What are some ways to relieve morning anxiety?

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Manage anxiety: By learning relaxation skills & learning to modify the thoughts, perceptions & beliefs that trigger your anxiety. Learning to calm your body & your mind is the key. You can learn these skills on your own, but having a mental health professional "coach" you is quicker & more effective. Biofeedback helps learn relaxation skills (www.Bcia.Org & www.Aapb.Org). Entrenched anxiety may require meds.

Exercise: Get plenty of rest. Add exercise or meditation into your morning routine. Both have been proven to help reduce anxiety. Try deep breathing techniques first thing in the morning and orient yourself towards gratitude. Consider creating a plan for the day that will help you get organized and be mindful of your priorities. Finally, psychotherapy can be helpful in teaching coping skills.

Meditation : Meditation and exercise. Also it's important to go to bed thinking positive thoughts and journal any thoughts do have before bed or if you wake up with them. This will put them away and stop the rumination in your head.
