Rise, Relax, and Rest: Your Daily Rituals for Anxiety Relief

October 9, 2023

Daily rituals for anxiety relief are important for people who feel like they are randomly trying everything to heal anxiety. These daily rituals will use up little to no energy resources which will allow for more energy to be saved up for the day ahead. Enjoy the episode my friends!

Welcome to this episode of the Anxiety Healing Podcast

I’m your host, and today I want to take you on a journey to discover how to organize your day for anxiety healing. If you’ve ever found yourself confused about the best approach to managing your anxiety throughout the day, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too, and I know how frustrating it can be.

In the morning, I recommend focusing on lightness and laughter (this morning anxiety YouTube video will guide you). It’s easy to wake up and immediately start worrying about your symptoms or how your day will go. But instead, try to find moments of lightness and laughter. You can start with laughter practices like laughter yoga or EFT tapping exercises. These practices may seem unusual, but they can help change your perspective and release tension.

Mirror work is another powerful tool against morning anxiety

When you look in the mirror and laugh unconditionally, you may discover hidden fears and traumas that have been holding you back. Embrace these moments of self-discovery.

As the day progresses into the afternoon, it’s essential to remind yourself to rest and digest. Often, our minds race with thoughts, and we find ourselves in a constant state of overthinking and analysis. To counter this, try humming, a simple yet effective technique to stimulate your vagus nerve and calm anxiety. Prayer can also be helpful, but remember that it’s a collaboration, not a plea of victimhood.

Watch your physical speed in the afternoon. Anxiety often makes us rush, so consciously slow down. Deep breathing exercises can help soothe your nerves, and expressing safety toward your inner child can be a reassuring practice.

In the evening, focus on preparing for sleep and not on stopping anxiety

Avoid stimulating activities like action-packed movies or going out too late. Instead, opt for calming practices such as Epsom salt baths to boost magnesium levels, sipping on holy basil tea, and engaging in meditation. Simple meditations can guide you toward a peaceful night’s sleep.

Remember, this healing journey is not rigid. It’s intuitive, and you should listen to your inner guidance as you progress. Your healing path may vary from day to day, and that’s perfectly okay.

As you embrace these daily practices, you’ll find yourself falling in love with your self-care routine and, ultimately, your anxiety healing journey. It’s about putting your heart into the process and enjoying the journey. You are more than anxiety, and I believe in your ability to overcome it.

Thank you for tuning into this episode on daily rituals for anxiety relief, and remember, you’re not alone on this path to healing. Love you all, and I’ll see you in the next anxiety guy podcast episode. Bye-bye.

Power Quotes From This Episode

  • “So you may go through a certain chapter and overcome the fear related to that chapter and move on to the next chapter where you’ll have to listen to your intuition to see what would be best for that particular chapter.”
  • “So you wake up in the morning,  focus on lightness and laughter because when we wake up in the morning, we tend to take our healing too seriously.  Oh, what do I have to do now?  Oh,  are the symptoms there?  How do I go about the shower?  Should I sing?  Should I dance?  Should I feel light?  How am I going to drive?  What should I focus on?  Forget all that.  The morning is about lightness and laughter.” 
  • “Prayer is fantastic as long as you don’t feel like you are the victim during your prayer. You are in a collaboration,  right,  with the entity or the energy that you are praying with.” 
  • “So evening is about preparation for sleep and you want to start enjoying these suggestions such as Epsom salt baths.  Magnesium plays a very important role in the healing of the sensitivity and the boosting of the cortisol in relation to adrenaline and Epsom salt baths are fantastic.”

    The key to dealing with anxiety and having a headstart in life is a solid winning routine. “Wash, rinse, repeat”. Routine = consistency = discipline = results. Bye bye anxiety. Or so I hope. I can’t get past 3 days of doing the same thing

      Well simplified, thank you, many anxiety sufferers will benefit from reading such an example around anxiety healing. Much love.

  2. “When you look in the mirror and laugh unconditionally, you may discover hidden fears and traumas that have been holding you back. Embrace these moments of self-discovery.”

    I once heard my pastor say something really similar about laughter. This is really amazing
