Gott Nytt År! Nu går jag vidare…

Happy New year! Hope you are making plans to enjoy this year. I also hope that you feel excited and resilient, as you plan your new year’s actions.

I know how frustrating your journey from stuttering to freedom  may seem. You have ups and downs and somtimes you feel you are almost free and sometimes it ambushes you.

In my years of studying this subject and achieving various degrees of fluency, I came to a simple process that needs to be applied over and over, until you are free. It comes to a series of questions.

 1) What feeling (s) do I need to feel freedom, ease  and flow in this situation?

 2) What internal reality (images, sounds, internal dialogue, beliefs, perceptions etc.) will create this feeling?

3) What feeling do I have now?

 4) is it useful?

5) Apply various techniques – direct suggestions, time line work, swishing pictures, reframing etc.- to eliminate or change the feeling that is not helpful or damaging.

6) Build a desired internal state. Apply to a situation.

7) test first in your imagination, then in real life.

8) repeat as many times as needed.

When you start truly seeing how much your speech is state dependent and how much your state is affecting your ability to think, speak and make good decisions, not mentioning your level of enjoyment and your ability to be someone people want to talk to, it will only become a matter of consistently applying the process.

Have the best luck in 2018!

My plans for the New year – I am moving away from working with people who stutter and go back to my old passion – beauty and anti-aging.

If you look at my website now annamargolina.com you will see what i am talking about. So very excited to build a new direction in my life. I will be still commenting here and taking care of maintaining the forum..
