Self healing guide

I was a super anxious dude 6 years ago.

I was battling overthinking, worry and loneliness.

I tried practicing all kinds of things from affirmations to positive focus, but nothing helped.

My anxiety got to a point where I became super hesitant to even get out of my room.

One morning after 7 or 8 months into this deep battle with anxiety, I was so tired of fighting my overthinking mind.

So I gave in and accepted my thoughts. It brought some initial relief.

Then it took me on a healing journey processing and releasing the subconscious beliefs and suppressed emotions that were the causes for my anxiety.

Once I took that inner journey, my anxiety became non-existent.

Now I can even talk to complete strangers and connect with them within 5 minutes.

I'm here to tell you, you don't have to live your entire life finding new ways to cope with your anxiety. It's possible to heal it fully with deep inner work.

If you are tired of trying to heal your anxiety, DM me "guidance".

Or else follow me for daily insights and perspectives that will liberate your mind.

A habit that f*cks up your mental health:

Living in denial of your thoughts and feelings.

Don't try to escape or distract from your anxious thoughts.

Hoping that treating them as if they don't exist will bring you relief.

That is like denying a wound that's getting more infected every day.

The wound only gets worse with time.

Accept the thoughts that bring you anxiety. Even the craziest ones.

The more you accept and process them, the more you will be relieved.

Easier said than done.

But with practice, you will be more at peace and in tune with yourself.

Have any practices that brings you inner peace?

Healed my anxiety without a trace with deep inner work ❖ Helping entrepreneurs and professionals do the same one post at a time

Looping on anxious thoughts about work at 1 am?

Here's what to do about it:

The truth is you don't have authority over your mind.

Your mind is running on outdated fear-based programs:

- How will my boss/client react?
- Am I capable of delivering this?
- What if I don't finish the project?

and a 1000 other thought loops.

You only get confused with overthinking.

The way to relax is not to try to control or fight your mind.

Let those patterns run. You can't stop them.

Just listen to them neutrally as you listen to a person.

Those thoughts will die out when you don't feed them energy with your reactions.

Mental clarity that comes from self-observation will bring you the solutions you are looking for.

How do you stop your thoughts loops and tap into peace?

95% of people are suffering with their minds.

Here's the unknown reason why:

Most people are afraid of themselves.

They chose to do all the things except be with themselves.

They carry beliefs that some emotions are bad.

Normally lighter emotions like love, joy, peace are judged as good.

And denser emotions like fear, shame, guilt are judged as bad.

So they chase the good emotions and push away the bad emotions.

By pushing away, they are not getting rid of bad emotions.

They just suppress those emotions deeply within themselves.

The emotions they suppressed, like fear or anger, gets triggered often by life situations.

It activates their fearful overthinking mind.

They feel the pain in most situations.

That's why so many people are stuck with anxiety nowadays.

They feel limited and self-conscious in most situations.

When they change the relationship they have with all their emotions into a healthy one, their life changes.

Because emotions are just messengers that carry truth and wisdom.

Listen to them. They will reveal what you are ready to see.

Disciplined always mess up what they build.

Here's why:

Most discipline comes out of force.

A belief that if you keep pushing, somehow you will succeed.

So you:

- Stop socializing.
- Stop taking care of yourself and
- Spend all your energy on the goals.

But at some point, you get exhausted.

You lose all your focus and drive.

Because without rest and rejuvenation, there is no effective aligned action.

It's the same as sharpening a knife instead of blindly cutting a tree with a blunt one.

But for aligned action, you need to break free from limiting beliefs like:

"I can only succeed if I sacrifice."
"If I slow down I might fail."
"Rest is for losers."

Then you tap into your true power and potential.

That's how you can build sustainable success for yourself.

More knowledge won't help your anxiety.

Actually it increases it.

While I was battling anxiety, I spent countless hours on books and videos.

Hoping that somehow it will help me figure a way out of anxiety.

Even though temporarily, I felt good from the dopamine hit.

Over time, it just made me more anxious.

As I took on more mental weight.

Out of all the countless hours I spent on knowledge...

The only thing helped me was a simple practice of observing the mind.

Everything else just made me feel hopeless.

So, knowledge should be combined with practice.

A practice that help you let go of all the mental weight you carry.

Otherwise, it will just confuse and make you more anxious.

Healing anxiety is letting go, not adding more.

You self-sabotage and mess up things you build.

Here's why:  

You do all the things right:

- Building the right systems.
- Learning the right skills.
- Having the right support.

But when it comes to reaching your goals, you always feel stuck.

Things are not moving as you want them to.

When it looks like you are about to succeed, you get overwhelmed.

You mess up your actions.

It's because you have limiting beliefs about success.

It might be:  

- You are incapable of success.
- I'll be lonely if I'm successful.
- I'll lose everything if I become successful.

You won't even know it because it's unconscious.

The belief gets triggered when you are about to win.

Then you mess up your actions to stay true to your beliefs.

Unless you heal those limiting beliefs, you can never unlock your potential.

I'll break the illusion for you:

"You won't be happy when you are rich."

Most people chase the illusion that one day…

"Monetary success will compensate for their lack of happiness."

That their insecurities, anxiety, and relationship problems wash away.

After reaching success, they still feel empty and unfulfilled.

They realize money is just an amplifier.

Money will reveal who you are deeply inside.

If you are anxious while building wealth, you will be anxious after.

If you fear judgments while building wealth, you will fear judgments after.

Inner work is your only way out.

Healing your traumas that block you from realizing your happy, authentic self.

You are stuck in a rut for decades.

Whether you run a biz or on a 9-5. Here's why:

You are too active and confused.

- Multitasking.
- Jumping between strategies.
- Time wasted on useless distractions.

Your life won't change unless you update your outdated mental software.

Because you perpetuate the same behaviours that led to your current life.

The mental clarity to fix your rut comes from quietness.

Actively relax and do nothing for at least 10-min per day.

It will slowly surface all the old patterns that kept you stuck.

Once you process those patterns, mental clarity is a byproduct.

That's when you tap into ideas to create a fulfilling lifestyle for yourself.

When you are craving noise, what you are actually seeking is quietness.

Ever had an insight that completely changed your life?

Your distractions are not bad.

They bring temporary relief from your anxiety.

Because your focus is on something outside of yourself.

But overtime you need more distractions to escape your anxiety.

- Doom scrolling shift from 4 to 8 hours.
- Drinks don't stop at 2 shots.
- Binge eating last for hours.

And because of that, it would be nearly impossible for you to improve your life.

Because you will lack focus and energy to hit your goals.

All your energy will be spent on distractions and fighting your mind.

To slowly heal from your distractions: 

Pause when you feel the urge to indulge in distractions.

This small act of awareness will reveal you the painful stuff beneath the surface.

Once you process and heal the pain, your need for distractions falls away.

Distraction is nothing but a desperate attempt to live with pain.

What helps you focus on your goals?

You think anxiety is a mental problem.

It is not.

Anxiety just shows up in your mind.

99% of anxious people just try to fix their minds.

- By reading more books.
- By talk therapy.
- By workouts.

and a 1000 different strategies.

It won't work because the mind is just the tip of the iceberg.

The root cause of your anxiety is a dysregulated nervous system.

A dysregulated nervous system feeds your mind with fears and worries.

Because the nervous system is intricately connected to your mind.

Once you relax and soothe the nervous system, your anxiety will naturally fall away.

Why do 95% of hard workers fail.

They lack mental clarity.

They work 12+ hours on random tasks that never lead anywhere.

Because it's less challenging and comfortable.

And they avoid doing the lever-moving tasks because:

- They fear failure.
- They fear judgments.
- They fear making mistakes.

So they get stuck in their comfort zone to avoid the pain.

Put yourself out of your comfort zone and face your anxiety.

If you don't, you will be stuck doing the same things...

Which will lead to the same results.

High-leverage actions require you to feel calm under pressure.

Facing and processing your fears will lead to the success you desire.

Quick fixes for anxiety don't work.

Here's why:

- Talk therapy.
- Affirmations.
- Anxiety pills.

are all hyper-focused on one thing…

"Fixating that you are naturally an anxious person and trying to fix it."

Those strategies don't allow you to explore why you are anxious in the first place.

But you were not born anxious.

You were carefree and happy as a kid.

Something happened as you grew up that made you anxious.

And you can only make peace with that something with shadow work.

That's when you become anxiety-free.

Healing anxiety is realizing that you are happy and free at the core.

Your only obstacle to a fulfilling life:

It's not your job.
It's not your parents.
It's not your marriage.

The real culprit is your troublesome thoughts.

Your mind creates thoughts like:

"My family won't trust me."
"What if I fail and disappoint them?"
"It's hard to follow my own path with all the responsibilities."

Believing those thoughts blindly without questioning is what's keeping you stuck.

It blocks you from seeing the possibilities available to you.

Because there are people who made their dreams possible, starting from an even worse situation than yours.

Clear your mind by detaching from your thoughts and start taking aligned action.

Your path opens up only when you start walking.

The sure-proof way to live a mediocre life:

Being a good guy/girl.

I mean:

- Doing acceptable stuff.
- Making sure everybody is happy.
- Staying quiet and contained.

It might keep you out of conflicts and trouble.

It might bring some approval and likeness.

But there is a big price you pay for this:

Being unable to live life on your own terms.

You give up on your dreams and goals to fit in with people.

Because you feel that there is no room for your real self.

So you live a silent life of resentment and anxiety.

Your way out is to:

- speak your truth.
- face the discomfort.
- question your limiting beliefs.

Fake people will fall out of your life, while the real ones stay/arrive.

The deep relief you feel over time is worth the temporary discomfort.

Nothing is worth compromising your true self for.

Rigid plans kill success more than anything else.

Here's why:

Life is uncertain.

You never know what will come your way tomorrow.

You can plan the entire roadmap from A to Z.

But you might suddenly get hit with a problem(P) after a step(B).

You get stuck if you are not mentally fluid enough to change plans.

You repeat the same mistakes again and again, hoping you will somehow get to success.

But you will just burn out and give up if you continue.

All this happens because you fear uncertainty.

You try to hyperplan out of it, which just invites anxiety.

When you find comfort in uncertainty, action will flow smoothly because you adapt to challenges faster.

Ever had an uncertain moment that you overcame?

Worrying is stealing your future.

Here's how:

Worry brings you a sense of control.

You feel like you are well prepared if the worst-case scenario hits.

By doing that, you make sure to attract the worst-case scenario.

Because worrying steals your ability to focus and take aligned action.

You just ruminate on things out of your control and waste time.

When it's time to act, you just think and remain idle.

Healing the worry pattern will bring you the ability to take on challenges on the path to success.

What helps you purely focus on action when you need to?

I created a free training that reveals an unconventional way to relieve your anxiety, so you can cultivate a quiet mind, stop draining your energy and focus as an entrepreneur/professional. Linked in the featured section.

You are your biggest barrier to success.

Here's why: 

For example, let's say you are building a startup.

As you build, a problem hits you:  
"How do I find customers?"

Instead of being mentally calm and creating a strategy for that…

Your mind spins stories like:  

- The market is saturated.
- Finding customers is not easy.
- People won't trust us to solve their problems.

Believing those thoughts, you get misdirected from the path.

You try to fix problems that don't even exist in the first place.

This is how most people waste years on stupid action.

Instead of going through all that...

Cultivate a clear mind by learning to step out of your mind first.

That mental clarity helps you take one step in front of you, instead of worrying about the 1000 steps imagined.

Solve problems that appear on the go, and you will progress quick.

Letting go of stories and meeting reality eye to eye is a quantum leap to success.

"Ego's plan is incomparable to God's plan."

A situation happened 2 days ago that proved this...

I'm currently travelling in Northern India.

I bought some extra food to give to a person in need.

I was searching for the right person. I couldn't find anybody.

I got tired and gave up searching at some point.

I trusted that god would bring to me the right person who needed it.

Soon, a person who looked hungry and weak walked in front of me.

I gave the food to him, and he started eating immediately.

The crazy thing was the story that led to this incident...

I was on a train with the food.

That train stalled for an hour for some reason.

I reached the railway station just 2 hours before my next train.

So I decided to stay on the platform, instead of exploring the city.

That's why I was able to meet him.

The thing that blew my mind was…

After I gave the food to him, I realized I was on the wrong platform.

I was in a local train station instead of the main station where I had my next train from.

Then I had to walk to the main station nearby.

All this happened because that food was meant for that specific person.

- Train getting halted for an hour.
- Being on the wrong platform.
- And meeting that person.

I could never plan it that way in a 1000 lifetimes with my limited ego.

So this is the lesson for me as well as you,

You have to trust in god's plan with your life.

Stop trying to control reality too much with your mind.

Even if you are anxious and things look unfavorable now.

You won't know what's around the corner.

When you stop chasing the good and start trusting that things will align..

You will be in the right place at the right time.

And you will attract all the good things you seek in life naturally.

For that to happen, you have to learn to get out of your own way.

Let a higher intelligence that's running the entire universe take over.

Had any crazy synchronicities happen in your life?

I'm glad that I realized this one thing very early:

"I can be rich and still feel like a failure."

If I'm stuck on:

- Working 12-plus hours every day.
- Trying to micromanage all business functions.
- Being unable to sleep, worrying about business problems.

No matter how much money I make, I will be anxious and unfulfilled.

My past freelance business taught me this lesson.

All this happened because I was stuck in survival mode.

My nervous system believed that if I slowed down, my business would fall apart.

That I will go back to ground zero again.

If you feel the same, remember why you started building in the first place.

To chase success and be anxious all your life (or) to relax and enjoy life.

The latter comes only if you are the person who is relaxed and at peace.

Relaxation can only happen if you have a practice that brings safety and relaxes your nervous system.

Your inner state won't match your results.
Your results can only match your inner state.

P.S.

Chasing results never brings fulfillment.

Here's why:

I chased financial freedom, hoping that it would complete me.

So I quit my 9-5 and started experimenting with multiple things.

I was impatient as I just wanted to get to the goal fast.

So I tried various quick money-making strategies.

And I skipped fast to find my golden egg.

Nothing worked, and I got super exhausted.

Life humbled me, showing that there are no shortcuts to success.

- So I stuck to the freelancing route.
- Repeated the fundamentals and
- Finally landed a client.

That marked the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey 3 years ago.

If you think achieving a goal can only bring you happiness, you try to skip the process fast.

The process brings you anxiety and becomes an obstacle.

Making the present moment a mere passage to get to an ideal future.

But only if you enjoy and commit to the process can you enjoy the results.

Otherwise, you will get bored and give up at some point.

Cultivate presence with inner work and find joy in the act of creation.

That way, you produce your best work, leading to the best results.

The real joy is not in the results, but in the person you become along the journey.
