Anxiety Reduction Techniques - Goal Setting & the Linden Method Description
I've written many articles on anxiety and have given countless solutions to help people get over their problems. Over the years I have found that different things work for different people. For example, some of my friends will go to the gym after a long day at the office or a stressful argument with their spouse and feel completely better. Others, will require some sort of meditation or relaxation technique. And even then, there are still plenty of people who require other techniques.
I got a chance to review the Linden Method, which is a comprehensive panic attack/stress/anxiety reduction method. I was impressed. Not only that, but it seemed to work for a wide range of people. It was pretty much a resource that offered guidance from professional psychologists as well technique to finally relieve the anxiety that was so persistant in others.
The above link has further information on the Product. Now let me talk about Goal Setting.
Having a feeling of accomplishment can make you feel good and keep you from getting stressed out. Success breeds success, so completing a difficult task will create a good feeling and the momentum of good feeling will travel with you to the next task.
Start by creating four lists.Â
1) Daily Goals.
a) Write down every small task and cross it off. Going to school? Write it down. Work? Write it down. Each time you cross off that task, you are one step closer to accomplishing every goal for the day. It feels good making progress.
b) If you can't seem to get  (a) to work, try writing three main goals you would like to accomplish for the day, and fill the rest of the day with "mini-tasks." Sometimes this works better. It depends on the individual.
2) Weekly Goals
What do you want to accomplish on a weekly basis? Keep track.
3) Monthly Goals
Where do you want to be months from now? Career, health, and relationships are good starters.
4) Annual Goals.
Sometimes it's best ot backward engineer your list from here. If you know you want to be somewhere in a year from now, break it down into months, weeks, days and even hours and dtermine what you need to do to reach this point.
Hope you enjoyed.
