End Anxious Thoughts In 4 Easy Steps
After having visited my site I can almost imagine what your repetitive anxious thought might be.
Maybe it’s a fear of:
-a panic attack
-never being free of general anxiety
-a bodily sensation that worries you
-a fear of losing control to anxiety
My name is Barry Joe McDonagh and I have successfully taught thousands of people in over 30 different countries, how to end general anxiety and panic attacks.
Whatever your particular fear is, I want to share some tips and techniques with you over the coming days that will not only help you end these fears but also reduce your general anxiety level dramatically.
After many years of coaching people to be anxiety free, I have noticed that those who experience panic attacks or general anxiety almost always deal with the frequent occurrence of anxious thoughts.
Anxiety has a sneaky way of seeding doubt regardless of whether the fear is rational or irrational.
So what can be done for people who suffer from repetitive anxious thoughts?
To begin, lets look at how an anxious thought is powered and then I will demonstrate how to quickly eliminate the intensity of the thought.
Say for example you are going about your daily business when an anxious thought enters your mind.
Whatever the nature of the thought, the pattern that follows is usually quite predictable.
The anxious thought flashes briefly in your awareness and as it does so you immediately react with fear as you contemplate the thought. The fearful reaction you have to the thought then sends a shock-wave through your nervous system. You feel the result of that fear most intensely in your stomach (due to the amount of nerve endings located there).
Because of the intense bodily reaction to the thought you then get sucked into examining the anxious thought over and over.
The continuous fearful reaction you have to the thought, increases the intensity of the experience. The more you react, the stronger the thought rebounds again in your awareness creating more anxious shock-waves throughout your body. This is the typical cycle of anxious thoughts.
For some it feels like the anxious thoughts are hijacking their peace of mind.
Because of the reaction you are having, you may continue to spend the rest of your day thinking about the anxious thoughts you experienced.
“Why am I thinking these thoughts?” “Why can’t I shake off this eerie feeling?”
The harder you try not to think about it, the more upset you become. It is like telling someone
‘Whatever happens do not think of a pink elephant’.
Naturally enough it’s all they can think about. That’s the way our brains our wired.
So how can you eliminate these unwanted anxious thoughts?
To begin with:
-when you start to experience anxious thoughts, it is very important not to force the thoughts away.
Let the thoughts in. The more comfortable you can become with them, the better. These thoughts will never go away fully but what you can learn is to change your reaction to them.
By changing your reaction to the anxious thoughts you become free of them.
Once you establish a new way of reacting to the thoughts it does not matter if you have them or not. Your reaction is what defines the whole experience (and that applies to almost everything).
Everybody experiences fleeting thoughts that many would consider scary or crazy. The difference between most people and somebody who gets caught up in them, is that the average person sees them for exactly what they are, fleeting anxious thoughts, and casually ignores them.
The anxious person is at a disadvantage as they already have a certain level of anxiety in their system. The thoughts easily spark feelings of further anxiety which builds into a cycle of fear. You break the cycle by changing how you react to the fearful thought.
Here is an example of how to approach this:
You are enjoying the way your day is going but then all of sudden a fearful thought comes to mind.
Before you would react with anxiety to the idea and then try to force that thought out of your mind.
This time, however, say:
“That’s a fear of X. I could worry and even obsess over that but this time I’m going to do something different. I’m not going to react to it. I’m also not going to try and stop it either. I’m just going to label the thought and not react.”
Then the thought comes again with more intensity and possibly with new ‘scary’ angles you never considered. When this happens you do exactly the same. As if you were observing a cloud passing overhead, you simply
-Observe it,
-Label it (fear of whatever), then
-Watch it as it passes by with no judgment.
then
-Move your attention on to what you were doing.
Observe, Label, Watch, Move on
See the anxious thought for what it really is: -one of the thousands of fleeting sane and insane thoughts every one of us experiences daily.
If you are a more indoors type of person then instead of thinking of the thoughts like clouds passing in the sky, you might try imagining a large cinema screen and the anxious thoughts are projected out onto the screen in front of you. Play around with this approach. Find what works for you.
The key thing to remember is to:
Observe, Label, Watch, Move on
By practicing this approach you gradually stop reacting with fear to the thought and you learn to treat it as nothing more than an odd peculiarity.
When you are at a stage where you are comfortable doing the above exercise and you feel you are making good progress, then try this additional step:
Actually invite one of your more regular fearful thoughts in.
Call the fear to you, say you just want it to come close so you can observe it.
It may seem like the last thing you would wish to bring upon yourself, as you don’t particularly enjoy these thoughts but this approach can be very empowering. You are now calling the shots. You actually invited the issue in.
By doing this you are discharging the dense vibration of fear surrounding the anxious thought. That fear was sustaining itself on your resistance, -the idea that you could not handle these thoughts.
The fear quickly evaporates when you turn around and say “yes of course I can handle these thoughts.”
Fear intensifies when we pull away from it. Anxious thoughts become a mental tug of war if we struggle with them.
It is the mental struggle of pulling against the anxious thoughts that creates the inner psychological tension.
The inner tension is fueled by thoughts like:
“I can’t handle to think about this -please go away”
“I don’t like that thought- I want it to stop!”
Take a different stance. Invite anxious thoughts in. Willingly sit with them, label them and do your very best not to react.
Yes, it does take practice but very soon you find yourself in a unique position of control. You are no longer a victim of fearful thinking but a decision maker in what you will or will not be concerned about.
As with every technique there is always a level of practice involved in the beginning. Initially you start observing but then suddenly get anxious about the fearful thought. That’s very normal in the beginning.
Keep at it. Practice and you will quickly see how less impacting those fearful thoughts become.
Do not let your mind trick you into believing that your anxiety is something you will always have to struggle with. That is simply not true.
Not alone is it possible to control the occurrence of anxious thoughts but I can teach you how to end panic attacks and general anxiety if that is your goal.
You can have the life of your dreams. Anxiety does not have the right to steal that hope from you.
I’m going to e-mail you my mini series. It will help reduce anxiety levels significantly.
Some of this information forms a small part of the Panic Away Program. My full program eliminates panic attacks and general anxiety very quickly and has proved highly successful with both long and short term sufferers of anxiety. The results speak for themselves.

…learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years
I must tell you that out of all the items you can purchase regarding anxiety related products on the internet, I learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years that I’ve had this condition.
I had been on Xanax and Klonopin for about 10 years, but this December, I decided to withdraw from it thinking I didn’t need the pills anymore according to some of the programs I ordered claiming “miracle cures”. That’s when all my symptoms started again. I felt as if I had wasted the past 20 years trying to get better.That’s when I started searching the web for home based “cures”. I ordered so many programs I started to get confused from too much conflicting advice. Also, I was promised support but I am still waiting replies from some of the more expensive programs!
You are a true gentleman, and I am going to post a very positive feedback on a website you might be familiar about called: Tapir?
Talk to ya, Andy

…I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS
I RAN ACROSS YOUR PROGRAM SUNDAY, FEB. 5th. I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING EVERYTHING FROM PANIC SUPPORT CLASSES, MEDICATION, COUNSELING AND THE LIST GOES ON, ALL TO RID MYSELF OF PANIC ATTACKS. SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAID, JUST KEEP TRYING, SO I DID. AFTER 5 YEARS OF OF LIVING MY LIFE WITH THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS I AM EXCITED TO SAY THAT I AM NOW PANIC FREE. AFTER ONE TIME OF APPLYING YOUR ONE MOVE TECHNIQUE, I AM A NEW PERSON.
ONE OF MY MANY FEARS THAT I DEVELOPED WAS DRIVING. AFTER READING YOUR PROGRAM AT 12.30 AT NIGHT I WROTE DOWN SOME QUICK NOTES FROM YOUR “ONE MOVE TECH.” I RAN OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DROVE TOWARD THE DARKEST SCARIEST ROAD WHERE NOBODY WAS NEAR BY.
THIS WOULD DEFINITLY BRING ON AN FULL PANIC ATTACK, WHICH IT DID. WHILE LETTING MYSELF FEEL THE EMOTIONS RUN THROUGH ME, I DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO, I WAS SCARED AS HELL BUT STOOD MY GROUND. I INSTANTLY CALMED AND EVEN TRIED TO BRING THE ATTACK BACK ON, BUT COULD NOT. I LITTERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND SAT IN MY TRUCK AMAZED. AFTER ALL THIS TIME THAT WAS ALL I HAD TO DO. THE COMPLETE OPPOSIT OF EVERYTHING THAT I WAS TOLD. THIS WHOLE WEEK I HAVE DRIVEN WHERE EVER I WANTED,AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR PROGRAM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR RESEARCH, TIME, AND DEDICATION SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE US CAN NOW LIVE A NORMAL AND HAPPY LIFE. JACKSON CA, AARON

…I prayed to God to show me what to do
I experienced my first panic attack in July of this year and ended up going to the hospital by ambulance thinking I was having a stroke or heart attack! I have had a bunch of attacks since then. Monday morning I awoke to an immediate attack and prayed to God to show me what to do. To make a long story short, I was led to your website but was afraid it was like the other ones where they try to sell you their products. However, your introductory information really spoke to me and I decided to take a chance. I read your book and it gave me the tools I was searching for to deal with my attacks.
I could tell immediately that you have suffered from panic attacks yourself because you spoke with authority that can only have come from having dealt with the terrors yourself. I am 42 years of age and have been noticing the psychological effects of perimenopause (one of which is panic attacks in my case). Thanks again!!
Sincerely, Cynthia

I’ve just started this course and i’m really looking forward to overcoming this debilitating disorder. So glad i found this. Already feeling better after thinking, “Bring it on!”
cheers!
Thought i was stuck in a rut.
wow -well im 18 ive been having panic attacks since i was 16 when i started getting into a serious with my boyfriend, then when i thought i could never be happier than this, i started having panic attacks about do i love my boyfriend. I felt sick, i cried whenever i was on my own with my sisters or mum. I got all of them to the point of being fed up with me and they just couldnt help me. I get these attacks when i feel at my lowest in self confidence. Two years on and the feeling of splitting up because of a reason that sickens me but i can’t stop thinking about it,was just about to make me lose it all together then i read your website about Panic Attacks and i wanted to laugh with the fact that for 2 years i have felt sick, with thoughts making me think i feel different about my boyfriend, and ive spent 5 minutes reading your tips and solutions and everything seems so clearer as to why i have been worried.
Thank You so much, I’m not saying im fully cured but when i get the thought i will do exactly as you say to do and Observe,Watch,Label and Move On.
Thank You Again
Teresa
I don’t know why but I feel deep inside that after six years of this debilitating disorder your wonderful lectures will help me out .Thank you kindly
Teresa
After reading your first newsletter I have a HOPE – again ,after 6 years of struggle with this debilitating disorder
Thank you kindly
Zhana
Thank you very much! I’ll give it a chance and try this technique. I always knew it’s something deep inside the brain that triggers the anxiety, and the medications only calm you for a while but they don’t cure the anxiety. It’s like if you have an allergy reaction to a certain food, and a doctor gives you an ointment to stop the skin rash, but you continue eating the food that’s causing the reaction – sounds similar to panic attacks and taking medications (they don’t cure the cause, they only calm you for a while, but the problem stays).

I have been struggling with anxiety for three two years. It has taken over me. I started out with major panic attacks, with my husband rushing me to the emergency room because we didn’t know what was wrong. It has turned into general anxiety where I feel like something is always wrong, especially with my health. Even thought I have had many tests run and everything comes back fine, I have this underlying fear that something is wrong. I look forward to this program helping me out!!
jordan
thank you i this has helped alot thinking these forts its better doing it this way (natually) then taking any medication.

Dear Barry,
i had my first attacks when i was about 8 . it was nothing back then but a 10 minutes difficulty in breathing. then it disappeared . after about 6 months of having my second baby , i was about 24 years old when i walk up in the middle of night with a weird nightmare and a severe panick attack. that was the first time to get the feeling that i was “dying” but i didnt have anymore attacks until about 10 stressful years later. it happened after a bad day at work and that was 9 months ago when it became regular . I made lots of internet research till i came through your site and it was the first REAL DEAL i found . i reasoned things about my attacks which eased them so much . it aslo helped me realise that i wasnt dying or anything. it changed my behaviour regarding the attacks and their reality. my deepest thanks to you 🙂
Jamie
I came across this website….and im really glad i did. This technique really makes sense and i have already put it to work. I panic about the fear of going crazy or something bad happening to be like death. Which has been consuming my days for a long time now . Thank you i hope it works…..
elpitha e

Hi Joe, i’ve had an anxiety attack twice, i’ve been on antidepressant for a year and came off because of the side effects, now two days ago i started having chest pains, its like someone’s sitting or standing in my chest. i do NOT want to go back on antidepressant, i saw your website today, really hope you can help me. thanks
John

yared

Kevin
I suspected these were panic attacks for some time but kept saying no, it is just not having confidence or insecurity or being nervous. I loved being in front of people and the centre of attention all my life and always the funny guy doing presentations and even toastmasters/public speaking. When the attacks got more frequest and anxious feelings worse (dry mouth all the time speaking to people, rapid heart beat, sudden blood presure going up, sweats etc…)I tried becoming serious and not being myself to try and get rid of these anxious feelings and attacks. Now I find I fear being in so many situations that I avoid them altogether and even work from home more often then going into the office. I just read your newsletter about identify label, watch, move-on and will try this technique. I don’t know how that will work in a meeting when I have constant waves and have to try and stay focussed.. I will be labelling and watching so many little yellow birds in the tree it will fill every branch… but I will try it …
Debra

Jan
I just came across this website a few days ago. I had my first panic attack 28years ago….right after the birth of my first daughter. I too thought I was going to die. Throughout the years I have suffered from many more, but most came in the first hour of my sleep. Now the last 2 have happened during the day. It is the scariest feeling in the world. I have recieved 3 news letters and cannot believe how they have helped me. At the moment I am taking Ativan, but do not want to be on it for too long. I get alot of relief reading everyone all the comments.
Sarah
I have been having panick attacks for a few days now, so it’s all still very new to me. Reading what you have to say has put my mind at rest knowing i’m not the only one out there who has these. Keep up the good work

I’m Georgia and i feel like my whole world has turned into one great blach whole, I fear that my panic attacks are becoming depression and it scares very much. I started having my first panic attack to weeks ago leading me to the doctor the next day. He prescribed me pills called Deanixt, I don’t know if you know them. I’m afraid that I will become addicted to this pills and that I will slowly driffet away from living. Your mini series gave me hope am till getting into it. I believe God sent you to me and I pray I recover.
Thank you.
Daz
After my fiancé gave birth to our first child I fell into a depression which led to anxiety. I’m normally a very confident and out going person and couldn’t understand what was going on. After reading you advise I have found it very helpful. Thank you

Suzy @ 12.10pm
So glad I found this website, I have been experiencing all sorts of weird sensations over the last 4weeks, I went through a traumatic period where I convinced myself that I was seriously ill, once I got the all clear I immediately went on to think that something else was wrong with me, I have muscle twitching. pins and needles in legs, and face and I am always feeling anxious, as soon as I awake in the morning the feelings just take over – I think I am going out of my mind at times
ross
had my first panic attack a few months ago,and since then have felt as if something else was controlling me. my whole life was full of fear,but just after reading some sample emails ,things look bright again,its so simple and so effective it really does offer hope,thanks Barry!
jason
this is so enpowering . i cant w8 to start the tecniques
Brian
Having come accross your website, and read your newsletter and comments , I will try your suggestions , even though I don`t know how comfortable I am with them, after the Physical,Emotional and Mental turmiol that these anxieities put me through ,I am not comfortable with the idea of willingly experiencing them, but I am tired of what they put me through,and I want to live a normal life, and I want to start enjoying my life again, without fear or anxiety. I will let you know how I get on.
Kevin
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT ! I just read my posting from Nov 6th, just weeks ago and cannot believe that was me. Just shortly after that posting, I read through the first 5 or 6 newsletters and followed your methods. I was scheduled to go on a business trip and meet my new team face to face for the first time and I was so scared and full of fear that I would have panic attacks in these meetings. WOW .. I just got back and it was such an excellent trip. I attended tons of meetings with my team and 1:1 meetings and even 1:1 meetings with executives and meetings with lots of new people and I didn’t have one episode !!! I CAME REALLY CLOSE mind you but managed to send them packing ! I only had one slight episode in a restaurant and I was sitting on the inside of the booth with someone on the outside. I purposely put myself there so that I knew I had no where to go .. but I did have one slight episode but was able to fend it off after a few minutes. The other thing is that for some reason I am dreaming really cool full vibrant yet weird dreams every night now.. as if my brain is rewired or something.. totally cool but I don’t remember dreaming like this in a long time ! THANK YOU SO MUCH for making me believe again. I know I still have a ways to go but at least now I BELIEVE that it can be done !! I have another business trip planned and cannot wait as I am now excited rather than fearful !
margot
i have read your article and i am going to give it a go ive been on antidepressants and beta blockers with no success thank you for hope
Tasha
After reading about your article, i feel a gush of happiness deep down in my heart..knowing that there is actually a cure for anxiety and panic attacks..without the need for any medications.I remember my first panic attack and it was the most frightening moment i can ever recall.That was 8 years ago..and now i have anxiety most of the time.it leads me to have u can call that crazy and fear of somethg..even when i look at a sky thats going to rain..i miss travelling and have not been doing so for the past years that i have been going through all this.And i hate being in the train when its undertunnel and crowds..And sometimes the fears and anxiety makes me feel iiritated or agitated..even with the close ones..i feel trapped.But after stumbling across ur article and reading it, i jus felt a hope of joy and i feel more relaxed and calm.I will definitely try it at the first sight of anxiety..later on..i cant wait to start a new day in life without anxiety and fears interferring in my daily life and do the things i have always wanted to do like travelling..THANK YOU..and i will update you on my first try to overcome with my daily stress..I sincerely hope you will help me to regain my freedom and help me to release me out of this..thank you so much..

I don’t know why but I feel deep inside that after six years of this general anxiety and panic in the public your wonderful lectures will help me out . I lost my courage and selfconfidence and shy away from social stuffs. Thank you kindly
Cathy
If you have panic attacks, you must have this program. I had my first panic attack in July and then several later. The doctors referred me to the cardiologist who tried to convince me something was wrong with my heart even though I told her I know I’m having panic attacks. I was placed on Xanax which worked very well but wondered what would happen if I couldn’t find it when I needed it. With the Panic Away program, you don’t need any medication, just yourself. Trust yourself and Trust God to help you get through. I now call my panic attacks “welcome attacks.” I have not had a full panic attack since I purchased this program. Each time, I feel the panic settling in, I say Welcome! May God Bless Barry Joe McDonagh!
Bre
Hello,
I didnt even know until about a month ago that what these little panic attacks I would have was actually anxiety. I think I’ve always been more of a nervous person ever since I can remeber but in the last two years it has become alot worse. I tend to have them when I feel like im alone, especially when im home alone, almost like separation anxiety but I happens alot more when I feel like im always going to have it. Just by reading this first page I feel so much calmer and now I know that im not the only person who feels like this and now there is maybe a way that I can get over this. Especially since I will be going to college soon and im driving now I want to be able to do them on my own. 🙂
tom
I think that I am actually getting a grip on all of these overwhelming feelings that I ve been strugling with my entire life! I wasted so many years self medicating with alchohol and drugs and made a total mess of my life. you have given me hope.its comforting just knowing that im not alone in this whirlwind. thank you all for sharing your horror and most of all your hope for US! thanks again. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Douglas
Barry you are the man!!! you really know what you are talking about. I really like the way you explain everything it has help me a lot. with Gods help and your help i have manage to somewhat control my panic attacks.
Sandra
Wow.I’m suffering sometimesGeneral Anxiety.This is totally different to pushing or forcing anxious thoughts away.I’m tired of fighting against it,so this system sounds somehow appealing.I only tried it very very briefly ,but I feel an awkward sense of relief!maybe it does work!!
Yuri
a week ago today i had my first anxiety attack while driving on a highway. i honestly thought i was having a heart attack and almost got in an accident due to blurry/ dizziness in my vision, my chest also seized up and felt like it was tightening in the heart area. i had wondered, how could such a thing happen to a 22 yr old? i was very scared, probably the most ive ever been in my life.. it was after going to the hospital that i realized it was only anxiety… my curiousness in this issue had lead me to this website. reading on got me more an more interested, and calmed me down. I am grateful for the mini series you have sent me! i think that with practice and strong positive reinforcement i can eliminate all anxiety, stresses, worries and fears, thanks to your help! Thanks again and I hope everyone can live anxiety free as well!
Emma
hey ive had panic disorder for far to long now, everything u have said is just how i feels an its not nice at all. hopefully this will help me feel less anxious so i can cope with it all better. thank u … emma
maria
thanks very much. by the time i read this article I take the first step and I had possitive attitude about being able to overcome anxiety. it has being in me for ages and i felt like i am a victim of the it.it affects my schooll performasnce and every thing. i hope as i read more of your articles i will overcome the situation dramatically.
thanks very much and you are such a star,
angelina
thank you very much for this information and I honestly believe that this is the only way forward.Think about it, before you suffered from anxiety, you used to think all sorts of thoughts and they wouldn’t bother you, everyone thinks frightening stuff sometimes. It’s when you start monitoring and giving too much importance to thoughts/fears that they become overwhelming and cause further anxiety which in turn keeps you in the cycle-anxiety-anxious thoughts-anxious response…etc..it seems we all know the drill.I think with practice you get into the ‘normal flow’ of thoughts again and this in turn will eliminate anxiety. Also a thought is not a fact—-a fact is a fact…good luck everyone,this will go away in time I know it. Have faith in only yourselves.

Thank you for getting a reasoning model of what should I do whilst in anxiety. Although I was not diagnosed with panic, I suffer from anxiety and fears, morelike in a BPD. But the four steps value gold, even like this. It is as great as simple, in fact, it is us that tend to forget reasoning and leave things to go out of hand, isn’t it? Loosing the clue that we could, with much smaller effort cntrol them, avoid them and annule them, instead of spending much more energy living them. A great lesson and reminder, also…
I will get back with the results after practicing. It is a very beautiful thing you are doing Joe… so thank you again and good luck to all! Hope we keep up reasoning, and fighting for reasoning, learning to.
Fatima
The idea of being anxiety-free is something i’ve always worked on. I always thought that waiting for this feeling to disappear was something possible, unfortunately, it grows through time. I’m sure The technique provided in this helpful link will have positive outcomes, but i definitely need to practice more.
Thank you for your tips and techniques..

I feel better already just reading your first news letter! I had my first panic attack in May of 2009, but the anxiety went away in a week. I had my second panic attack in Novemeber but the anxiety went away in a week too. I started getting anxiety again this last week and it was bad. But now reading this I know I can get rid of it for good! I never thought about allowing the fear to enter your thoughts! I will definitely try this method! 🙂

Just reading your frist article has helped me a little too. I just recently had my frist panic attack out of nowhere. I got so scared I had to go to the hopsital and even that didn’t calm me down completely. They told me to take this drug called attivan when I felt the symptoms come back. I was fearing I would be addicted to the stuff and never be able to live like I did just three short days ago…three days ago..I was fine. I had never had a panic attack and I was fine. After having one, I am deff just making it worse by being scared they’ll come back. Reading your first article here has made me hopeful that I can cut this off before it gets too ingrained in my core. Makes me think I’m strong enough to handle this by myself…seriously …thank you.
