Over a year ago, I got so anxious about my anxiety that I decided to do something about it. That’s when I started building a morning routine to calm myself down. I didn’t add everything all at once, but here’s what I do every morning now, and I feel so much better for it:

- Walk the dog (this used to be my husband’s job!)
- A refreshing shower with lots of moisturizer
- A few light stretches or simple exercises
- Breakfast
- Write a page of whatever’s on my mind in my journal
- Read at least one page from a book
- Think of one thing I’m grateful for
- Fill out my emotion diary
- Check my personal goals and make sure I’m staying on track

It sounds like a lot, but I’m so used to it that when I skip it (like when I’m traveling), it just doesn’t feel right. This routine has been a game-changer for my anxiety and helps me start the day on the right foot. #photostr #nostr
