, JUST KEEP TRYING, SO I DID. AFTER 5 YEARS OF OF LIVING MY LIFE WITH THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS I AM EXCITED TO SAY THAT I AM NOW PANIC FREE. AFTER ONE TIME OF APPLYING YOUR ONE MOVE TECHNIQUE, I AM A NEW PERSON.
ONE OF MY MANY FEARS THAT I DEVELOPED WAS DRIVING. AFTER READING YOUR PROGRAM AT 12.30 AT NIGHT I WROTE DOWN SOME QUICK NOTES FROM YOUR “ONE MOVE TECH.” I RAN OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DROVE TOWARD THE DARKEST SCARIEST ROAD WHERE NOBODY WAS NEAR BY.
THIS WOULD DEFINITLY BRING ON AN FULL PANIC ATTACK, WHICH IT DID. WHILE LETTING MYSELF FEEL THE EMOTIONS RUN THROUGH ME, I DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO, I WAS SCARED AS HELL BUT STOOD MY GROUND. I INSTANTLY CALMED AND EVEN TRIED TO BRING THE ATTACK BACK ON, BUT COULD NOT. I LITTERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND SAT IN MY TRUCK AMAZED. AFTER ALL THIS TIME THAT WAS ALL I HAD TO DO. THE COMPLETE OPPOSIT OF EVERYTHING THAT I WAS TOLD. THIS WHOLE WEEK I HAVE DRIVEN WHERE EVER I WANTED,AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR PROGRAM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR RESEARCH, TIME, AND DEDICATION SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE US CAN NOW LIVE A NORMAL AND HAPPY LIFE. JACKSON CA, AARON

…I prayed to God to show me what to do
I experienced my first panic attack in July of this year and ended up going to the hospital by ambulance thinking I was having a stroke or heart attack! I have had a bunch of attacks since then. Monday morning I awoke to an immediate attack and prayed to God to show me what to do. To make a long story short, I was led to your website but was afraid it was like the other ones where they try to sell you their products. However, your introductory information really spoke to me and I decided to take a chance. I read your book and it gave me the tools I was searching for to deal with my attacks.
I could tell immediately that you have suffered from panic attacks yourself because you spoke with authority that can only have come from having dealt with the terrors yourself. I am 42 years of age and have been noticing the psychological effects of perimenopause (one of which is panic attacks in my case). Thanks again!!
Sincerely, Cynthia

I have suffered from anxiety since I was a child and I’m only 23 years old and have wasted most of my life worrying about getting anxiety attacks. I am proud to say that this program has helped me tremendously and that I recently got an anxiety attack on the day of my final and was not only able to compose myself but 3 minutes after the attack I was fine and had no fear at all. I was able to drive at night 30 miles away to take my final and I passed my neuroscience course. Thanks again!

thus making liven a normal life unbearable, iv been searching for an eternity for a way to control my emotions to no effect leaving me feeling hopeless and alone in my torments, but now iv found a clever man that’s explained to me in layman’s terms a solution, that all makes sense to me, I’m slowly coming to terms with my fears , and starting to feel positive feelings just from the words that i have read here, this is the best thing since sliced bread,,

I seriously had a sigh of relief with a smile, reading your newsletter and peoples’ comments-eventhoiugh my family and friends have known about my symptoms, panic attacks and strange, irrational fears my whole life. I’ve seriously felt trapped in my own head or own dimension with whack thoughts and fears for example, from worrying about cancer to the existence of life itself, the earth and universe, the human brain, what we are, to present fears toward objects such as the feelings these particular mountains give me to the west of my city! Strange? to me hell yeah, but now I feel not so alone and better just knowing I can identify what I’m having and that we can literally fear ANY object rational or irrational, but learn to deal with it. THANKYOU, you’ve gotta be an angel.

Thank You God for this site and for Barry Joe McDonagh! This article already was so so calming.
My first and last (thanks to God) real panic attack was a year ago, I felt I was either going to die or to go insane, I choosed to live and to do everything I could ever imagine, I made hudge changes in my life and started to trust the Lord, Myself and not my anxiety….till few days ago I felt suddenly like the panic attack will come again (because of my sudden illness that keeps me at home) I now know this little panic attack-like thing of mine wanted me to remember to LIVE and not waste what God has given to me and here I’am and now I know it just can’t come, cause You Barry said so and I trust You beacuse God led me to Your page. I’m not afraid anymore. Than You so much!

Hi Other Posters and Barry,
Wow, here are people who have experienced the same physical sensations as me and my daughter, I had no-one to communicate with about the less well known side of GAD, the initial tingling, fainting a couple of times, Panic attachs, weight loss, edgeness, difficulty doing any task, most worringly the ones that pereviously the subconsious took care of, and I took for granted that I’d normally not require any effort to think about. With GAD even making sandwidges took huge concentration and will power. The constant effects of GAD when driving, affecting eyesight, hearing, breathing, stomach, and stamina was compounding. I even fought my fears with showering in the morning, that became a 3 miniute get in and get out affair. The Dr’s and specialists helped best they could with the medication & mental part, but I was feeling alone physically waging a seasaw war with it. For a year I could only sleep with a pillow over my head, I was so afraid. I didnt know what I was afraid of, and that made me afraid. Exercise, running, burning the bad adrenalin that kept poisoning my body, and getting the relief of the endorphins in return were my best result at ‘coping’. Keeping up the normal routine of life and not hiding was my last line of defence. Understand now, I was in emotional exhaustion for decades, everything poised for a shocking event to trigger the anxiety and panic onslaught. Now I am in the right place, the right time with the right friends to support what I am doing, so like they say “Bring it on”. I cant wait to greet you (fear, anxiety etc). I am my own tool box and when you show me your worst, I’ll invite you in, suck you up, wizz you up, pour your thoughts onto paper and burn them, put a notch of achievement on my belt and embrace the whole experience. I can feel again and not be afraid. Breathe, stretch, smile, relax. LIVE.

You are some kind of special person. It’s nice to know that probably most of the world can be as anxious as the rest of us-I never thought that. It’s all in how you handle it. I always thought it was how you react to it. There is a big difference there. I don’t react to stress very well. Maybe I can handle it a lot better with your help and Gods. I feel a little better after reading your first newsletter with the mini-course and I am not sure why so it has to be what you said and how you said it. I have to share. Thank you for a better day today.

I don’t what brought me to your site, but whenever I have surgery, I go into a sad state after. My doctor just upped my medication and I have been feeling lost these last two weeks. I think alot about my health and my families history. My heart pounds, I can hear it in my ears. I get pain in my back and in my chest. I also have made trips to the hospital thinking it was a heart attack. I will certainly try the 4 steps. I pray it will calm me down. Thanks for the information.

carolyn burns
hi, i have been suffering with panic attack since last year, as i was getting married so i just put it down to stress. it was a horrible few months. i had dizzyness, stomach pain, back pain, head fog, feeling like i would faint, panic on trains or shopping centres, i ended up in A&E twice, and even got a scan on my stomach to see if i had cysts. i went to see so many doctors, had accupunture, went to a dietian and nobody helped, eventually i had to go on tablets… anyway after i got married the horrible feeling went away but not for good, it has come back and i dont know why.. i cant even leave the house, the knots in my stomach and the heavy head is the worst. every night when i go to bed i hope and pray to god that i will wake up feeling ok but i dont and thats soul crushing when u wake up and the pains are still there which gets you down and then everyone thinks ur depressed so its a vicous circle. im afraid of buyin this product and it doest work.. but it seems to be the more genuine on the web. i was thinking of trying yoga aswell..hope it helps… fingers crossed…

Rob Foot
In Britain [England] which is where I live these thoughts you mention are known as ‘running thoughts’ they are called this by psychiatrists and psychologists alike and are as you indicate disturbing for the sufferer. However much anxiety I find is caused by remembering things continually bringing them back into ones mind these running thoughts could be just an order of doing things or things to do such as shopping [must do that] have to buy this this this and the other your stood there in the shop wanting all these thoughts to go away , your looking for things that your disordered mind cannot now find your becoming overwraught and disfunctional the anxiety is increasing and panic setting in, the whole situation fraught, you despair …soon it will be paper bag time …

When my partner and i bought our first home in November last year I suffered with panic and anxiety. It was the worst time of my life and i thought it was never going to end, I was petrified of the thought of panicking. I couldn’t eat,or sleep and i had hot flushes and felt sick and lost so much weight. I came across this website and can safely say that it saved my life. I really thought i was going to suffer with these thoughts for ever and thanks to this page and the free mini series i signed up for i was rid of the terrors in a few days. I looked forward to receiving the free emails everyday because they helped me so much. I saved them in a folder for future reference.
We recently booked our wedding and over the last couple of days i have been starting to feel anxious all though the wedding isn’t until next year, I had a panic attack over these thoughts in the gym this morning. I have came home and read the first email i was sent back in Novemeber and instantly feel a relief. I know that this program really works and would recommend everyone who suffers with these fearful thoughts to sign up.
Thank You Barry, Your work is amazing x
Claire
It truly might help, better than trying any medication and relying on it, you have to conquer yourself and your thoughts to help live a better life. Very good information, I think. thanks and good luck to everyone for a happier and healthier life. We should all help each other, even in conquering our own inner fears which most people we live with won’t know about!

I’m only 18 and I’ve had panic/ anxiety attacks for goin on 3 or more months! and it sucks cus I’m so younng and I love to go out:-(. But i read some of the emails Barry sent me and I feel a little relieved from them. Slowly but surely I think I can put an end to this nonsense.
Jasam
Actually, Barry, you have allready helped me with this, and now I just need to keep it somwere in my inbox for luck or if I ever will need it, (not that I feel I would). I experienced my first and hopfully only panicking period of about two months. I was very annoyed with dificulty to breath properly, to do what I have to and love to and so on…This was however result of my four year anxiety and fear of future.
When I experienced panic attacs I immedietly start looking for help. However, therapist told me I MUST take antidepresants and by no means anxiolitics. I tried, and I felt so sick that I stoped it. My other doctor said to take anxiolitics. I tried. I wasnt so sick, but my bloodpressure decresed so much I could just lie, so I quit.
I found Barries site, I subscribed and what I got helped me in couple weeks. It made so sence, it was so smart and I was happy not only to get rid of panic and most of anxiety, but to know that in future I will be in controle because I recignize mechanism and its where it breakes:)
Thankyou, Barry

I dont know who reads these but this is actually the second time i read these e-mails the first time i read them and just took in all the information but now that i read them again i want to say that this information has been very helpful. Before i read these i was so unaware of what anxiety really was. The best news ive ever got is knowing that nothing is really physically wrong with me and that im not the only one. I have reacently discovered i have had anxiety for much longer than Ive thought. I am 26 yrs old and have two amazing children and a loving husband to take care of so I have been praying to the Lord that he may take it all away. Ive struggled with my marrige because of it and one day without hessitation I found this site I am very blesses with an amazing family and I want to enjoy them to the fulest. I will definetly give the book a try and continue learning more about this condiotion and with the help of God I will overcome this because I now know that this testimony like many others can change so many peoples lives thank u for all ur e-mails and thank Jesus for me finding u guys. May God bless u and u will be hearing from me soon 🙂

i have recently been told by my doctor i suffer with anxiety. Its only been the last few weeks that i get it everyday. Its worse at night and cannot go to bed until im literally falling asleep standing up as i get the feeling im prob not going to wake up from having a heart attack. I get these closed up feeling in my throat too which only started last week, of course i keep going to the doctors and its all down to the same thing, i feel like i want to ask them to send me for scans and xray make sure everything is fine!!i do not understand how, when and where this feeling came from, i cannot put my finger on what could’ve caused it, all i know is that i do not want to feel like this and scared anymore and to have a decent nights kip so im not a grouchy mum. after reading this i think i’ll give it a go, i feel a bit more settled and calm just by reading the top part 🙂

It was nice receiving your mails, it gave me the confidence that there is nothing wrong with me and there are many people like me out there. Thanks very much.

There is a book called “Brain Lock” .. In Brain Lock, Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz presents a simple four-step method for overcoming OCD that is so effective, it’s now used in academic treatment centers throughout the world. Proven by brain-imaging tests to actually alter the brain’s chemistry, this method doesn’t rely on psychopharmaceuticals.
I noticed many similarities between Dr. Schwarts method and Barry Joe McDonagh method. They both use a Four Steps Method.
I recomend that people who are suffering from anxiety resulting from OCD to read both books.
The two books together (Panic-Away and Brain Lock) will give excellent results.
