Morning anxiety is a thing and it kills you more than anything, however, these 8 creative ways can help you in kicking them out of your day.
How good of a feeling it is to wake up in the morning being all excited about your day and life and basically everything around you. Extremely good, right? This one thing can easily make you feel uplifted for the rest of your day and there’s nothing more exciting than this.
However, there are some who wake up feeling all shitty about each and everything in their life, plus, themselves too. And, this is the shittiest feeling that one can have a start off their mornings with. You don’t know what to do in order to get rid of this feeling and start the day like a simple person and no matter what you do the anxiety of it all stays with you.
Even though instances like these make you feel like it is the end of time, it’s not. One has to work a bit harder to shoo them away but it can be done. We have cumulated 8 creative ways through which one can kick-off their morning anxiety. They might seem like a huge task initially but once you get accustomed to it, things get a bit better to handle.
1. Don’t Hassle Your Morning Routine
Give yourself a bit more time to get ready for the day and to get out of that bed. We all know that there’s nothing more tempting than hitting that snooze button, but at times your body needs a relaxing start to the day.
2. Hit That To-Do List
To-Do Lists are one of the best things that you can go for right after you wake up. Try writing down things that you need to do, just after waking up and then get down to do it. It can simply be checking on the grocery or something like putting your clothes in the washer, but doing your denoted work will help you in getting off that anxiety.
3. Start Your Day With Some Exercise
The best way to shoo away your anxiety is by hitting your favourite kind of workout. Be it swimming or boxing or gyming or a simple run, start your day with your favourite kind of exercise and see the benefits it brings with itself.
4. Focus On Your Breathing For Few Minutes
Focusing on your breath while being absolutely quiet is so much more worth than what it simply sounds. This helps you in calming down and getting on to a much clearer mind.
5. Write Everything Down
Sometimes writing whatever you’re feeling helps in getting it out of the system, and right on the paper. It’s extremely calming for the mind and you actually get a chance to go through everything that you’re feeling in clarity.
6. Ditch Coffee
For many, coffee is the next best thing to alarm clocks, in order to wake up in the morning. This makes you dependable on something that is not entirely good for your body and mind, and no one wants that. So, ditching the coffee in order to wake up will eventually lead you to look forward to other ways through which you can entirely wake up, which would be much more healthier and worth doing.
7. Don’t Reach Out For Your Phone
It seems like everyone’s first call to action after waking up is to reach out for their phones to check on social media and messages and other things like that. Try not doing that for one morning and you’ll feel more efficient in getting things done. Do your morning rituals and then hit the social media for seeing what’s happening where and with whom.
8. Stick With It
Once you find your perfect kind of morning routine, just try to stick it for the longest time possible. Routine is important in life in order to get things done on the desired time and they’re more important when you have to do them in order to deal with issues like anxiety.
Try these out see your mornings getting better.
