Happy New Year my Peaceful Warriors. Becoming the master of your anxiety in 2024 demands some mindful focus on a few key areas. Today I’ll show you what those area are and guide you towards some important moments of clarity on your way to anxiety relief. Enjoy the episode.

Let’s explore the importance of reflection together, urging you to examine the patterns and habits that contribute to feelings of rigidity and anxiety. We’ll embark on a journey to release self-created pressures, such as the desire to fit in, wear a happy face, or meet societal expectations.

Embrace the concept of mistakes as teaching moments, allowing for personal growth and change.

Join me as I paint a vivid picture of breaking free from the limitations of the lower self, illustrating how moments of play and vulnerability can reconnect you with your true self and guide you towards a life less burdened by anxiety.

Together, let’s explore the role of kindness and empathy in replacing the constant craving for external acceptance (these anxiety affirmations will help). I’ll address the pervasive sense of competition and victimhood, offering practical strategies to foster a more positive mindset.

Truly, becoming the master of your anxiety in 2024

Introduce play into your daily life with me to counterbalance the seriousness and rigidity that often accompany anxiety. I’ll suggest simple acts of play, from humming a favorite song to cracking a joke, as effective ways to shift emotional states and bring joy back into your life.

Our journey concludes with a powerful reminder that healing from anxiety involves an energetic shift and mindset change. Join me in exploring surrender sessions on my YouTube channel, embracing uncertainty, and projecting safety around it.

As the new year approaches, I express gratitude for your journey and offer heartfelt encouragement.

Remember, step by step, you are releasing yourself from the clutches of anxiety. The episode closes with a powerful affirmation: “You are more than anxiety.” Don’t forget to get your free masterclass on reframing and responding to anxiety today.

Quotes for Social Media

• “Therefore, we must recognize that the healing comes from this shift in feeling, from this shift in emotional states. This is an energetic way of healing. This is a mindset. We are breaking the habits and patterns that we’ve become so accustomed to.”
• “Then, we must allow kindness and empathy towards others to replace a craving for acceptance. How important is this? Very important. Because anxiety is allowing ourselves to continue to go about our days craving acceptance by people that we know and don’t know.” 
• “And for a moment you feel this freeing sensation, free from all your duties, free from your priorities, free from the stresses of life. And in that very moment, that very moment, you have come back into contact with who you really are. That’s it.”
