1:17

podcast and your path

1:19

to liberation starts now.

1:28

Welcome to another episode of the

1:30

Anxiety Guy podcast, my friends. I'm

1:32

Dennis Simsek and this episode is

1:34

brought to you by the

1:36

powerful Inner Circle program, a 16-week

1:38

deep dive

1:41

into the root causes

1:43

of your anxiety, clearing

1:45

subconscious blocks at theanxietyguy.com

1:48

under Inner Circle. And

1:51

today it's not about

1:54

teaching you something, but it's a lot more

1:58

personal in this

2:00

episode. There's a lot

2:02

of people out there right now

2:04

that are just so confused and

2:06

bewildered and doing all they can

2:09

to reverse their

2:11

current state. And

2:14

it seems like the more they

2:16

try to reverse their state, the

2:19

deeper they get into it. And

2:23

underlying all of this is

2:26

a mindset that needs to be

2:28

tweaked. What

2:30

I mean is that we

2:32

mustn't allow ourselves, we

2:34

mustn't allow our mind and

2:37

our actions to

2:39

lead us in a direction of

2:42

dissatisfaction because something didn't work

2:44

or isn't working as

2:47

well as we'd like it to. This

2:50

journey is potentially

2:52

long and arduous. During

2:56

this journey, that's, yes

2:59

we call anxiety, but

3:01

to a very large extent has

3:03

everything to do with a dysregulated

3:06

nervous system, this journey

3:08

to regulating the nervous

3:11

system takes

3:14

mental awareness. It

3:17

takes physical

3:19

patience, compassion.

3:23

It takes a willingness to

3:25

put this, this shift,

3:28

this transition as

3:30

your priority number one. And

3:36

we need to start listening more

3:38

so than allowing

3:41

the mental side to take the

3:43

reins. What I mean by

3:45

that is we must listen to

3:48

our bodies. What is

3:50

our bodies telling us? What

3:54

is this incessant mental chatter

3:56

telling us? Well,

3:58

it's telling us. That we've

4:01

been living life, not

4:04

correctly. We've

4:06

been pushing, we've been striving,

4:09

we've been looking to problem solve,

4:11

we've been fighting. And

4:14

we've passed our threshold, and here

4:16

we are, years later. The

4:21

body would knock on the door

4:23

of our conscious minds years ago,

4:25

but we didn't really listen because

4:28

the physical sensations, the mental

4:30

stuff, it wasn't really

4:33

that pervasive. And

4:36

now it seems like

4:38

the mind and body are

4:41

banging the door down so that

4:43

we get the message. We've

4:47

been disconnected, disconnected

4:50

from the natural flow of

4:52

things. And

4:55

as we gradually, there's

4:57

that key word, gradually come

5:00

back to a pace,

5:03

a pace in life that

5:07

allows our nervous system to find

5:09

balance once again. We're

5:11

going to find that things do

5:13

improve. But

5:16

we don't have control over the results. We

5:19

do have control over

5:21

which habits we replace. And

5:25

so, yes, there

5:27

may be meditation going on in your life

5:29

right now. But

5:32

my question to you is

5:34

who's the one meditating? If

5:38

it's the unconscious mind or the lower

5:40

self that's meditating, you're

5:42

meditating for a specific result. And

5:46

if you don't get that result, you

5:48

don't believe in meditation anymore. Who's

5:52

the one eating? Are

5:54

you eating so that you

5:58

can hopefully gather? the

6:01

nutrition from that meal and

6:03

it can contribute positively to your

6:06

anxiety and dysregulated nervous system. If

6:09

you're hoping for that kind of

6:11

a shift while you're eating then

6:13

your lower self or unconscious mind is the

6:16

one that's eating, not your

6:18

true self, not your higher

6:20

self. Because your true self

6:22

knows that the most

6:24

important thing that has to

6:26

happen in order for this

6:28

nervous system to regulate itself

6:32

is to build better relationships with

6:35

what it is you're doing, what it

6:37

is you're eating, who you're with,

6:40

and who you're sending new signals

6:42

to within you. This

6:46

is about compassion, it's about

6:49

patience, and it's

6:51

about putting your ego aside.

6:53

It's not about getting anywhere, it's

6:56

about learning along the way. It's

6:59

about understanding intuitively more so

7:03

as the journey unfolds. So

7:06

right now you may

7:08

be going through a difficult time. However,

7:12

I want you

7:14

to check in to see what

7:17

the biggest reason is for

7:19

why you're going through such difficulty.

7:23

You are one shift in mindset

7:25

away from getting back on

7:28

track. This

7:30

isn't a race but you're

7:32

treating it so. You're

7:34

trying to win the race but

7:37

that's again coming from the

7:40

ego consciousness or the lower self. There

7:43

is no race and there

7:45

is nothing to win here. And

7:48

as you begin turning franticness

7:51

into gratitude, thank

7:54

you for this meal, thank you

7:56

for the shower, and allow

7:58

yourself to Let

8:00

go. Laugh even

8:03

at some of your fears. As

8:05

you bring humor to the picture, as

8:07

lightness begins to

8:09

replace irrational fear, you're

8:11

going to find that you're back on track. And

8:15

it doesn't have to be celebrated. You

8:17

don't have to celebrate being back on track,

8:20

being in line

8:23

with the natural flow of things. No,

8:26

there's no need for that. You're

8:29

basically coming back to who you truly are.

8:32

And you can allow things

8:35

to unfold, whether good or

8:38

bad, because it's all life.

8:42

We've been where you are, and

8:44

you will get through this, I promise.

8:48

I love you from the bottom of my heart, and

8:51

I hope this short message spoke to you today,
