How to Get Over Anxiety, Permanently!
If you’ve ever thought, “When will my anxiety finally be gone?” , you’re not alone. Most of us who walk the path of healing and self-mastery reach a point where we just want it to stop.
But here’s the truth: you never get over anxiety. You learn to master it. You learn to flow with it. You learn to ride the pendulum as it swings between peace and chaos, and through that rhythm, you find your freedom.
The Pendulum: Understanding the Nature of Your Emotional Waves
Every human being lives inside an energetic pendulum, swinging between highs and lows, excitement and calm, connection and withdrawal. When the pendulum swings high, we feel electric, inspired, motivated, even blissful. When it swings low, we can feel anxious, uncertain, lonely, or heavy.
Both are part of being alive.
The problem is not the swing. It’s our resistance to it.
When you resist your low moments, you label them as “bad.” When you cling to your high moments, you create attachment and fear they’ll fade. The secret is to meet both ends of the swing with the same love, curiosity, and compassion.
“When the waves are high, enjoy them. When they’re low, meet them with love, curiosity, and an ear to hear what the body needs through breath.”
That is the essence of emotional mastery.
Anxiety Isn’t a Sign Something’s Wrong — It’s a Sign You’re Alive
Many people believe that anxiety means something is broken. That belief keeps them stuck in the cycle of fixing, fighting, or bypassing their own humanity.
“I thought I was over physical anxiety.”
How many times have you told yourself that? As if it were a disease to recover from rather than a rhythm to attune to.
Here’s the truth: you are human. You incarnated to feel. To experience the full spectrum of what it means to be alive.
There’s no “getting over it.” There’s only learning to surrender to it and flow with it.
As Bruce Lee famously said,
“Be formless, shapeless, like water. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
When you stop fighting your anxiety, you start listening to it. It becomes a messenger, not a monster.
The False Expectation That Keeps You Suffering
The expectation that anxiety will one day disappear keeps millions of people locked in self-judgment.
Each time anxiety returns, you might think, “I must be doing something wrong.” Or worse, “I’m not healed yet.”
But that’s a misunderstanding of healing. Healing doesn’t mean you never feel pain. It means you stop being ruled by it.
The false expectation that peace means the absence of discomfort only amplifies your suffering. Real peace means you can hold discomfort without collapsing. You can breathe inside the storm. You can witness it pass.
That’s self-mastery.
The Power of Focus: Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows
The training moving forward is simple, but not easy:
Know your power.
Through your focus and attention, you have the ability to maintain peace. When your focus turns outward — to other people, external validation, or circumstances, anxiety spikes. When you focus inward, on your breath, your body, and the present moment, peace returns.
Let’s use a real example:
“Focus on your abuser and you get anxiety and fear. Focus on your inner home and the present moment, and you find peace and creativity.”
That contrast is your proof. You are not powerless. You are the master, not the victim.
Your Nervous System Isn’t Broken — It’s Speaking
Anxiety is your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do: protect, alert, and regulate. When you feel that rush of energy, the shaking, the tight chest, it’s your body communicating.
Ask it:
What do you need right now?
Is this energy asking to move, rest, or release?
Can I breathe with you instead of resisting you?
Every time you respond with curiosity instead of judgment, your body learns safety. And that’s when anxiety begins to transform.
Nothing Is Permanent — Including Anxiety
It can feel like anxiety lasts forever when you’re in it. But the truth is, everything in life moves. Nothing is permanent. Nothing is forever.
The only constant is the consciousness that witnesses it all.
There is nothing safe to attach to except your higher awareness, the home you build and nurture within. That’s where true freedom begins.
When you stop trying to find safety in external people or conditions, you stop reinforcing anxiety’s illusion.
How to “Get Over” Anxiety by Mastering It
Let’s redefine “getting over” anxiety.
You don’t get over it by suppressing it.
You don’t get over it by distracting yourself from it.
You get over it by building a relationship with it.
Here’s how to begin that mastery:
1. Stop labeling your emotions as good or bad
When you say “this is bad,” your nervous system tenses. When you say “this is energy,” it softens.
Neutral language transforms experience.
Try this:
Instead of “I’m anxious,” say “I’m feeling energy move.”
Instead of “I’m triggered,” say “Something in me is calling for love.”
2. Use your breath to translate energy
The breath is your language of regulation.
When you feel activated:
Inhale gently through the nose, expanding the belly.
Exhale twice as long through the mouth, releasing sound.
Repeat until you feel your body settle.
Your breath says to your body, “We are safe now.”
3. Strengthen your attention muscle
Discipline your mind to stay present. Meditation isn’t about eliminating thoughts; it’s about noticing them without identification.
Each time you redirect your focus from worry to presence, you strengthen your inner authority. This is how masters are made, not through control, but through awareness.
4. Build your inner home
Your inner home is your sanctuary, the place within you that no one can touch.
You build it through daily practices of stillness, breath work, journaling, or prayer. You reinforce it by choosing solitude over stimulation, reflection over reaction.
When your nervous system knows there’s a safe home within, it no longer clings to external ones.
5. Practice unconditional self-acceptance
When you meet yourself with love in every state, anxious, peaceful, inspired, or numb, you dissolve resistance. The more you love each version of yourself, the faster the pendulum calms.
Remember: mastery isn’t perfection. It’s acceptance.
You Are the Master, Not the Victim
You were never meant to be free from emotion. You were meant to be free within it.
Anxiety will visit again. That’s okay. Let it.
Each time it arrives, it gives you another chance to practice sovereignty, to choose focus, breath, and love. To remind yourself:
“I am the master of my energy. I am safe within myself. I am home.”
Nothing can take that from you.
Why “Getting Over Anxiety” Is Really About Remembering Who You Are
The more you awaken, the more you realize: anxiety is not your enemy. It’s a mirror. It shows you where you’ve forgotten your power. It calls you back home.
Every trigger, every tight chest, every overthinking spiral is a reminder to return, to your body, to your breath, to your awareness.
Because at your core, you are consciousness witnessing energy. You are awareness, watching the pendulum swing. And when you live from that place, anxiety can’t control you.
A Simple Daily Practice for Self-Mastery
Morning: Sit still. Breathe. Say to yourself: “Today, I meet every wave with love and curiosity.”
Throughout the day: When anxiety arises, pause. Breathe. Ask: “What is this energy asking for?”
Evening: Reflect. What moments today did I meet with love? Which ones with fear? What did I learn about my power?
This simple practice rewires your nervous system for peace — not because you’ve eliminated anxiety, but because you’ve learned to flow with it.
Final Thoughts: The Dance of Being Alive
Getting over anxiety isn’t the goal. Integrating it is.
The pendulum will swing. The waves will rise and fall. You will feel moments of chaos and moments of calm. But the more you meet them with love, curiosity, and breath, the less power they hold over you.
You came here to live, to feel, to evolve.
You are not broken. You are becoming whole.
You are not a victim. You are a self-master in training.
You don’t get over anxiety.
You become the water that carries it.
You become the home it can safely move through.
That’s how you rise. That’s how you heal. That’s how you get free.
