Program that you can find

0:09

a 12-week journey with me by

0:11

your side to healing health anxiety

0:14

for good at theanxietyguy.com.

0:19

This is Dennis from theanxietyguy.com and

0:21

you're listening to the

0:23

Anxiety Guy Podcast. Are

0:25

you ready? Let's become more

0:28

than anxiety together. Right

0:32

now, let's go. I

0:35

am your host Dennis Simsek and

0:37

today we are discussing that one

0:39

tip that I got, that one

0:42

thing that I implemented that helped

0:44

me so, so much in my

0:46

healing journey over health anxiety. Before

0:49

I get into it, head

0:52

on over to theanxietyguy.com, learn

0:54

more about my blogs, my

0:56

programs, previous podcast episodes, all

0:59

at theanxietyguy.com. And

1:03

when it comes to health anxiety warriors, I

1:05

want you to know a couple things. First

1:09

of all, this is very

1:11

much habitual, very

1:13

much habitual. You've

1:16

created this form of thinking,

1:18

you've created this way of

1:20

interpreting things, you've created a

1:23

deep sensitivity to your bodily

1:25

symptoms, your thoughts, the

1:28

feelings, everything. Understand

1:31

that for every

1:34

habit that you have created, you

1:36

can unlearn and you can learn new ones.

1:40

So I want you to know

1:42

first and foremost that healing is

1:44

very much possible. No

1:47

matter how long you've suffered, no

1:50

matter how severe it is at this moment, I've

1:53

been in that very dark place and

1:55

so has many other people

1:58

that have become anxiety-induced. The success

2:00

stories before you. Know

2:04

it's understand. That.

2:06

With health anxiety, our

2:08

goal is boredom and

2:10

disinterest when it comes

2:12

to those ideas that

2:14

are connected to catastrophic

2:16

interpretations of our symptoms.

2:19

When we can get to a place. Where.

2:22

We are bored. Bored of

2:25

the same ideas that are floating

2:27

around that we grab a hold

2:29

of and become hours when we're

2:32

disinterested by the same ideas, as

2:34

we look at our past actions

2:37

and recognize how much time we've

2:39

wasted on these thoughts. Now we're

2:41

moving in the right direction. And

2:44

this tip that was given to

2:46

me this exercise. Very

2:49

much create an environment

2:51

where someone with health

2:54

anxiety ten experience boredom

2:56

and disinterest. These.

2:58

Are our goals? And.

3:01

Detachment. From

3:03

these ideas that we believe

3:06

are creating a safe place

3:08

for us. The. More I

3:10

worry. The. More familiar this

3:13

thing is, I know what to

3:15

expect tomorrow. I know that there's

3:17

a better chance of me living

3:20

if I worry. Rather, Than

3:22

giving up that worried and succumbing

3:24

to something that night. I mean,

3:26

the but. This

3:29

is the misinterpretation of living

3:31

with health anxiety. So we

3:33

get to a together of

3:35

detachment from these ideas and

3:37

we begin meeting our goals

3:39

of boredom and disinterest. Now

3:42

understand that with this tip. We.

3:45

Have to practice. Because

3:47

practicing provides new interpretations to

3:50

that inner child that is

3:52

with the new that is

3:55

still very much sensitized to

3:57

this world. We. Have

3:59

to. Practice. We have to do

4:01

these types of things each and

4:04

every day for us to get

4:06

to a place where we can

4:08

understand that we are someone else.

4:10

We are not who we think

4:13

we are, We are not suffers,

4:16

We. Are not strugglers. We

4:18

are not fighters. We.

4:20

Are understanding. We are compassionate.

4:22

We are transitioning. We're transitioning

4:25

into some one brand new

4:27

who begins to view their

4:29

symptoms in a way where

4:31

it's more of a message

4:33

rather than the threat. That's.

4:36

The key to notice that

4:38

the symptoms are messages of

4:40

past experiences, current things that

4:42

you may be missing out

4:45

on. But. They are not

4:47

threats. They. Are not physical.

4:50

So let's understand what this

4:52

tip is and I want

4:54

to start doing this today.

4:57

It's called mindless Meditation. Mindless

4:59

meditation takes you from a

5:02

place of attaching yourself to

5:04

all those negative and limiting

5:06

ideas to detach in yourself.

5:10

I was told to do this

5:12

ten minutes each and every day

5:14

and the whole practice is getting

5:17

into a. Sitting. State

5:19

laying down, state and a place

5:21

where you can be disturbed. And

5:25

simply. Being. Mindless.

5:29

Practicing. The. Ability

5:32

to detach from

5:34

all thoughts. So.

5:38

Each and every day for

5:40

a ten minute period practicing

5:43

mindless meditation. Taking

5:45

time for you and giving

5:48

yourself for permission. To.

5:50

Just observe, You're thinking.

5:53

Rather than attaching to those

5:55

thoughts, And

5:57

I can't tell you how powerful this is.

6:00

Because. This is something that

6:02

needs to be mastered. So.

6:05

Many of us believe that

6:07

our thoughts are reality. So.

6:10

Many of us believe that our emotions

6:13

or reality. If or thought

6:15

shows up, I have to follow

6:17

it. If an emotion shows up,

6:19

I must act on it. No,

6:21

No no. These. Are

6:24

just one options? As.

6:26

Far as many options

6:28

that you're currently not

6:30

recognizing because you're so

6:32

focused on survival. When

6:35

you're survival and emotional brain

6:37

are engaged together, you begin

6:39

misinterpreting everything. everything on the

6:41

inside of you and everything

6:43

on the outside of you.

6:46

The let me tell you something

6:48

through mindless meditation. You. Can

6:50

begin to bring power back in

6:52

to you, back into your mind

6:55

where you get to think rather

6:57

than react. You get to think

6:59

rather than remember things that you

7:01

did from the past and continue

7:04

to do the same things. When

7:06

you become a thinker, you begin

7:08

to guy that inner child with

7:10

the new that still sensitized in

7:12

the right direction. Instead.

7:15

Of taking on the same interpretations

7:17

of that child and saying yes,

7:20

I do have to play it

7:22

safe. Yes, My

7:24

world does have to be small. And

7:28

if you continue to live off these

7:30

interpretations, your world gets smaller and smaller.

7:33

and smaller to the point where you're

7:35

only surviving and you're not living anymore.

7:38

And these people fear the idea

7:40

of dying. As much as they

7:43

fear the idea of living. Don't.

7:45

Let this be you. Listen.

7:48

To every episode in this

7:51

podcast over and over again

7:53

and understand that healing is

7:55

always right around the corner.

7:58

One. Realization. One

8:00

moment of clarity can take

8:02

you there. So practice mindless

8:04

meditation each and every day

8:06

as a skill. That. You

8:08

need to build towards becoming the

8:10

greatest version of you. I

8:14

love you all from the bottom

8:16

of my heart. Remember that you

8:18

are more than anxiety. Fear.
