Morning Anxiety

Do not get out of bed. Turn your mind off (no thinking allowed)! Lie there and deep breathe into any/all feelings or sensations in your body that might be there for you, self-soothe for 2 minutes, while staying the hell out of your head! 

Always soothe your pain from the outside in, with Heavy Breathing and rubbing with your hand where it feels uncomfortable or painful.

You may use the following mental visualizations to help you not think or attach meaning to anxious feelings, while you’re learning to endure them in the body:

Try to picture purple elephants jumping over a log, huge, orange bunny rabbits hopping out of a hat, blue ocean waves hitting a shoreline, pier pilings, etc. (Choose an image that’s mindless and non-stressful.)

Let’s practice this now: Deep-breathe. With your hand to your body, massage and rub where you're feeling pain or discomfort, and stay the hell out of your head!
