07. A Critical Perspective on Managing Anxiety
01. Knowing You’re Not Alone
Our Mission: Transforming Anxiety Understanding Worldwide
Mission 1: Reducing Anxiety Diagnoses Through Knowledge, information and Understanding.
Our primary mission is to significantly reduce the number of anxiety diagnoses given worldwide each year. We aim to achieve this by providing information and knowledge backed by scientific evidence. By enlightening individuals about anxiety, its symptoms, and effective tools, we are convinced that many can avoid receiving an unnecessary diagnosis.
Mission 2: Educating on Avoiding Long-term Anxiety
It’s crucial for those experiencing anxiety to understand how to handle their symptoms from the very start. Our goal is for everyone to learn how to effectively manage initial symptoms of anxiety or sudden, irrational anxiety attacks. With the right knowledge and approach, most people can prevent the progression to a long-term anxiety diagnosis.
Understanding anxiety and its triggers is often the first step toward prevention. Many receive a diagnosis due to misunderstanding their initial experiences of irrational anxiety, leading to panic and further distress.
The Foundation of Our Approach: Knowledge and Positive Thinking
Our approach is grounded in providing information and knowledge that have been proven through evidence. We focus on the incredible capabilities of our brain to transform irrational thoughts of anxiety into rational ones.
- What We Discuss: Our emphasis is on the power of positive thinking and its efficacy in addressing anxiety challenges. Negative thought patterns are a core aspect of anxiety that can be altered with the right techniques.
- What We Do Not Discuss: We choose not to cover topics like medication, MCT (Metacognitive Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), or other therapeutic approaches. There are ample resources available for those therapies all over the net. On Amazon alone we found over 100.000 anxiety related books.
Positive Thinking: A Key to Overcoming Anxiety
Positive thinking plays a crucial role when dealing with anxiety. Transforming negative thoughts into positive ones will significantly impact one’s journey to becoming anxiety-free. This method is not just about optimism, it’s about applying a strategic approach to change how we process and respond to negative anxiety thoughts.
The Importance of Self-Perception
Labeling oneself with terms like “My anxiety” “I am anxious” or “I have anxiety” has detrimental effects on one’s self-confidence, self-worth, and, most importantly, the ability to overcome anxiety. Our language and self-perception matter greatly in our path to recovery.
By focusing on education and positive reinforcement, we can change the narrative around anxiety. It’s not just about avoiding certain phrases but about reshaping our entire view on anxiety and its place in our lives.
Our focus.
To be honest. It doesn’t matter why you’ve developed anxiety, that won’t make you anxiety-free.
What’s important is how you let go of it. So that is our focus.
We distinguish between long or short term worries that release cortisol and real anxiety that releases adrenaline.
In Conclusion
Our journey is about more than just avoiding a diagnosis, it’s about giving each individual the knowledge and tools to address anxiety effectively. By understanding our brain’s power and the impact of our thoughts and chemistry in creating anxiety symptoms, we can all take a significant steps toward living a life free from unnecessary anxiety.
And remember. Our method is just one of many. Ours is based on building a common rational sense instead of diagnosis and medication.
