We all get anxious in certain social situations -- a business luncheon, a job interview, a first date, all of these can put butterflies in your stomach and cause your mind to have the jitters.

But for people with social anxiety disorder those jitters turn into all-out fear, anxiety and extreme self-consciousness. Simply going to the grocery store or out for dinner with friends becomes a scary situation in which you fear others are judging you or watching you, or that you may humiliate yourself.

Those with the disorder may go to great lengths to avoid social situations of all kinds, and in so doing miss out on many opportunities, and may even have a hard time getting through their daily routine.

Financial concerns are a leading cause of stress in people of all nations nowadays. 2009 was financially challenging for many.

What about 2010?

Did you know that half of all workers have money problems, and that these problems are taking a toll on our health?

Financial stress affects your health, which leads to more stress and LESS money and bad performance.

We feel stress when we have no control over the situation.

Are you in control over your financial situation or financial future? Or you just add more stress ruminating and thinking?

What you can do to improve your financial situation and decrease the financial stress you feel and be more in control?

“Remember that whether or not we appear to be in control, we are never really sure,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and director of training of Sedona Training Associates. “We can either resist this, fight with it or simply allow what is to be. The more we allow what is to be the easier it is to let go of the feelings that are causing us to feel out of control.”

Any time you begin to feel that you are not in control, Dwoskin suggests the following:

“In this moment could you simply welcome any feeling of being out of control and then let it go as best you can? The more you let go of that feeling of being out of control, the more you find that you feel in control and you act much more appropriately and feel more in control no matter the outcome.”

Letting go of these negative feelings will help you to cope with the situations you once found unbearable, reducing your stress levels and increasing your happiness in all areas of life.

Why do I recommend The Sedona method for financial stress relief ?

First of all because stress destroys your health and life. You need to do something on a spot, without delay. And this is what this method does - give you the powerful tool to eliminate stress.

"The Sedona Method actually helps you to let go of the actual stressful reactions within your system," Dwoskin says. "It also shows you how to let go of the inner motivators that cause stress in the first place. As you use The Sedona Method , the same situations that are now causing you a lot of stress will become less stressful … If you use the Method enough, you can even get to the place where they no longer produce stress at all."

Make yourself comfortable and focus inwardly. Your eyes may be open or closed.

Step 1: Focus on an issue that you would like to feel better about, and then allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling in this moment. This doesn’t have to be a strong feeling. In fact, you can even check on how you feel about this exercise and what you want to get from it. Just welcome the feeling and allow it to be as fully or as best you can.

This instruction may seem simplistic, but it needs to be. Most of us live in our thoughts, pictures, and stories about the past and the future, rather than being aware of how we actually feel in this moment. The only time that we can actually do anything about the way we feel (and, for that matter, about our businesses or our lives) is NOW. You don’t need to wait for a feeling to be strong before letting go. In fact, if you are feeling numb, flat, blank, cut off, or empty inside, those are feelings that can be let go of just as easily as the more recognizable ones. Simply do the best you can. The more you work with this process, the easier it will be for you to identify what you are feeling.

Step 2: Ask yourself one of the following three questions:

• Could I let this feeling go?
  Could I allow this feeling to be here?
  Could I welcome this feeling?

These questions are merely asking you if it is possible to take this action. “Yes” or “no” are both acceptable answers. You will often let go even if you say “no.” As best you can, answer the question that you choose with a minimum of thought, staying away from second-guessing yourself or getting into an internal debate about the merits of that action or its consequences.

All the questions used in this process are deliberately simple. They are not important in and of themselves but are designed to point you to the experience of letting go, to the experience of stopping holding on. Go on to Step 3 no matter how you answered the first question.

Step 3: No matter which question you started with, ask yourself this simple question: Would I? In other words: Am I willing to let go?

Again, stay away from debate as best you can. Also remember that you are always doing this process for yourself—for the purpose of gaining your own freedom and clarity. It doesn’t matter whether the feeling is justified, long-standing, or right.

If the answer is “no,” or if you are not sure, ask yourself: “Would I rather have this feeling, or would I rather be free?”

Even if the answer is still “no,” go on to Step 4.

Step 4: Ask yourself this simpler question: When?

This is an invitation to just let it go NOW. You may find yourself easily letting go. Remember that letting go is a decision you can make any time you choose.

Step 5: Repeat the preceding four steps as often as needed until you feel free of that particular feeling.

You will probably find yourself letting go a little more on each step of the process. The results at first may be quite subtle. Very quickly, if you are persistent, the results will get more and more noticeable. You may find that you have layers of feelings about a particular topic. However, what you let go of is gone for good.

The Sedona Method is simple to use. In our highly complex world, you will find it is a huge relief to work with a technique that is elegantly simple. In fact, one of the reasons we have20 CDs in our audio program, and our seminars take a whole weekend, is that it often takes a few days for your mind to accept that true relief from even your most difficult problems can be this simple to achieve.

It works in the moment. Most emotionally based techniques require you to discover why you feel the way you do before allowing yourself to let go. With The Sedona Method, you go right to the point of letting go each time and if insights are required they occur naturally after you are free from the pain. This allows you to let go moment to moment through your day when you need the relief the most.

There is no need to dwell on the past. With The Sedona Method, there is no need to go back into your past and re-experience painful experiences, journal about them, discuss them, often at length, and generally spend a lot of time wanting to figure the problem out. You simply learn the power of how to let gotowards self-improvement.

The results are lasting and accumulate over time . Most self-improvement techniques and seminars produce decreasing results over time. The scientifically proven Sedona Method has the opposite effect. In a six-month study conducted by Mutual of New York with their field underwriters, the group that learned The Sedona Method outperformed a control group by 33 percent. The study was divided into two three-month segments, and the results from the second three months of the study were better than the first. The results increased over time.

It is universally applicable. Most self- improvement techniques only focus on a single problem, where The Sedona Method shows participants how to let go of any problem.
