How NLP can be used to prevent anxiety

There are a lot of things which can bring on anxiety in a person; the most often seen causes though are anxiety caused by social situations and anxiety caused by pressure from upcoming events for a person. NLP lets people control the way they come across to other people by mediating the way they behave and speak so that a person feels comfortable about their behaviour and responses thus taking away a lot of the anxiety.

How to Face a Flying Phobia

A fear of flying, or aerophobia, is a common thing. In a world where it’s increasingly common to have to take long journeys in an airliner this can be a problem. But there are things that you can do to help. The method of cure depends upon the acuteness of the phobia, with some people having only a mild, manageable fear, and others exhibiting all-out panic. Here are some ways that can help.

The difference between healthy and unhealthy fear

Fear isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Buddhists, for example, believe in healthy and unhealthy fear. In general, fears are unhealthy if they are directed at something that doesn’t actually pose a threat (like moths) or if they are directed at something unavoidable (like death). These unhealthy fears don’t make us happy – indeed, they can stifle us in day-to-day life. By contrast, healthy fears are directed at real dangers (like lung cancer) – if someone stops smoking because they’re afraid of getting cancer, that is a rational, positive response to something which can be influenced.

Researchers suggest changes to the way we eat

Of course, people want to save as much money as they can, but as well as looking at price and nutritional info, people also have to decide whether to buy organic or fair trade items.
