If you are suffering from GAD, general anxiety disorder, you probably want to know just what it is. If you are persistently, excessively and unrealistically worrying about things you probably have a case of this. Even those things that don′t truly affect you are causing you stress then you need to consider the possibility of GAD.

Money is a primary source of worry. Health comes in there too, am I sick? Work, oh my gosh, you worry about your job even when things are going well. Charities sometimes cause worry, do you give to this one or not? How much? You heard about someone you know that is sick so you spend time worrying about them. If this sounds like you then you may suffer from GAD.

You aren′t alone in this. There are 6.8 million adults in the United States (3.1%) suffering from this on any given year. Gradual progression is typical and usually comes on from childhood to middle age. Although the exact cause is not known there is evidence showing the biological factors, life experiences, particularly stressful situations, and family background are all part of what is believed to be factors.

General Anxiety Disorder is treatable. You may need to see a physician for medication but there are other avenues to follow too. Try meditation, yoga, exercise; work on relaxation techniques that will help you level out your stress level. Get your mind around them and they will help a great deal.

Often times you know that going to a certain place, being with certain people or watching a program that will cause you stress. The answer to this is to avoid them. Find something you want to do more that will make you laugh. Yes, laugh. Laugh long and loud. It will relieve the stress and feel so much better. Healthy thing to do laugh.

Are you tired? Then go to bed. How simple is that? Maybe the rest of your family or friends don′t need as much rest on a given day as you do, but if you are tired and you know that when your head hits the pillow you will be asleep, then go to bed. That’s not difficult, it’s common sense. You will wake up the next day more refreshed and ready to take on the day without worrying nearly as much.

There are signs that show general anxiety disorder symptoms that you can pay attention to and act on. Here is a list of some of them, the most common. 1. Excessive worry, occurring more days than not for at least 6 months. 2. Unreasonable worry about nearly everything. 3. Your inability to control worry 4. Restlessness, feeling keyed up or on edge often. 5. Being easily tired for no apparent reason. 6. Having problems concentrating. 7. Irritability? 8. Muscle tension. 9. Is your anxiety interfering with your daily life?

Are you strange? Is it something you can do something about? Of course you aren′t strange, you are one of millions. Can you do something about it, of course, but you must take action. Start today and feel more in control tomorrow.

What Is My Motivation For Working Online?

I was really mulling over my thoughts today.

“What drove me to work online?”

How did I come to the decision that I was going to do this?

What took me from making 6k plus a month as a fitness trainer, and a single father, to deciding that I was going to make it on the internet?

What was that motivation for working online…it must have been lunacy.

Absolutely.

Actually, I decided that I was tired.

I grew sick of not being able to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time.

I grew tired of the training sessions at dawn that, while enjoyable because I was so selective with who I trained, killed any chance of me having energy to work on myself later.

I could never train in the sport that I was so passionate about and focused on pursuing because it was always time or money.

Never quite enough of either.

I had to sleep in my car.

I was forced to spend more time at the gym due to my stretched schedule than at home.

I would jokingly be called a gym rat, and it stung badly, because I felt like a slave.

When I could see my son, I was miserable. I loved being with him, but the fact that he had already taken his first steps without me, and cried for his mother when he was cranky broke my heart.

Enough was enough.

I let my clients know I only had a few weeks left to train them.

Whatever happened was going to happen. But I was going to see my son grow up whether I made a fortune online, or worked at McDonald’s.

I didn’t care.

Everyone thought I was out of my mind, and I knew how little they believed in me, but that’s what people do.

I didn’t expect any less from them.

Thankfully, I’ve always believed in myself when nobody else had, so I kept pushing.

From a young age as a little chubby kid, I learned that listening the bullies doesn’t help you any. It just makes you want to eat more pie.

I listened to the rare individual that encouraged me, however. One of those people happened to be a guy that started off by selling hosting in his apartment, and turned it into a million dollar a year business. He was proof enough that this was possible.

Yeah, I had less energy for that first month.

It was difficult.

And, I had to see my son less.

After that first sale though, that first day, I realized that this was real.

I got past the biggest obstacle of any real business online.

My way of thinking.

Making money was now a tangible thing. I had something I could spend.

It was real, and I knew I was doing what I was supposed to do.

Now, it’s two years later, and I’m making a few years worth of salary and sleeping in as long as I want.

I still work just as hard as ever, but only after a night’s sleep, and only because I want to.

So, in conclusion, what’s my motivation for working online?

My motivation for working online is me, as it should be for all of us.

Nothing external caused me to make the decision that I was fed up.

Nothing was different. Things were as boring and exhausting as ever.

What changed were my self beliefs.

I thought about how many people told me I couldn’t, and decided to tell them otherwise.

I was the designer of my own destiny, and I’d win or lose on my terms.

Surprisingly, I proved them wrong on their terms as well.

Check out a book titled “The New Psycho-Cybernetics.”

I have both the book and the DVD set, but it doesn’t matter which you pick up. Hell, get them both if you want.

I’ve read everything out there, and this book managed to open my eyes even further. Something about the way it’s written maybe? I don’t know, but it’s amazing.

If you don’t get it, take what you will from my example, and always believe in your own abilities, especially when no one else does.

You’re the only thing you’re sure of anyway.

So, until next time, keep the pie off your face.
