1
What if I told you that your mind is like an old, dusty house?
2
Not a scary one, but a house full of rooms you haven't visited in a long time.
3
Now, imagine this house has an alarm system.
4
Anxiety isn't a thief trying to break in and hurt you.
5
Anxiety is actually the house's alarm system.
6
It is designed to keep you safe.
7
But what happens if that alarm goes off in the middle of the night and it just won't turn off?
8
We have all been there, right?
9
Lying in bed at 2 a.m worrying about an email we sent three years ago or a conversation we had earlier today. But why?
10
Why does this happen?
11
Today we are going to dive deep into the mind.
12
We are going to explore why we feel anxious.
13
We won't just look at it as a medical issue,
14
we will look at it through the lens of analytical psychology,
15
a fascinating way to understand human behavior created by a famous psychologist named Carl Jung.
16
So, grab a warm drink,
17
make yourself comfortable, and let's explore the hidden rooms of your mind.
18
Section 1.
19
The Inner Alarm System To understand why we feel anxious,
20
we first have to understand what it actually is.
21
You see, hundreds of thousands of years ago,
22
life was very different for human beings.
23
Our ancestors didn't have to worry about paying bills,
24
passing exams, or getting likes on social media.
25
Do you know what they worried about?
26
Saber-toothed tigers, bears, things that could actually eat them.
27
When they saw danger, their brains would ring that internal alarm bell.
28
This kept them alive.
29
Our brains today still have that exact same alarm system.
30
But here is the problem.
31
The world has changed so fast,
32
but our ancient brains have not.
33
In our daily modern lives, we frequently feel overwhelmed.
34
The word overwhelmed means feeling like something is too much to handle.
35
For example, If you have 10 big projects due tomorrow at work,
36
and your dog is sick at home,
37
you will definitely feel overwhelmed.
38
It feels like the weight of the whole world is on your shoulders.
39
You simply have too much on your plate.
40
When your brain feels overwhelmed,
41
it immediately looks for a threat.
42
A threat is a danger or something that can harm you.
43
But instead of a wild animal,
44
the threat today might be a very difficult presentation at work,
45
or maybe a serious argument with a close friend.
46
Your ancient brain doesn't know the difference.
47
It just knows it has to protect you right now.
48
So, how do you respond?
49
You react.
50
To react means to behave in a certain way because of something happening.
51
Have you ever noticed your heart beating really fast before an English test?
52
or your hands shaking when you have to speak in public?
53
That is your body reacting to the threat.
54
It is pumping strong energy into your muscles so you can run away or fight.
55
But you cannot punch a math test, right?
56
You cannot run away into the forest from a boring office meeting.
57
This state of being on high alert takes a huge toll on our mental health.
58
Mental is an adjective that simply means relating to the mind.
59
Our mental state becomes totally exhausted because our internal alarm is ringing loudly,
60
but there is no real physical danger to fight.
61
It's just life.
62
Section 2.
63
The Hidden Side Now that we know the biology,
64
let's step into the psychology.
65
Let's walk into a slightly darker room in our house.
66
Carl Jung, the famous psychologist, had a brilliant idea.
67
He believed that every human being has something called the shadow.
68
What is the shadow?
69
It is everything about ourselves that we reject,
70
deny, or hide from the world.
71
From a very young age, we learn rules.
72
We learn that being angry is bad.
73
We learn that being loud is rude.
74
We learn that being sad makes others uncomfortable.
75
So, what do we do?
76
We push those feelings down.
77
We keep them hidden.
78
The word hidden is an adjective that means kept out of sight,
79
not easy to find.
80
For example, if you bury a box of treasure in your garden, it is hidden.
81
We bury our true feelings deep in our minds.
82
But just because something is hidden,
83
does not mean it is gone.
84
Many times we try to simply ignore our shadow.
85
To ignore is a verb meaning to pay no attention to someone or something.
86
Imagine your friend is calling your phone,
87
and you watch it ring but you choose not to answer.
88
You ignore the call.
89
When we feel sadness or anger, we often ignore it.
90
We smile and say, I am perfectly fine.
91
Over time, this creates a split in our personality.
92
Your personality is a noun that means all the qualities that make a person who they are.
93
Your sense of humor, your kindness,
94
your shyness, these are all parts of your personality.
95
Think of it like a beautiful recipe.
96
Your personality is the mix of all your ingredients.
97
When we push away a certain trait,
98
it comes back to haunt us as anxiety.
99
A trait is a particular characteristic or quality of a person.
100
For example, patience is a good trait,
101
selfishness is a bad trait.
102
If you hide a trait,
103
like your natural anger, it doesn't just disappear.
104
It goes into the basement of your mind and starts knocking on the door.
105
boom, boom, boom.
106
And that knocking sound?
107
That is anxiety.
108
Your anxiety is often your shadow trying to get your attention.
109
Section 3.
110
The Danger of Avoiding Fears So,
111
why is this an issue?
112
Well, when the shadow knocks on the door,
113
it causes a lot of noise.
114
This brings up an incredibly important point.
115
The more we push our anxious feelings away, the stronger they become.
116
Many people live with a constant feeling of fear.
117
Constant is an adjective that means happening all the time without stopping.
118
For example, if a machine makes a loud noise all day and all night,
119
it is a constant noise.
120
Living with constant worry is exhausting.
121
Because we don't want to feel this way,
122
we do everything we can to avoid it.
123
To avoid is a verb meaning to stay away from someone or something.
124
If there is a big puddle of dirty water on the road,
125
you walk around it to avoid getting your shoes muddy.
126
In our minds, if a thought is scary or sad,
127
we avoid it by watching hours of TV,
128
scrolling on our phones, or working too much.
129
Everything is fine, we say as we check our phones for the hundredth time.
130
But avoiding the feelings only makes things worse.
131
It is like putting a tiny band-aid on a broken arm.
132
It doesn't fix the core problem.
133
The feelings become so uncomfortable that we panic.
134
Uncomfortable is an adjective that means not feeling physically or mentally relaxed.
135
Sitting on a very hard wooden chair for five hours will make you uncomfortable.
136
Feeling like you cannot breathe properly because you are nervous is also extremely uncomfortable.
137
Eventually, this avoidance creates a physical symptom.
138
A symptom is a sign that something is wrong, much like an illness.
139
A cough is a symptom of a cold.
140
A fast heartbeat, sweating, and shaking are symptoms of anxiety.
141
Your body is basically waving a red flag saying,
142
Hey, pay attention to me!
143
You are ignoring something important.
144
The more you avoid, the worse the symptom gets.
145
It is a crazy circle.
146
Section 4.
147
Making peace with your mind.
148
Okay, take a deep breath.
149
We have talked about the alarm system,
150
the shadow, and the dangers of avoiding our feelings.
151
So, what is the solution?
152
How do we stop this cycle?
153
Analytical psychology tells us that the answer is not to fight the anxiety.
154
The answer is to integrate it.
155
We must accept it.
156
To accept is a verb meaning to agree to receive or allow something.
157
When it rains on the day you plan to go to the beach,
158
you have to accept the bad weather.
159
You cannot change it.
160
Instead of fighting your anxiety and saying,
161
I hate feeling this way,
162
you should try to accept it.
163
You can say, I feel anxious right now and that is okay.
164
This helps us find a balance.
165
Balance is a noun meaning a state where different things are equal and in good order.
166
Think of a scale weighing two items perfectly.
167
You need a balance between your rational thoughts and your emotional feelings,
168
and a balance between your light side and your shadow side.
169
Finding this balance is not quick,
170
It is a long process.
171
The word process is a noun that means a series of actions taken to achieve a specific result.
172
Learning a new language like English is a process.
173
It takes time, patience, and practice.
174
Healing your mind is exactly the same,
175
a slow, patient process of understanding yourself.
176
By listening to the message your anxiety is bringing,
177
you can finally overcome it.
178
To overcome is a verb meaning to defeat a problem or succeed in dealing with it.
179
If you have a huge fear of flying but you take a small plane trip anyway,
180
you overcome your fear.
181
You don't make anxiety disappear forever,
182
but you overcome its control over your life.
183
You become the pilot of your own mind.
184
Now, before we wrap up our deep dive into the mind,
185
let's look at three very important life lessons you can take away from this video.
186
1. Your mind is not your enemy.
187
Sometimes, anxiety is a wake-up call to change your life.
188
We have a great idiom in English, a blessing in disguise.
189
This means something that seems bad at first,
190
but is actually a good thing.
191
Your anxiety might seem terrible,
192
but it could be a blessing in disguise if it forces you to rest or change out of a toxic job.
193
Number 2.
194
Don't run from the dark.
195
The idiom here is to face your fears.
196
You cannot become stronger if you always run away.
197
You must face your fears,
198
look at your shadow, and understand what it is trying to tell you.
199
3. Acceptance brings peace.
200
The perfect phrase for this is to make peace with.
201
Stop fighting a war inside your own head.
202
Make peace with your anxiety.
203
Treat it like a concerned friend trying to help you,
204
not an enemy trying to destroy you.
205
And so, we step out of the dusty house of our mind.
206
Understanding ourselves is the greatest journey we will ever take.
