Welcome to another empowering episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, where we explore how to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion on your anxiety healing journey. In this episode, we uncover one of the most difficult challenges in healing—learning to distinguish whether your efforts are guided by your higher self or your lower self.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself but uncovering your true nature.
  • The role of anxiety in suppressing your higher self and how fear prolongs your state of distress.
  • Key traits of the lower self, including impatience, self-criticism, and the belief that you’re broken.
  • How to embody the higher self through patience, compassion, and enjoying the process of growth.
  • How letting go surrender sessions on YouTube will change your life.

Key Takeaways:

  • You are not broken: Anxiety doesn’t define you, and the limiting self-talk from your lower self doesn’t reflect your true potential.
  • Healing is about rediscovering your suppressed true self, not becoming someone new.
  • By slowing down, embracing patience, and practicing non-judgment, you can align with your higher self and find joy in the healing process.

Episode Highlights:

  • The limiting beliefs and behaviors of the lower self that hold you back.
  • How the higher self focuses on growth and compassion without judgment.
  • The importance of letting go of the “finish line” mindset and embracing the journey.
