Di cosa abbiamo paura? Alcune riflessioni sulla paura e sull’ansia.

In today's post, I want to share some thoughts that are contained in my third book titled "A Cure for Anxiety."

“A cure for anxiety. How to get rid of anxiety and start living peacefully?” (this is the title of my 3rd book)

I am currently writing my third book. Today I will share excerpts from it (the book isn't finished yet).

Three types of emotional regulation systems (according to Gilbert and Choden, 2019)

"Recent neuroscience research indicates that there are at least three types of emotional regulation systems (areas of the brain that work together to control and maintain our emotions). These systems help us to achieve our basic goals in life.

Some excerpts from my book “Dare to Create the Life You Want”

I believe that personal development is very important as it allows for a more interesting, fuller and happier life. Personal growth gives satisfaction. Just as a tree keeps growing, you can keep growing. By developing you will realise your dreams, you will create action plans, revise those plans if necessary, evaluate your development, you will reflect on which areas of growth you care most about.

Why should you read Mary Welford’s book ‘The Compassionate Mind Approach to Building Self-Confidence’?

"We live in a world that constantly urges us to judge, classify and evaluate ourselves. We get messages from everywhere that we may not be good enough." In my opinion, the modern world wants to make us believe that only achievements, titles, certificates, exams, careers, big money, etc. count. We often succumb to this world and its delusions.

Solve people’s problems – this could be your way to success.

People have all sorts of problems. One way to make money is to help people solve them. You can give people what they need. For example, you can create an innovative course to learn a foreign language, you can write a novel that interests them. What I'm writing now is not just about problems, it's about human needs.

Take matters into your own hands, be proactive!

What your current life looks like depends mainly on you. External factors can be (and often are) beyond your control, but you should take responsibility for your life, for what it looks like.

The Fearful Future? (comments on the book “Mindfulness Plain and Simple. A Practical Guide to Inner Peace” by Oli Doyle).

"Fear of the future is seen as normal and natural part of being human, but if we pay close attention, we can see some scary, painful thoughts at the root of that fear. Without these stories, there is no fear, but if you believe those stories, you will scare yourself stiff!"

A few thoughts related to a quote from Brian Tracy’s book ‘The Power of Self Confidence’.

"It's not that people don't know what to do; they are usually just afraid to do what their heart tells them to do. However, by building courage within yourself, step by step, you will gradually overcome your fears. With courage, you will open up to the whole world. Your self-confidence will grow. You will reach a point where there are no longer any limits to what you are trying to achieve and what you are involved in."

“Achieving personal greatness” (Brian Tracy) and co-operating with God’s grace.

Today I will address two topics: achieving personal greatness and working with God's grace to achieve spectacular goals. We were created for great things, yet many of us, over time, lock ourselves into our so-called comfort zone and accept life as it is, no longer dreaming of growing and achieving something great for ourselves and the world around us.
