Just Erase It . . . a spiritual approach to managing anxiety
Miriam Carney, R.N., B.A. Sociology
I am glad you have found my web site. I believe my simple approach can help countless people. My method is simple and it is also a spiritual approach to managing anxiety. I have been a Registered Nurse for over twenty years (24 years to be more exact!). I have worked in hospitals, flu clinics, home health agencies . . . and, I also owned an angel shop in South Daytona and Mount Dora, Florida called Angels Amongst Us. I am the mother of four daughters, three out on their own and one still at home (16 1/2 years old at the time of this writing). I also have seven grandchildren. I left my home in Florida to be closer to one of my older daughters in the St. Louis area, so I am also a vacation rental owner (web site www.justgottagetawaytoFlorida.com) I also currently work as a Registered Nurse at a 600 bed hospital in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Lord knows, I have a lot to keep me busy at 56 years old.
I wrote Just Erase It while living in Florida. I have now spent three winters in the Midwest and I have gained a heightened appreciation of Florida weather. In Illinois, I save a lot of money by not going shopping, as all I have to do is to stick my head outdoors in the winter months. When the blast of cold air hits my face, I make a quick decision that there is nothing I need THAT bad at Target (and I do love shopping at Target, by the way). The day I began writing Just Erase It, the sun was shining. It was a typical, beautiful, sunny day in Florida. But yet, there was this nagging feeling inside . . . something that I couldn't quite point out. I was not at ease . . . I felt anxious. What could I possibly be anxious about? Relaxing by the poolside? Having a day off from work? Looking at a clear blue sky, with white puffy clouds and a lot of sunshine? It was then that I had a spiritual epiphany! God showed me WHAT was wrong and HOW to fix it! I was experiencing anxiety. He showed me His plan to help me manage my anxious feelings.
I have been a Christian all of my life. I had attended and been a member of all denominations: Roman Catholic, Pentecostal, Episcopal, United Church of Christ, Methodist and sometimes a "non-denominational" type church. God has been so good to me. A nurse at the hospital where I am employed, always says, "God is good. All the time." She went by the name of "Sister," as she had been a nurse/nun during her lifetime.
I hope I am able to help people with Just Erase It. I know my method works because I have shared it with family and friends. I always use it when I experience anxiety. Different things work for different people. I am not telling people who are on anti-anxiety drugs to dump their drugs in the toilet. I am telling people to try to take responsibility for their feelings. Practice the Just Erase It model. See how it works for you. I know it works for me. Please write me with any questions or comments at miriam@justeraseit.com If you try my method and you see results, please email that wonderful information! Thanks. Miriam
