Re: Help needed for Step II in IIH
Actually, rather than pointing out the "worrying" (which may draw MORE focus and attention to it) you might want to try a more neutral or positive phrase. Maybe "okay" or "relax" or "it's cool" or something along those lines (those are all self-created relaxation triggers of my own; you can come up with any phrase you like, of course).
I find that if I tell myself that I'm worrying or I'm panicking or I'm hyperventilating, the subconscious response is generally, "Yeah, I AM!" and it makes it worse. Having a more neutral or counter suggestion is much more effective, so long as it's not blatantly ridiculous (i.e., telling myself something that I know can't possibly be correct, which causes the same kind of inner rebellion).
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
