Can one mindset switch from looking for relaxation to harnessing the ability to release effect anxiety levels and help to protect our vital energies? I believe so, and today we’ll dive deep into this important topic. Enjoy my peaceful warriors!
Welcome to another transformative episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast. Are you struggling with the never-ending battle of trying to relax and find peace in your life? Well, my friends, I’ve been there, and in this episode, I want to share with you the powerful concept of releasing, rather than relaxing, which has been a game-changer in my own journey to break free from anxiety’s grip and achieve true inner peace.
I know how hard it can be when anxiety is your default emotional state
Attempting to force relaxation upon yourself can backfire, and that’s why I want to introduce you to this alternative approach: releasing. By shifting your intention and embracing this new attitude, you can let go of the compounded stress and negative emotions that have plagued your subconscious mind for years.
In this episode, I explore the main challenges of relaxation
I explain why embracing the idea of releasing is so essential. Becoming the silent witness of your thoughts and sensations allows your inner self to guide you towards inner peace, and it’s a truly transformative experience.
If you’re tired of worrying, overanalyzing, and struggling to find peace, this episode is a must-listen. Join me as I guide you on a journey to become more than anxiety and share how you can start getting comfortable with the elements of anxiety that show up in your mind and body.
I encourage you to spread the love and share this important podcast episode with someone in need today my friends

Quotes From This Podcast Episode
- “When we become the silent witness of things and we intend to release rather than relax, we allow that I to show up. We allow that I will guide us.”
- “It’s going to feel like you’re losing control and you feel naked. It’s going to feel like you’re not so intelligent and caught up in your mind because we’ve created so much value over the analytical mind and such little value over our intuition.”
- “Don’t go back to what doesn’t work. What doesn’t work is worry. Worry has become like a best friend for you.”
- “If you embrace this new attitude, then you’re going to start getting comfortable with the elements of anxiety that show up in mind and body.”

Honestly, with how anxious I can get, I really was relieved when relaxation kept working at first. But after a while, it became like I kept forcing myself to relax and the more that happened, the more anxious I got until I abandoned the entire idea in its entirety. I have to rethink this again.
Don’t avoid your panic attacks. Don’t be afraid to confront them head-on. Familiarize yourself with them and acknowledge their presence. Understand how they affect you.
