Anxiety Acceptance
Anxiety Acceptance
Acceptance and anxieties of ACT! Help!?
About to enter my senior year of high school. 3.9 GPA and I'm taking AP classes and rigorous academic courses. Also participate in things like the National Honor Society, band / brass band, was formally co-captain of the dance team university and I am treasurer for two consecutive years the number of school Club-but - I freak out on standardized tests and have only managed a 23 on the ACT after two attempts! I'm not looking for me to accept at Harvard University, or anything, but I'm going crazy for being accepted into my school of choice and scholarships. Should I go back to take the ACT? Does anyone have any suggestions for me or my anxiety?
My friend was exactly the same way! He had a 4.2 GPA [[took many honors and AP courses]] that was in all sorts of honors program and graduated with honors Magma - but could not get above 24 on the ACT. She is still in college of his dreams and received all kinds of scholarships. His GPA is high enough and the council for admission to the university meets its kind. You're not the first person who struggle with standardized tests. They know they are bright, dedicated and studious. That's what your GPA says about you. You should not have any problem of entering the college of their choice. Some people do better on standardized tests than others. People learn differently and test differently read questions differently. Everyone has anxiety as a senior. It is the beginning of an end. Take it from a senior year, everything works fine. It is the year best deal of his career in high school. Have a great year, stay focused and avoid senioritis! <3

Using the Law of Attraction to Overcome Anxiety
It's no big secret that I'm very much a "power of positive thinking" kind of guy. But beyond that, I'm a believer in a life philosophy that is commonly known as "The Law of Attraction."
The Law of Attraction has become a buzzword in business and personal development over the last few years, and there many different interpretations of this principle, ranging from the very sensible, to the more radical, "out there" ideas of some new age "gurus."
Personally, I was first introduced to this approach by the writings of world-famous psychologist Albert Ellis who never actually used the term "Law of Attraction," but was in fact describing the same phenomena.
Ellis shook the psychological world on its head by proclaiming "You are what you think about." His work has been nothing short of groundbreaking; one recent survey by the APA (American Psychological Association) showed Ellis to be the second-most influential psychologist of all time (ahead of even Freud!, and second only by humanist pioneer Carl Rogers).
So my belief in attraction is based more on the clinical and observable than wild-eyed conjecture, and the more I have studied this philosophy, the more my life has improved--every area of my life, including my former anxiety problem.
So what is the Law of Attraction? At its core, it is based on the scientific principle that "like molecules tend to attract," or more simply "like attracts like." This is not conjecture; scientists have understood this basic principle of nature for ages.
But the Law of Attraction takes this one step further: to the level of thought. In other words, your thoughts attract or repel just as molecules do; you have literally attracted everything that is in your life to you based on your habitual way of thinking. Or as Albert Ellis described it, "You become what you think about."
Right about now, you might be thinking, "wait a minute Jon; are you telling me I attracted my anxiety and/or panic attacks into my life?"
The short answer is, yes. Your habitual way of thinking has attracted anxiety and panic into your life. And when you change your habitual way of thinking, you will change what you are attracting--including the anxiety.
Now some people are very uncomfortable with this thought. It places the responsibility squarely on the individual, and many people would rather not accept this responsibility. It's easier in some ways to assume the cause of our difficulties is outside of us, not based on what we are doing (and thinking). But in the end, this "victim" approach is unsatisfying.
Without accepting your role in creating the anxiety, you will never overcome it. Step #1 is always accepting that YOU are responsible for the anxiety--every bit of it. There can be no further progress until this concept is both understood and accepted.
Step #2 is learning to attract peace of mind into your life and to stop focusing on things that cause anxiety, or in fact, anything related to anxiety. This is achieved by becoming aware of what you give your attention to in your day-to-day life. I call this "being an effective gatekeeper of your mind."
What it all comes down to is this: you can't attract peace of mind and happiness into your life by focusing on anxiety and problems. It just doesn't work that way. You must learn to focus your attention exclusively on good things in order to attract good things. And this is not nearly as difficult as you might think.
Once you become aware of what is "on your radar" on a daily basis, it gets easier and easier to shift your attention to other things that feel better, and produce better results.
Remember it's all about what you are consistently giving your attention to. You really do "become what you think about," so stop giving your attention to things you don't want in your life.
