You don't have to be a positive person to recover. You probably have to feel like you are a capable person to recover, and it will definitely give you a leg up if you're willing to work on that sense of capability or self-efficacy.
Ever wondered if you need to be a beacon of positivity to overcome anxiety? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata tackles this very question. Forget the idea that you have to eliminate negative energy or manifest good vibes to get better. Drew argues that while positivity can be helpful, it’s not the magic ticket to recovery. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of developing competence and self-efficacy through action. Why?
Because taking action builds confidence and creates real change, which is far more impactful than simply trying to think positive thoughts. Throughout the episode, Drew breaks down the difference between positivity and competence, explaining how focusing on skills and actions can help break the cycle of negativity. He also shares practical tips on applying these lessons to other areas of life, making this episode a must-listen for anyone struggling with anxiety.
Whether you're new to the journey or a seasoned warrior, Drew's insights offer a refreshing perspective that could change the way you approach your recovery.
