Mindfulness Based Anxiety Mentoring
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is typically a natural response to stress, fear, or perceived threats, manifesting in physical, mental, and behavioural changes. It is often characterized by feelings of dread, fear, or unease, which can vary in intensity from mild to severe. Anxiety becomes problematic when excessive worry about minor or relatively harmless situations occurs. When anxiety is particularly intense or overwhelming, it can interfere with daily functioning and negatively impact interpersonal relationships. It can also be a symptom of PTSD which many people have unconsciously due to past traumatic experiences.
What causes anxiety?
Anxiety arises from a multitude of situations and life experiences. Its impact is highly individualized, and if one were to inquire from 100 individuals about their experiences with anxiety, they would likely receive 100 distinct responses. At times, anxiety may lack obvious triggers, making it challenging to identify its causes, which can be distressing in itself. Anxiety levels vary among individuals; some people find more situations stressful and face greater life challenges, leading to heightened anxiety. Potential causes of anxiety include:
- Upbringing
- Environment
- Life events
- Personality type
- Unresolved Psychological Trauma
Signs or symptoms of anxiety...
- Fatigue, restlessness, or irritability
- Hypervigilance
- Trembling, dizziness, or increased sweating
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Sleep disturbances
- Persistent worry about past or future events, or a sense of impending doom
- Headaches, gastrointestinal discomfort, or muscle pain
- Dry mouth
- Paraesthesia (pins and needles)
- Noticeable changes in heart rate, such as palpitations, tachycardia, or irregular heartbeat, and shortness of breath during anxious episodes
The Consciousology Approach
Firstly, much of the information provided isn't vastly different from what a Google search might yield. However, as the adage goes, there's no substitute for experience. Predominantly, the entire concept of Consciousology stems from my personal battle with chronic anxiety.
To conquer anxiety and regain control of your life, it's crucial to address the root cause, not just the symptoms. While short-term relief can be quickly learned, long-term recovery requires self-reflection and a deeper connection with oneself, which necessitates confronting both conscious and unconscious fears within.
Anxiety is essentially a physiological response to fear, whether real or imagined, and the body cannot differentiate between the two; the biological response remains the same. Thus, long-term recovery and healing involve unearthing and confronting any unconscious fears. The unfortunate truth is, that much of the anxiety we experience is triggered by our own unconscious patterns.
However, the reality is that you cannot fully engage in this process until you're ready. But if you've stumbled upon this page and are reading these words at this very moment, perhaps this is what Carl Jung referred to as synchronicity, and maybe, just maybe, your path to psychological individuation, inner peace, and a life devoid of anxiety has already begun?
Synchronicity, as defined by psychologist Carl Jung, refers to events that occur simultaneously and seem meaningfully connected, yet lack an apparent causal link...
For all the men struggling with their mental health and nobody to talk too, because this world wrongly raises boys to believe that ‘real’ men mask their emotions and that strong means silent.
What is Consciousology...
Consciousology is the study and exploration of individual consciousness (or conscious self-awareness) through the lens of psychological introspection...the aim, to guide you to less anxiety, better emotional wellbeing and a deeper sense of connection to yourself, others and the world around you, one that is rooted in healthy self-esteem.
