Reduce Morning Anxiety

Morning anxiety is unfortunately quite common for persons who experience discomfort and displeasure at being forced to face a day of work, studies or interactions they feel unprepared for coping with. It is an extremely stressful experience, and can frequently lead to you beginning your day on a negative note. It is never easy to deal with morning anxiety but it is important to do your best, as a life lived in fear is a life half lived.

Steps

 * 1) Wake up earlier. Several studies have shown that people who sleep for more than 9 hours are often beset with issues such as anxiety, stress, obesity, depression and several other health related issues. Therefore, in order to avoid health issues, it is important to sleep for 7 to 8 hours each night but not longer. Try to turn in earlier so that you will be able to sleep well and rise earlier morning before others awaken. In this way you will get plenty of time for breakfast and a chance to finish several morning chores at a sensible pace, rather than rushing about.
 * 2) Exercise daily. Sparing time for exercise is never easy as it's often easier to find excuses to stay away from it. Yet, doing exercise is the best way to reduce morning anxiety. It helps to increase energy levels, provides a boost to mood and improves your overall health. It is not necessary that you go to gym or visit a park to jog. You can do simple exercises at home, such as yoga, sit-ups and jumping rope. Or, take the dog for an early morning walk each day, as spending time with pets will help to reduce your anxiety levels.
 * 3) Eat a healthy breakfast. The most important thing that contributes in reducing morning anxiety is by having healthy breakfast. A healthy breakfast can help you maintain energy and stay active all day long and can enhance the productivity of your mind and body. Try to include nutritious options in your breakfast, such as eggs, oatmeal, fresh juices, fruit smoothies or pancakes.
 * 4) *Also try to include plenty of green vegetables as an important portion of your daily diet, as these contain many health benefits for you.

Tips

 * Try to make every possible effort that will help you reduce morning anxiety. Always try to think and stay positive as it helps a lot in improving your mood.
