Overcoming Anxiety: Training Guide

This is a training guide rather than a narrative book: a set of written exercises and mindfulness practices for anyone who wants to look honestly at what they worry about and work on their thinking habits. It starts with a self-audit, moves through mindset and memory exercises, and ends with four mindfulness practices and advice on keeping the routine going. Bring a notebook, because most of it asks you to write.

What's inside

• A written self-audit: listing what makes you anxious, what you fear, and what you feel guilty or doubtful about
• Sorting that list into categories and ranking it by intensity, so you can see the pattern instead of the noise
• A long section on mindset: how your habitual thinking shapes what you notice and how you respond
• Practical mindset work using affirmations, a personal change diary and a daily recommitment routine
• An exercise for separating what actually happened from the interpretation you added afterwards, worked through one memory at a time
• Four mindfulness practices explained side by side: present observation, waking meditation, transcendental meditation and breath counting
• Building momentum with an accountability partner and by regularly reviewing your own narrative
• A closing section on consistency and putting the exercises into daily practice
