Today’s miracle cure is…The solution to Approach Anxiety!! (Crowd Cheers)

My loyal readers (delusions of grandeur), there is no such thing as approach anxiety. You’ve been reading the wrong books, watching crap dvds, scripted by people that only want your money.

What if I told you the only reason AA exists, is because you allow it to exist?

AA, the horrible disease, is simply: Your body reacting to your mind.

Nothing more.

Emotion is the body’s reaction to your mind. Chew that over…say it out loud.

Let me repeat.

Emotion is the body’s reaction to your mind.

Think of yourself as a machine. Imagine all the cogs and circuits running like L.A. freeways from your scalp to your toes. When your neural pathways spark up, they send currents through your body that ignite your fight or flight response system. Your muscles tighten, your senses are heightened, you shake and sweat and throw up and stutter and so forth. And since your body is freaking out, this in turn causes your mind to spazz even more. It’s like a perpetual motion machine of doom. Often this vicious cycle manifests into what we call a, “Panic Attack.”

So what’s the solution? If you saw an out of control car spinning in circles with the driver passed out on the gas pedal, wouldn’t you yank the foot off the machine and rescue the guy? I mean, he’s passed out–unconscious. Consider that you are that guy at the wheel.

But nobody is going to rescue you. Why? Because most people have no concept of self-awareness, the Now, the Ego. They are unconscious of their own plight, never mind yours.  They’re too busy watching their own little movie in their head, starring themselves.

Approach anxiety is simply fear of the unknown. The unknown is the story you create in your head about what, “might happen,” or, “What might happen again.” It’s a screenplay running at full blast, brightness maxed, volume at ten, in your skull.

The, “fear,” as I like to call it, looks like this: You are either in the future, or in the past. Not here, right now, where you should be.

I used to throw up at the thought of public speaking. Not instantly, into my hands, or on my neighbors lap. Maybe just a little in my mouth.  Approaching a beautiful woman as a method of self-development? Pssshhaw! My first approach ever, my knees were actually shaking, no joke. Good thing it was the most fun I’d had in years.

By following these philosophies I changed my association from terror, to excitement and joy. You can too, you lucky blog reading bastard. (Why do I constantly discredit my professional guru status by making immature jokes? Because I can.)

Here is a simple exercise to eliminate your social anxiety. This exercise can eliminate all manner of anxiety if applied, but I’m putting this in a, “about to approach a babe,” type situation. Since that’s why you’re here. To learn how to get laid.

(A note, this isn’t some made up nonsense. I actually do this myself and with clients every weekend. It works.)

How to Eliminate Social Anxiety

Pick a random object or a spot on the wall. Now look at that spot and focus on your breathing. Breathe in deeply through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth.

Focus only on that object and nothing else. Tell your body to become more relaxed. Every breathe makes you ten times more relaxed. All the noise around you just floats by, increasing your relaxation.

This is important: Do Not Think.

Any thoughts that arrive just let them float by unnoticed. Focus only on the spot on the wall, the lamppost, the sign, whatever it is, focus only on that object and your breathing.

If you do this you will be in a mild hypnotic trance. Hopefully you will have stopped those annoying voices that cause the anxiety. This is the place you should be when approaching women…thoughtless, formless, just calm, pleasant, and present in the moment. Not thinking and spinning little stories.

It’s techniques like this that will help you approach women without having spazz attacks. It will help in business, with school, with public speaking, with just about everything you do. You’ll be just like that guy in the old spice ads, living the movie as the lead actor, punching octopuses, dating babes and spilling gold.

Now go out and try it. And leave comments about your experience dealing with anxiety.
