While many people will tell us that anxiety is created by worry-will tell us that anxiety is created by worry-will tell us that anxiety is created by worry ing about the future, anxiety can also be pro- duced by thinking back to past events that we have not let go of. Recently I was working with a woman who's been divorced for three years. She created anxiety every day by continuing to second-guess herself in regard to filing for divorce. As she shared with me during a recent session, she's jealous because her former husband has a new girlfriend, who is reaping the benefits that she used to call her own. She woke up early in the morning, unable to sleep, wondering if she made a mistake in divorcing him. Her anxiety is based in the past. She has not come to an acceptance that leaving an alcoholic, leaving a man who is not emotionally connected or available, was the right move. When I gave her an ex-was the right move. When I gave her an ex-was the right move. When I gave her an ex ercise to write out all of the reasons that she divorced him, her anxiety started to be mini- mized immediately. If you are anxious about decisions you made in the past or are more anxious about what might happen in the future versus liv-what might happen in the future versus liv-what might happen in the future versus liv ing in the present, these key steps will help you to deal with anxiety in a better way. This information should never take the place of medical intervention, but rather should be an adjunct to you working with your doctor to alleviate anxiety in your life. Step1. What causes your anxiety? Write it down. Is it something that you did in the past, that you need to come to an under-past, that you need to come to an under-past, that you need to come to an under standing or acceptance of?

Are you worried about your health, finances, children, or be- ing single for the rest of your life? You can start to diminish the hold anxiety has on you, simply by trying to locate in writing where the anxiety is coming from. Step 2. To become more in tune to the present moment, learn how to meditate, or even practice taking 10 deep breaths when you get up, again at noon, and at 10 at night. Creating these moments could actu- ally decrease your anxious response to the world. Deep breathing, just 10 simple deep breaths, can immediately start to lower your heart rate and blood pressure.
