<p><strong>Chris Edgar</strong> presents <a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site/?p=116">Transcending Your Boundaries</a> posted at <a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site">Purpose Power Coaching</a>, saying, &#8220;I believe many of our fears stem from a misperception of ourselves as small and weak.  We see ourselves as too fragile to deal with possible setbacks in our jobs, confrontations in our relationships, and so on.  In my experience, one way to overcome this sense of frailty is to feel, on a physical level, the fact that you are much greater and stronger than you may think you are.  In fact, as the visualization I’ll describe helps you see, in your essence you have no boundaries, and no problem arising in your life can truly harm you.&#8221;</p>

So I spent some time running through the exercise in this article to get motivated to just get the thing done. Well, it worked. It took me just 16 months to complete an entire degree. There is nothing special about me. I just knew of a technique to motivate myself and importantly I made use of it. This exercise helped me put procrastination to bed, get motivated and achieve. It worked for me and it will work for you.&#8221;</p>

<p>Here are my 6 tips on how to stop those sleepless nights</p>
<ol>
<li>Take Charge. Accept what you can&#8217;t change and do what you can. It doesn&#8217;t need to be perfect, just take some<a href="http://www.blisstree.com/widowsquest/wp-admin/upload.php?style=inline&amp;tab=browse-all&amp;post_id=-1187421223&amp;_wpnonce=308b90da73&amp;ID=437&amp;action=view&amp;paged" id="file-link-437" title="claspedhands.JPG" class="file-link image"> 			 </a> action&#8230;you can always amend of neccessary.</li>
<li>Get to the root. Be honest to yourself about what is <em><strong>really</strong></em> causing your worry. Is it being alone &#8211; or is it actually your self confidence? You can then take charge of the <em><strong>actual</strong></em> problem.</li>
<li>Talk to people. A problem shared is a problem halved.</li>
<li>Escape and treat yourself to a meal out, a walk, a book, a film&#8230;just take your mind off the worry, by giving it something else to think about&#8230;</li>
<li>Step back. Sometimes we focus so much on the problem that we don&#8217;t stand back and think really should I be worrying about this&#8230;what would I think if this was someone else&#8217;s problem? Try and look at the problem from someone else&#8217;s point of view, this removes the emotional element.</li>
<li>Be positive. I think if you don&#8217;t know what is the right answer, then just do something&#8230;.and believe in something. Worry and inaction is gauranteed not to solve it, being positive about the solution is half the battle</li>
