I often get emails asking about the differences between EasyCalm and other methods of overcoming anxiety, so I wanted to post my thoughts on the subject today.

 Of course, I haven’t tried EVERY possible method of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks, but I have tried a LOT! (it’s sad/funny because it’s true! haha) Here’s how I think the EasyCalm Series differs from other programs:

Many popular methods say that you have to re-train your thoughts (pretty much all of them), but the big difference in programs is HOW they propose to do this. EasyCalm (www.easycalm.com) uses a very gradual approach to build a “pattern of success” (very important) to change your overall outlook and the way you deal with potential anxiety situations (and life in general). It is true that we’ve had great success with this method, and I have coached it to hundreds of people over the last 5 years who have turned their life around completely. Here’s one of the reasons why:
 
One of the main points of EasyCalm is that “you literally cannot start too small.” This means, that you can set your expectations extremely low in the beginning–it really does not matter, as long as you are consistent (that is the key). We use small improvements (little victories) to build upon and create a pattern of success (successfully dealing with life’s challenges and worries). Over time, this decreases the base level of anxiety and research shows that it actually “rewires” the neural pathways in the brain. So you not only FEEL different, you actually ARE different.
 
In my experience, this type of behavioral modification technology is vastly underused — a great deal of substantial research verifies the benefits of using this methodology to overcome a wide range of behavioral/emotional issues such as anxiety and even depression. And of course, we offer a more comprehensive refund policy than most methods — a full 2 months. This ensures that anyone can try our approach and test the results for themselves with absolutely no risk — just the way it should be.
 
One personal note: these days, many people are aware of the concept, “Whatever you focus your attention upon  tends to expand in your life.” Well, in my experience, this is ESPECIALLY true of anxiety. That is why the EasyCalm Series focuses on successes (even small ones) and progress (no matter how modest) to build stronger and stronger patterns of success. In effect, we deal more with solutions and strengths, than problems and limitations. That, to me, is the single greatest attribute that sets us apart. When you get down to it, EasyCalm (www.easycalm.com) is not really about anxiety at all (oddly enough!) — it is about enjoying a healthy, balanced life. That is the goal, so THAT is were we place the bulk of our attention!
 
Until next time, be well and be aware — where is your focus today?
