Are you tired of fighting against negative emotions and feeling like you’re not making any progress? In this episode, I speak about the concept of surrendering negative emotions to achieve anxiety freedom. Enjoy!

Surrendering means to stop fighting and frantically searching for anxiety solutions, and to allow any outcome to arise without resistance. Surrendering is a conscious act, but it doesn’t require force or push. It can be connected to allowing, letting go, and surrendering

I further highlight the importance of having a relationship with a higher power or source energy to make surrendering easier. However, I don’t want to engage in the debate about which religion or spirituality practice is better. I believe that every person will be guided towards what they believe is the best fit for them.

In this episode, I emphasize that everyone is in a different stage of their journey towards anxiety freedom, and some may need conscious skill sets to reach the point of surrendering. You may also look up techniques like Emotional Reframing (trauma) and NLP (responses to fear) on my YouTube channel to help respond to the lower self or inner child.

One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of locating negative emotions in the body and feeling their presence towards anxiety freedom.

By surrendering them to something natural like the world, God, or nature, one can begin to let go of the tension perpetuated by too much mental activity from the lower self. Surrendering negative emotions without force or desire is the key to accepting positive emotions and moving up the healing ladder.

“Surrendering is the ultimate act of self-love and self-care.” So, if you’re ready to let go of negative emotions and find anxiety freedom, tune in to this episode now.

Quotes from this podcast episode

“Surrender means to no longer fight with frantically, look for solutions for and to allow for any outcome that shall arise to arise.”

“Surrender is more easily accomplished if your relationship with source energy is already present. You know, I don’t want to go into the God debate. I don’t want to ever convince you that one way of thinking about a source energy, an entity, a religion, a spirituality practice, is better than another. I’m not about that. Every single person here in this world will be guided at some point towards what they believe is the best fit for them in terms of what a higher power means. Surrender is more easily accomplished if your relationship with that higher power is present and you can surrender these emotions to something unseen, but felt now to surrender is still a conscious act.”

“So you need to start thinking that a conscious act doesn’t have to be something that you do. A conscious act can in fact be something that you don’t have to push against or create. A conscious act can easily be connected to allowing, letting go and surrendering.”

“When you begin to surrender consciously, you open yourself up to the guidance from your higher self. No longer are you touching on the information that has come from others all these years. You are now downloading the kind of wisdom that is directly connected to your personal and intimate journey.”

“The higher self says and the moment you believe it and walk hand in hand with it, you are moving up the consciousness scale.”

Conclusion

Anxiety freedom is a result of making peace with your protective sides. The motivation to maintain these intrusive thoughts, bodily tension, and to continue to pull your attention towards threat rather than safety is strong within. As we begin convincing our lower selves however that the world isn’t what it thinks it is, the pressure will dissipate. This, is where true anxiety healing lies.
