JITTERINESS
Jitteriness is just low level adrenaline
It is perfectly common and can not do you any harm
let go towards it
See what happens when you try to INCREASE it
don’t try to stop being jittery – that keeps it going
Your fear of the feeling keeps it alive
and even THAT is ok – you are in no danger
even if it lasts all day it cant do you any harm
it will just feel annoying and unpleasant
you worry that it will lead to panic – that’s ok – let it
Panic cant do you nay harm – it is just adrenaline – fight or flight – so
what
so let the jitteriness be as it is – you dont have to get rid of it
let it be in the background
stop giving it all your attention
stop trying to get rid of it
stop checking to see if it has gone
its just a very common part of anxiety – lots of people experience it –
its normal
Its not very nice and it is very tiring but it will pass
feel your feet on the floor
drop your shoulders
let go of your stomach – feel your breath come and go – gently
no need to fight the feelings – let go TOWARDS them
Feel MORE jittery – see if you can increase it in your mind – see
what happens
your body is not malfunctioning in any way
it is a simple cycle
you have felt anxious and your fear of that has caused more fight or
flight because your body thinks there may be danger
But there is no danger – give the body signals that all is well
let go – relax towards it – smile – don’t fight – ALLOW it all to be as it
is – it’s ok – no problem
tell yourself that if it lasts all day, even all week thats ok – so what
it will pass eventually whenever – it doesnt matter
get on with your day – practice acceptance rather than resistancego
limp – smile – laugh at it
