I try to cure anxiety but it still doesn't get cured, so do this

Hello friends, and welcome.

Today, I want to discuss a topic many of you have approached me about—anxiety. You often say things like, "Sir, we are doing everything possible to overcome anxiety—working hard and putting in so much effort—but it just doesn’t go away." I understand your struggle, and today, we’ll explore why this happens and how we can tackle it effectively.

Let me share a simple truth: Effort in the wrong direction will never lead us to the right destination. Imagine standing in front of a door that opens outward. You push it outward, and it opens easily. But if you try pulling it inward—no matter how hard you try—it won’t budge. The problem isn’t your dedication; you’re just applying effort in the wrong way. Anxiety is similar: it has a specific mechanism and method to resolve it.

Let’s illustrate this idea with a real-life story. I once met a woman battling severe anxiety for over a year. Despite trying everything—yoga, meditation, medication—she found no relief. Her anxiety started when her daughter failed the NEET exam. Understandably, she worried deeply about her daughter's future. Even after her daughter tried again and failed, her concern escalated. No matter how hard she worked to calm her mind, her anxiety persisted.

You see, anxiety stems from negative thought patterns—not external circumstances. In her case, the problem wasn’t the NEET results but her interpretation of them. She believed her daughter's future was doomed, and this catastrophic thought fueled her anxiety. Her husband, on the other hand, calmly remarked, "It’s okay, she can explore other paths or opportunities," which helped him avoid the same emotional turmoil.

So here’s the takeaway: Our thoughts shape our emotional experiences. If we interpret an event negatively, we create unnecessary stress. Life is vast and offers countless paths to success. Just because one door closes doesn’t mean others won’t open. Assuming the worst about the future leads to anxiety—but how can we predict a future that hasn’t even happened? Instead, embrace the idea of possibilities and let your mind find peace in uncertainty.

Remember, external situations don’t create anxiety—it’s how we interpret them that does. The key to overcoming anxiety is transforming our thought process, not changing the world around us.
