However, I do not believe that thinking of positive outcomes will make them manifest. Following your passion is the key to any type of success, not thinking about the outcome. There are plenty of athletes that have envisioned winning a game or race and did not.

50,000 visitors later, and largely thanks to you, I am launching a membership site and social community called, LifelongHappiness.com. It will be a place where people can gain both free and premium access and actually PRACTICE all that goes into creating a happy life.

My theory has always been that you can learn what goes into owning happiness all day long, but if you don’t practice it everyday, it’s meaningless. This community will be the place to do that.

Part of my content will be to provide interviews with experts. I would love to interview you about your past challenges in this area and all that you did to overcome them. I’d love to hear from you, Yaro.

Thanks again for all you do!

Don’t think i’ve ever had panic attacks but i did struggle consistently with negative affirmations. I believe another side effect of buying into such affirmations-apart from experiencing panic attacks- is depression.

I constantly struggled with depression: I was short tempered, irritable, hardly smiled, felt constantly close to tears and i was frustrated. Generally, not a very nice person. It was when i started ‘taking it out’ on my family, i knew it was time to do something about it.

Like you, i went to google.Focused more on inpiring quotes and sayings on happiness though (because with me, assimilation is easier in small doses!). Then i decided to take it a step further from just getting inspired to taking deliberate steps to getting myself out of the pit hole i was in, using the messages in those quotes.

I am in a much better place today but like you’ve indicated, it is an ongoing process and we must consistenty choose to be happy- regardless of cirmcumstance or thought. But i will never forget what a dark place i was in and wish i could help people out of it or outrightly avoid it (heck, i even started a blog on it).

Blessings upon all your endeavours, mate and keep doing what you’re doing.

Warmest Regards,

Thank Yaro for your wonderful insight about Key to happiness. You continue to uplift us and made us to keep on going and stay happy

Excellent article Yaro. I love them all.

I agree, It is possible to overcome panic attacks and negative thinking by controlling your thoughts. Great post and great information, you are helping so many people through sharing your story!

I just wanted to say that you do a great job and have a fantastic blog. I always find sth interesting when I drop by

Cheers!

that is an impressive story. I had changed my selftalk too. I started doing it by releasing the tension in my body. The reason for that was I wanted to do what others could do.

While I was going to release tension all sorts of feelings came up. The more I released the better I felt.

This process helped me to get rid of my eyeglasses and medicine. The medicine caused depressiv feelings and lots of other bad sideeffects.

I learned to see people. Than I started coaching people to release to find their way to happyness. Through that I worked with people who had panic attacks.

That is really challenging. I recognised that it is helpful for them to step away from reasoning and start caring about their body and wellbeing. Dealing with releasing the tension help them to get away from worrying.

And the body adjust to that. The more often you release tension, the more tension you get rid of. The better their perception become the earlier they get rid of it. In that tension the feelings of panic or anxiety are saved. If you let them go right away they hardly can add up to such an amount you can panic.

You can see that changes in the body and face. You can read or hear it in the words people use. You can see it in their eyes, they get clearer and the colour can change too. It is pretty amazing.

You can prevent such things if you learn to let go of tension as soon as the situation for them is over. You can prevent it by dealing differently with your self. That includes the way of selftalk as well as the nutrition and how you move, think and perceive.

You can read more around that topic and how to empower and enlighten yourself on my blog. I am also writing on some e-books as well.

The insights you give are pretty amazing. The more I read the more I am impressed.
