Does anyone have any strategies for making the morning a more gentle, warming up, slow experience? At the moment I find myself waking up in panic and anxiety about what the day holds and my usual anxiety circle clouds my head. What can I do to help this?

Good morning @Former-Member I practiced this routine when I woke up and can definitely feel a difference. Would you be able to let me know the name/link to the TCM doctor you follow as would love to read more from him. Once again thanks for sharing. 4 degrees here this morning so sitting relaxed by the fire having a cup of tea. Have a beautiful day 🙏❤️

Hello @Krishna so glad you benefitted from Jost Sauer's free offerings. I love his work and his advice has changed my life. He is also known as the "lifestyle medicine man" and as you can understand he has somewhat of a small "cult" following if you like to call it that. He has been featured on many news and radio outlets here in Australia
He has more free written advice and videos on his facebook page. Check him out on facebook - Jost Sauer - there are a few listings but click on the one that includes the lifestyle medicine man.
Another thing you can do is hop along to his website www.jostsauer.com and sign up to his free newsletter. The advice on anxiety in the mornings I gave you was uploaded from his newsletter. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. Jost Sauer is the man! 😊

Hi @Thekindone
A little late to the conversation but for me I like to do a morning meditation and just write down my thoughts as is in my mind no matter how silly. Helps me to get focused and may even write some of my goals for the day..
You have a lot of great suggestions so I hope you find something helpful for you 🙂

Hi @Former-Member thanks again for the link to Jost Sauer. He’s running a zoom webinar on Saturday for mental health issues and I’ve just signed up. Really looking forward to it. Still practicing the tapping each morning prior to a meditation and finding it really soothes the soul. 🙏❤️

Thats great @Krishna you will love his presentations. He used to do free Apple podcasts a while back which was hosted by another person. I listened in and learned a lot. He is a fountain of information. You will do well to stick by him as the stuff he shares is on the minute and reflects what most people need right now. Jost has done so much for me. Just build up your organ health as he says and follow his advice. I hope you have a good time at the Zoom meeting, you will love whats on offer! He will awaken your own inner warrior!!! 😁
