- How To Overcome Fear Of Lifts With Hypnotherapy
By: Roseanna Leaton | - Many of us in the modern day are frustrated by unnecessary fears. A phobia of lifts does not affect you every day of the week but despite this it is very uncomfortable and totally unnecessary.
Some people think "feel the fear and do it anyway". But this is rather unhelpful and makes you believe that there is no way forward. There is a way in which you can easily overcome your fear.
One is not born with a fear of lifts. Rather, a fear is a learned response ...

- Curing Needle Phobia
By: Roseanna Leaton | - Some people are really comfortable around needles, whilst others are overcome by a burning desire to run away to another planet when faced with the spectacle of a needle. You can also be perfectly ok with needles in one context and yet not at all comfortable when that needle is encountered in a different situation. You can be comfortable in the dentists but not comfortable giving blood, or vice versa.
Most people aren't at all bothered when contemplating a needle employed in the ...

- You Can Overcome Fear Of Rejection
By: Roseanna Leaton | - Dating can be a daunting pastime. For some it is a wonderful game, full of interest and intrigue, whilst for others is an embarrassing and awkward nightmare. You start asking yourself what on earth you are going to say, whether to try a new chat up line or to talk about the weather and questioning how you look or what you should wear and how to get past go in this dating arena.

- How To Overcome Fear Of Swimming
By: Roseanna Leaton | - There are very few people who do not like watching the natural movements of the ocean. It is a vista which is always moving and ever changing, presenting to the viewer an amazing cacophony of colors. Blues, greens, turquoise and grey all mix and blend together in this wonderful body of endless and seamless motion.

- How To Overcome Fear Of The Dark
By: Roseanna Leaton | - What is it about darkness which can set a person's heart beating faster and trigger sensations of anxiety which have the ability to spread like a grey cloak of mist throughout your physiology? Stories about the "bogey man" come to mind and are instantly dismissed as being completely illogical; even so, the coiled sensation of fear remains. Your logical mind and your emotions agree to differ and each attempts to pursue its own course.
The emotional mind is the one which tends to wi ...

- How To Overcome Fear Of Lifts
By: Roseanna Leaton | - A fear of lifts may take many forms. Sometimes this fear can be felt as a vague unease, whilst at other times these tingles of anxiety can morph into a full blown panic attack. Anxiety over anything does indeed tend to escalate over time; what begins as a vague feeling of discomfort turns into a completely debilitating phobia.
New buildings all over the globe are getting ever taller, each architect or construction firm competing for the title as creator of the highest building or ...

- How To Overcome Fear Of Flying
By: Roseanna Leaton | - A fear of flying is in this day and age extremely restricting. So many people these days enjoy a lifestyle which involves flying almost as frequently as we used to take taxis. Many jobs are dependent upon flying on a regular basis, be it a short internal flight or one which involves sitting on an airplane for up to twenty hours.
A fear of flying can take many forms; one individual may be quite comfortable on a small plane but petrified on a jumbo, whilst the opposite may be true f ...

- Solve Horseback Riding Fear With Gratitude
By: Jane Savoie | - It's completely reasonable that you might have some fear when horseback riding. After all, you're dealing with a reactive (reactive means bolt, spin, buck, shy, or rear!) animal that outweighs you by a lot. But you can solve those horseback riding fears by adopting an attitude of gratitude.
The first thing you need to remember is that 99% of the things you fear never come to pass.
So why waste all that energy worrying about things that will probably never happen. Ma ...

- Manage Horseback Riding Fear By Staying In The Moment
By: Jane Savoie | - Fear is a very real issue for many horseback riders. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, it would be surprising if you never felt afraid when riding. After all, you're dealing with an animal that greatly outweighs you.
In addition to their size, horses are not always predictable. After all, they've survived all this time because of their flight instinct. The fact that they're reactive creatures rather than logical ones can be scary.
Don't get me wrong. F ...

- See Yourself Putting Better And Enjoying Golf More With Golf Psychology
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - There were some amazing golf and putting psychology lessons on show with Phil Mickelson's stunning win at the Tour Championship at East Lake this weekend. Yes I know Tiger won the FedEx Cup and the $10 million with an amazingly consistent series of results. But given Phil's year, both on and especially off the course, his victory on Sunday was a simply joyous and breathtaking turnaround. Phil had looked out of sorts in recent weeks and after his quadruple bogey 8 on the 14th hole in the first ro ...

- 2 Simple Tips For Managing Irrational Fear While Horseback Riding
By: Jane Savoie | - I often hear from horseback riders that they have irrational fears about being out of control or getting hurt when riding. The fear seems irrational because they've never actually had an accident or injury. So they wonder where the fear comes from.
For what it's worth, I used to have "irrational fears" about flying. It was so bad that I would only do clinics within driving distance. It turns out that the fear of flying was just a convenient "hook" to hang stuff on. It allowed me t ...

- Two Simple Tips To Help You Relax When You Ride Your Horse
By: Jane Savoie | - Fear is a very real issue for many riders so here are two simple tips to help you relax when you ride your horse.
The first tip is to learn how to "stay in the moment". When you're afraid, your mind isn't in the present. It's on what might happen in the future. Remember that 99 percent of what you fear, never happens. Why use up so much energy and emotion worrying about things that might happen but usually never do? Instead manage your fear by "staying in the moment".

- Channel Your First Tee Nerves Into Unconscious Golf Resources For Better Golf
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - There's a danger we treat fear completely as a bad thing in golf psychology. Now I know this goes against a lot of what I've been saying, but I'm talking here about the thin end of fear - nervousness. For many people, nervousness is the buzz of competition, whether we're competing with other people, ourselves or the golf course we happen to be playing.
For many people the buzz is part of the enjoyment. Perhaps that's what Mark Twain was referring to when he wrote that "Golf is ...

- Eft For Better Golf: Part 2 - Let's Get Tapping
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - EFT, the Emotional Freedom Technique in its traditional form is used by therapists with their clients and by individuals to reduce or eliminate all types of negative emotions including anger, fear, grief, trauma, anxiety and stress.

- Heads Won Yet Again In This Trading Game, Are You First In Line?
By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - One of Britain's biggest news papers made it official this week. The front page proudly
pronounced in bold letters: The recession is over.
The news as always is full of biased comments loaded with emotions of pride, fear and plain arrogance, and a total lack of balanced evaluation of facts. If the latest news is to be believed the FOOTSIE, DOW and NASDAQ will rise to new highs very soon. Forgotten is the pain of only a few months ago, it seems and we will all happily live e ...

- You're Not Afraid Of Heights Are You?
By: Roseanna Leaton | - Philippe Petit certainly has no fear of heights. This is the French man who came into the spotlight for virtually dancing his way across a wire between the twin towers in New York on one August morning in 1974. Petit's feat has more recently become the subject of the film "man on wire" and has refreshed our minds (those who can remember back to then) as to how amazing this actually was.
Petit had a history of taking what appeared to the observer a casual stroll along high wire ...

- Overcome Your Fear Of Spiders With Hypnosis Downloads
By: Roseanna Leaton | - As I lay in bed last night I became aware of something moving across the ceiling. This spider (only mid-sized, so please don't freak out at the idea!) was following a line along the outer edge of the ceiling and then came to rest for several moments directly above my head. I watched as he (or she) paused and then scurried off across the ceiling. I found myself becoming fascinated by where he was going (ok, I admit I didn't want him to lose his grip and fall on me in the night!) and I also wond ...

- Famous People Afraid Of Flying
By: Roseanna Leaton | - Anxieties and fears are to most of us like blemishes which we are slightly ashamed of and therefore we do our best to cover them up. Well, that's how it used to be. I have to marvel at how times have changed. There has been a tidal wave of people "coming out" about one thing or another. A realization seems to have hit the world - that there is no one correct interpretation of what is normal, right or good. We each are individuals and as such we differ in our own unique ways, whilst at the sa ...

- Why Cognitive Behaviour Techniques Could Improve Your Trading Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - If you are an experienced trader or investor you will know that mastery is a mind game. In fact, trading and investing are about understanding crowd psychology and your own psychology, because when you fully understand how you react to events deemed to be outside of your control you are taking control of yourself.
This very simple fact is easy to write about, and I have written about it a lot, yet putting the theory into practice is quite a different matter. Particularly in the ...

- Learn To Love Chaos And Stop Fearing Loss
By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - It is a known fact when times get difficult and we experience challenges in our lives we tend go back into the past in the search for answers.
Cycle analysis looks to forecast the future by looking at the past. There is the belief that what has worked in the past will work again in the future. Up to a certain degree this is true, but ultimately going back in time for answers is a very simplistic way of going about things and does not stand the test of time very well. In fact it i ...

- Could Trading Make You A Living In These Uncertain Times?
By: Mercedes Oestermann van Essen | - Trading is one of the fastest ways to make money. If you can trade persistently profitably you will be in the top 5 percent of people, because an amazing 95 percent of traders fail. The main reason is not their trading system but their psychology. Unless you have the right trading mind set you will fail faster then you ever imagined possible.
I know from personal hard earned experience that the best trading system will not make you money if your psychology is not right. In the oth ...

- Is It Possible That You Have Intense Fear Of Germs?
By: Jane D Reynolds | - From the time we are kids, getting muddy is something that is almost a pass time. Our parents try to keep us and our clothes hygienic to no avail, because after washing our hands many times, we gather ourselves and go right away back to our dust piles. As we grow older, the passion of playing with dirt is often left behind and we live our lives with a renewed sense of sanitation. For a few, however, a germ phobia prevents average life from occurring. This germ phobia is also called mysophobia an ...

- Energy Psychology Is Yoga For Your Imagination
By: Jon Mejia | - Dear Friends,
We are all familiar with the concept of ying and yang, consciousness and unconsciousness, ebb and flow. In yoga, the asanas we strive to perfect with our bodies speak to our deep desire to perfect and unite our mind, body and spirit. And yet, often in spite of years of dedicated practice, many of us find that our mind remains unruly, capricious and, at times, decidedly unfriendly to our stated goal of peacefulness and calm. Why is that?
For the answer ...

- About The Fear Of Flying - The Psychology Of Fear
By: Chris James | - Fear is like a self-replicating computer virus. It needs only to start for it to develop a momentum of its own. It is difficult for anyone suffering from a fear to examine it objectively because the very process of examining it will change it, and in all probability change it for the worse. Our fears control many of our conscious and unconscious thoughts and a fear will gather information to support itself, while at the same time prevent us from collecting information to dislodge or deny it.

It is a sort of sickness sometimes irresolute, sometimes violent and again at times it is unendurable! It is not real fear, yet it belongs to the fear syndrome. It is a kind of fear - a fear which is inexplicable.
