One of the questions I get asked the most in the anxiety recovery journey is if there’s one "hack" or "trick" for long-term freedom.
As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I can say with certainty that the key to long-term recovery is not to focus solely on making the symptoms go away but rather to make the decision to live your life fully despite their presence.
When I was in the throes of my own anxiety struggle, I made the mistake of trying every possible "hack" or "trick" to relieve my symptoms - breathing techniques, yoga, meditation, medication, supplements, you name it.
But nothing seemed to work, and over time, I became so hyper-focused on how I was feeling that I stopped living altogether.
The turning point came when I decided to live with my symptoms side by side. Instead of trying to fix or fight the anxiety, panic attacks, digestive issues, and other physical sensations, I simply brought them along as I went about my daily activities.
This shift in mindset was critical - I realized that recovery is not an "all or nothing" proposition and that progress happens gradually, with ups and downs along the way.
Tune in to this episode to learn how to apply this approach in your own anxiety recovery journey!

This is how I recovered! An anxiety symptom hit me in Costco this weekend, but then I just floated through, I knew what it was and they went away. I looked around at all the people around me and knew I was just like them again 🥰
Great job. Keep doing that and you’ll gain confidence that you can handle whatever anxiety throws at you. And then, you’ll no longer fear anxiety. That’s when you are free
@@infinitepossibilities337you r recovered?
It went away because you let the energy flow freely through you and your body so it ran out of its "value". Everything is energy. Root of anxiety is in mind. Study the mind so anxiety will be only once a month guest in your life
@@KacperCerkowski😂that once a month unwanted guest
How long did it take you?
Guys believe me my anxiety is almost gone now. You just have to accept that it may take some time but nonetheless it's going to go away. I know it's too uncomfortable at times but believe me you're going to be okay and you're going to live your life again. Trust God's plan and these videos are really helpful for you because this is the only way that really works.
How did you do it. What helped you the most
@@megblackwolf5470 By watching Shan's videos, I understood anxiety well and what helped me most is that I kept this fact in my mind that no matter the intensity of the anxiety attacks, I never die from it, it's only me thinking about dying or something bad is about to happen but in reality it was just my dysregulated nervous system that couldn't differentiate between actual threatening situations and the unreal one's. So you have to teach your nervous system to make it work as it is is supposed to do. Only way that can help in doing so is to stay calm during anxiety and carrying on with what you're doing by keeping in mind the fact that it's just a false alarm that can only be repaired by not reacting too much and next time it'll feel easy to handle and eventually they'll go. Good luck!
@@anticringe0my anxiety is getting wores when I do meditation airless
@@MudasirBanday-h5x Identify when and why anxiety starts to happen. Tell yourself that it's going to pass eventually though it's uncomfortable but you need to start treating anxiety like your best friend who's with you all the time. And eventually it won't ask for that much attention when you become comfortable with it.
@@anticringe0 but my my mind start racing it's like I am not reday to face it that's why I do meditation...
This is me right now. Agoraphobia on me like crazy. But my biggest fear is whenever I have headaches, digestive issues, trembling body
Let your head hurt. Let your body tremble. It’s uncomfortable but not dangerous. What you resist, will just grow stronger. Acceptance doesn’t feel good at first, but it is the way out. Become ok with the symptoms being there while you focus on getting back to living. Don’t make the symptoms your main focus every day. You can do it
@@infinitepossibilities337you are spot on . 💯
@@infinitepossibilities337 Thank you so much.
@@infinitepossibilities337 thanks for your comments I’ve been reading them all.
Same here
I’m going on a 10hr car trip this week, as a passenger. My car panic attacks are through the roof when I’m in the car especially being a passenger… I’m absolutely terrified and have tried backing out so many times. I haven’t ridden with anyone in over 4 months. I’m pushing myself to go because I know I need to, but it is TERRIFYING.
You can do this ...I went after one year to a 6 hrs trip stayed for three nights and coming g home back ..Thank God everything went well..he's I experienced symptoms but they I just let them be and avoid the 5 fs
quit living in the future live in the now, during the car ride you will feel panic accept it will happen, the panic hasnt killed you yet, its all in your head
Nothing is going to happen, you'll be fine.
How did it go? I hope you were able to go and sit with the sensations. I understand the fear as I am the same. I hear you and see you. Sending you great vibes.
I really feel a lot better after watching this. Thanks.
Hi. This is a great perspective. Im gonna implement this in my life. Thank you.
Thanks for These Precious Advice Shaan 🙏
Thanks for this bro
One thing I’ve noticed is that a few days before I actually have a panic attack I am highly sensitive to things like I want to cry a lot. Not necessarily at things that are bad they can be good things but I just get very emotional…. I’m trying to spend more time listening to my body and the things that happened prior to the extreme anxiety.
Great video! One of the best. Expounding on the third, develop a positive feedback loop. Pause to recognize the reality of even the smallest improvement. Know it is solid evidence to hope for more improvement.
Omg, thank you so much for this video 😢
Thanks shaan ! highly appreciated. I've been following you for more than 5 years now. I know everything like the mechanics of anxiety and the nervous system sensitization and I've purchased the blue print it really helped me but sometimes I feel panic attacks. I wish I could join the mentorship program but unfortunately I'm from 3rd world country can't afford the program. But thank you so much
Hi I hope u feel better.. Im from a 3rd world country as well
Me too, am in Africa and it's hard to overcome totally here.
Please help me 😭😭
bless u shaan
Mr. Shaan looking great! 😎 Love how chill & relaxing the real-time video delivery this time. "No matter what happens, you got this.", "Who cares!" Yup, I'm enjoying my journey.
I really do love all your content shaan talking about anxiety. They are my go to videos when my anxiety was high. They really help me a lot to cope with anxiety. Thank you for your helpful videos Shaan. I'm still struggling but looking forward to get better.
@@infinitepossibilities337 Doing it already. One step at a time. But whenever i was okay with other symptoms already accepted it, there is another symptoms that i'm not familiar popping out of nowhere but trying to not get panic of it or else I'm gonna be back at zero which i was afraid of.
The next step is dropping all coping mechanisms. That is embracing acceptance fully. It’s ok to get reminders and inspiration from time to time, but if you’re using the videos daily as a crutch/reassuranxe, it’s just going to hold you back long term. And then it’s just about staying consistent and patient. You’ve got this.
@@clydejane728 Yes, when you lose fear of your symptoms, the symptoms do shift and new ones will pop up; its all part of the recovery journey. The key is not letting any new symptom throw you off for too long, and just throwing EVERYTHING under the anxiety umbrella. You will never go back to zero. You already have the knowledge you need, and will never become as scared as you were before you knew it.
Great video! I've overcome so much health anxiety and general anxiety....the driving though..thats the one thats being tricky.. your videos on that have been helpful. Wish you could be in the car with me for a couple drives lol but will keep pressing on
Reading untethered soul, I see! Both you and Michael Singer have been very helpful to me. Thank you 🙏
Wonderful!
Online is the worst . I found not to look up symptoms . If that were true ? I had like 10 strokes in an hour then😂
You have given me the self belief that one day I will finally be free of anxiety 🙏
You will!
This condition took everything out of me including my finances so I just don't have the $300 a month. And even when I had the money (and I understand the your health is worth all the money in the world slogan) but it's pretty steep, bro. That being said I'm glad I found this channel and the website.
you can do it without a coach, just read or listen to claire weekes book, put it into practice what he’s saying on these videos, and wait. over time you will do more and more and have less and less anxiety and you will know you are coming out of it even while you are still in it.
..???
What cost 300 a month ?
Shaan's flexing taking a walk in the city lmao
It’s ironic, one of the last things I was doing before anxiety got really bad was enjoying visits to Austin and driving all around, driving people actually for RideAustin. It’s literally a night and day difference what my life was then and now, being almost 2 years of unable to leave my house in Houston. Very surreal. But I do think I’m at that stage where I have exhausted everything and I’m ready to not care anymore. Plus, I believe the nervous system does regulate and dig deep roots during this time. It’s not overnight, for sure. I still feel I have ways to go. My anxiety is so bad, nervous system so sensitized still, it’s simply not the time to push myself too hard yet until my nervous system can really see that it’s lying to itself. Unfortunate how it takes years
Wishing you luck!
That’s the psychology of it all when people people have money invested in something they tend to stick it out longer
I am frustrated and fed up with these symptoms, I want to go out and work but i am not confident enough!! I always have a question in my mind that with these symptoms like dizziness, body aches and all how can i concentrate on my life and work???? I am so confused and frustrated
Shaan, me and other people in your academy program are wondering if you are now back in the cycle while doing this video??? Are we right???!
How about depression in anxiety? I dont know what to do, I'm tired 24/7 :/
The way out of depression or lessening is pretty much the same way…
The more you fight with the fact that you are tired, the more ‘being tired’ will stick around. Let it be there. The body comes back into balance all by itself. You have to stop stressing over any symptom. Even tiredness/sadness. It’s ok to feel those things. They will pass in time if you don’t resist it
Depression is a suppression of anxiety. You bottled up energy. You have to open the lid and let it go, It will cause pain but it will leave.
What if you do know why you’re experiencing symptoms and that isn’t helping you? Like I have had tests and people tell me I have health anxiety but, there’s a part of me that still doesn’t believe it so I’m not sure where to go from there. It’s linked to a ptsd event so I don’t get anxiety from all of my symptoms but, a select few that will not go away and are debilitating. And I “know” it’s anxiety but, I can’t seem to move forward.
Just accept them and keep living as if the symptoms aren’t there that’s how you get better and move on
Can anyone answer my question; I accept and it won’t go away. I work full time, I train kickboxing 5 days a week and gym on weekends, I have and see friends, I don’t sit around and ruminate, i let it be there and there is nothing I avoid. I don’t fight it but I still feel terrible. The thoughts naturally occur and I let me be but the feelings that come with them don’t go away, and I’m aware that I can’t be disregarding for them to go away
You’re using “acceptance” as a way to make your symptoms go away. That’s not acceptance
@@byebyepanicRight. It couldn’t possibly be that acceptance doesn’t work for everyone? I’m curious at what point someone has to admit something isn’t working?
I know its all about acceptance, and you say that if you accept because u want the symptoms to go away it’s a problem, but in advance the topic of this video is about recovery. So after watching your video, and understand that I have to accept the symptoms, but how without an intent of get rid of the symptom?
You have to educate yourself first and focus on your symptoms not on your thoughts and trying to feel those symptoms and trying to separate yourself from thoughts
When you are with your symptoms your thoughts might be scary, so if you want to heal you have to feel your symptoms, I have also dealing with anxiety and symptoms
Im doing my exposures but i feel shit when i did them can you tell me how to handle this ?
Get better at feeling like shit. Acceptance doesn’t feel good. You have to live life and be willing to feel like crap for awhile, for your brain and body to re adjust. It takes time. Let yourself feel bad if you feel bad. But don’t stop living life
@@infinitepossibilities337 Thank you for all your excellent advice to back up what Shaan is saying!
Keep going 💪 You will overcome this! SENDING blessings to you 🙏
@infinitepossibilities337 honestly this is exactly true....and yup you are not alone in this and you are not unique like shan says
Have your neurotransmitters have been low? I have insomnia and anxiety and took a urine test and my norepinephrine and epinephrine and serotonin are low. Any suggestions
which doctor should i see to get tested for this?
The test is evexia diagnostic. It shows your levels of your neurotransmitters through a urine test. But I’m working with a chiropractor and she’s a functional doctor as well.
You can't feel better unless you are out there. Think of your brain as a kid with some irrational fears, and your identity as an adult - then tell the kid to go ahead regardless of outcome.
Basically as if your brain is a kid who is afraid of exams and YOU are an adult who reassures the kid into giving the exam anyway, regardless of outcome.
I don't know if this makes sense but that's how I am trying to deal with it now.
