Interestingly, often it is not the challenges we know about in regards to breaking free from anxiety that hold us back, it’s the ones we don’t know about. These strong core beliefs held within your lower self (subconscious mind) will fight to keep things as they are. That means, a life of fear and negative emotions states. Today on the anxiety guy podcast we reveal the truth behind this anxiety pattern. Enjoy below!

In this episode, we explore the biggest obstacle in healing from anxiety: our resistance to shedding old values and identities. Anxiety is a complex issue with mental, emotional, behavioral, verbal, and imaginative components. But the most challenging part of healing anxiety is our struggle to release the anxious behaviors and beliefs that have kept us captive.

The heart of the issue lies in the value we attach to our anxious patterns, such as chronic worry.

We often see these patterns as an unchangeable part of ourselves. But true healing begins when we realize these patterns hold no real value in our lives.

Reflection is key to this process, providing the opportunity to identify and replace anxious behaviors with healthier alternatives. By reducing the importance we’ve placed on these patterns, we can pave the way for healing anxiety for good.

Worry, for example, drains our energy without delivering answers.

Shifting our perspective on these behaviors can help us break free and embark on a journey towards a life less constrained by anxiety. Also, if you’re experiencing anxiety burnout, adrenal fatigue and nervous system dysregulation this video is a must.

Remember, everyone’s anxiety journey is unique. By letting go of old values tied to anxious patterns, we can take the first steps towards a life free from anxiety’s grip. You are more than your anxiety, and this episode can be a beacon of hope. Share it with others who may find it helpful on their own healing journey.

Anxiety Guy Podcast Quotes 

• “Reflection on all these patterns that are causing anxiety that you could replace right now.  You have the opportunity to replace these anxious behaviors if only you can be aware of them for long enough.” 
• “None whatsoever,  but we think it does.  We think that the more we worry,  the more we try to mentally figure something out,  the closer we’ll get to the answer.  Not really.  The truth is,  the closer we get to more questions,  right? And things become more confusing.”
• “However,  anxious behaviors don’t hold any value anymore.  Worry,  no value anymore.  Checking your body constantly to see if the anxiety symptom is there and to what degree and whether you’re safe holds no value anymore.”
