    Wake Up Less Anxious | False vs True Anxiety

    Is It a Disorder… or Just a Signal? In this episode of Wake Up Less Anxious, Jim dives into the eye-opening difference between false anxiety and true anxiety—inspired by the book The Anatomy of Anxiety. What if your anxious feelings aren't a mental disorder, but a sign that your body or soul needs something? Jim shares personal stories and reflections on how physical imbalances (like poor sleep, dehydration, or blood sugar crashes) can mimic anxiety—and how real, soul-level disconnection signals something deeper. False anxiety is physical and fixable—caused by things like sugar crashes, nicotine withdrawal, or doomscrollingTrue anxiety points to deeper issues—like disconnection from values, purpose, or communityKnowing the difference helps you stop spiraling and start listening to your bodyCuriosity and compassion shift you from reactive to proactiveSometimes anxiety is not a glitch—it’s a compass This episode is for anyone feeling hijacked by anxiety and looking for a clearer, kinder way forward.
