How to minimize morning anxiety
Hello!
Good I found you!
Today, on my way to the office (which I walk because I love the coolness of September mornings), I remembered an old client who was complaining about his mornings and that he found them cold and ugly.
He told me that, simply, he hates them because then all his worries appear, everything he was supposed to do and didn't do, with extremely many details, and this tires him extremely much.
So the moment he woke up for him the nightmare would begin. It was an avalanche of thoughts, emotions, worries that disarmed him and led him to inaction.
That's why I thought it would be good to share with you some ways to reduce the anxiety that can arise in the morning.
It is important to remember that not all people who have anxiety disorders feel this, some show an increase in anxiety towards evening hours.
So if the story sounds familiar and you find yourself in it, below are some ways to reduce morning anxiety.
