The Biggest Mistake Anxiety Sufferers Make When They Wake Up

The Biggest Mistake Anxiety Sufferers Make Upon Waking Up Usually Leads To The Entire Day Going Rough.

Did you know that your brain is much more plastic and open to changes and direction within the first 30 minutes upon waking up. The problem becomes when an anxiety sufferer fails to recognize how ideal this time is  in their transition towards a new identity, and a new reality.

The biggest mistake anxiety sufferers make is that they wake up each and every morning and run the same thoughts (and therefore mental images), words, and actions as if they’re on autopilot. The neural connections in the brain have been so well attuned to doubt, fear, and self sabotage that it’s no surprise they keep running into the same emotions and circumstances in their lives.

Adding to the debilitating mistake of not recognizing and changing directions in thinking and perceiving in the morning, the other mistake anxiety sufferers make is that they believe change isn’t possible. They’ve grown up in an environment that seeks comfort, safety, and sameness that it restricts their potentials throughout life.

This is what is commonly referred to as core beliefs. Deeply engrained ideas stemming from a persons authority figures that linger within the subconscious mind of a person. These core beliefs come and go like whispers, and they sabotage any advancements in thinking, perceiving, and acting that a person makes.

Think about the guy who fights hard for positive change, learns everything he can and applies that learning, but never seems to make much progress in any aspect of his life. You’re looking at a man with deeply held core beliefs.

Going back to the original idea for this post though and the biggest mistake anxiety sufferers make, let’s take a look at a few changes we can begin implementing within the first 30 minutes upon waking that will give your rational mind the upper hand for the day ahead:

Mentally:

Upon waking we want to make sure that we begin listening to both sides of every critical story your mind may be spewing at you. For instance you may hear voices in your head that say “I’ll never overcome this fatigue I’m currently feeling” or “I’ll never get that raise I’ve been working so hard for at work.” When these ideas show up make sure to counter them with ideas that are supposed by evidence behind them that demand the opposite.

Emotionally:

Upon waking up the best thing you can do is take control of your posture and breathing patterns. Holding a posture of confidence in front of the mirror each morning as well as recognizing everything you love about what you see in the mirror has been scientifically proven to relax your nervous system 20 – 40% more.

Combine this with a slow breathing pattern where the focus is on lengthening your exhale (which promotes the rest and digest response over the fight or flight response) and you have a powerful combo for clear thinking.

Physically:

Physically the best thing you can to overcome the biggest mistake anxiety sufferers make in the morning is to simply get moving. Whether that is a yoga session through a home video, a walk around your area (preferably in a naturistic surrounding). Do what’s fun for you and something that you can maintain daily. A 20 minute walk where your focus is deeply associated with everything external rather than internal will go a long way towards your inner peace.

Energetically:

One of the most powerful ways a person can consciously create their day ahead rather than fall victim to past limited patterns is to visualize the day ahead. With visualization comes the need for emotion. To feel what you see happening in your mind sends a direct message to your subconscious mind that it’s happening as if it were in the physical world.

Start the day off by visualizing hour by hour how you would want your ideal day to go. See what you see, hear what you hear, and feel what you feel as you create the ideal you going through the ideal experience of the day ahead.
