I just thought I would share this new routine I have been trying out.

So my anxiety is always the worst in the morning, and it doesn't help I was up till 4am last night.

So I opened my eyes and looked around my room.

I breathed in for a count of 4. Breathed out for a count of 4.

I did this repetitively until I felt more calm. Then I went through my list of 5.

Say it out loud.

5 things you can see.

4 things you can touch.

3 things you can hear.

2 things you can smell.

1 thing you can taste.

If you can get up and out from that do it. If not, repeat those steps again.
