Curious about how others manage their anxiety journey? This episode of The Anxious Truth Podcast offers a fresh perspective on the often misunderstood trio of mindset, belief, and motivation in anxiety recovery. Drew Linsalata, the host, tackles the misconceptions surrounding these concepts, arguing that they can sometimes do more harm than good if misapplied. Drew highlights that you can't just decide to believe in yourself or magically find motivation before taking action.
Instead, he suggests that these feelings often follow after you've faced your fears. He challenges the common advice that you need a positive mindset to overcome anxiety, suggesting instead that it's okay to work with the mindset you have right now. Drew shares anecdotes from his therapy practice and community interactions, showing how real change happens when people act despite their doubts and fears.
He encourages listeners to embrace their current state, acknowledging their negative beliefs and lack of motivation, while being open to challenging these feelings through behaviour. If you're tired of being told to just 'think positive,' this episode might offer the alternative perspective you've been seeking. Are you ready to rethink how you approach anxiety recovery?
