Eliminate Your Anxiety With Your New Morning Routine

Anxiety can deeply affect your daily life, making it difficult to focus, feel motivated, or enjoy the little things.

One of the most effective ways to combat anxiety is by establishing a morning routine that prepares you for the day ahead. By consistently starting your day with a series of calming and empowering activities, you’re essentially putting on your armor - ready to face whatever challenges come your way.

We've designed you a new routine to help you start the day off strong.

To make this routine a lasting part of your life, consistency is key. Start small by integrating one new habit at a time, gradually building on this foundation. Whilst it's always great to try new things, if something in this routine doesn't resonate with you - that's ok. Only add the elements that you feel contribute in a positive way to your well-being.

Over time, this daily ritual will become second nature, you'll start to see a reduction in your anxiety fist thing in the morning and it will continuously set you up for a great rest of your day.

YOUR NEW ROUTINE FOR

Managing Anxiety

5 Minutes Square Breathing

When you wake up, before you start doom scrolling on your phone, head over to our favourite Square Breathing timer on YouTube here and take just five minutes to engage in this calming practice commonly known as Square or Box breathing, which is a breathing technique in which you inhale, hold, exhale, and hold again, each for equal counts - typically 4-5 seconds each.

This rhythmic breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and increasing oxygen flow to the brain, enhancing focus and mental clarity.

Incorporating square breathing into your morning routine is a fantastic way to set a positive tone for the day and calm your nervous system for the day ahead.

Daily Affirmations

The easiest way to form new habits is by tagging them on to something you already do on a daily basis. As you brush your teeth this morning, take a moment to look yourself in the mirror and confidently repeat some positive affirmations back to yourself.

The first time you do this, you might feel a bit silly, however it's been proven that this practice not only reinforces positive self-talk, but also sets a tone of self-empowerment and gratitude.

By affirming your goals and strengths, you can cultivate a mindset that fosters resilience and motivation. For some affirmation inspiration, check out The Mål Paper Affirmations Card Deck here and start every day on a more positive note!
