If I experience that cortisol rush before it's time to wake up, I'll roll over to my other side to go back to sleep. If that's not enough, I'll get up, use the bathroom, yawn a few times, take a sip of water, and lie down again. Perhaps take a few deep breaths and rub the backside of my ears to activate the vagus nerve. That usually does it!
For me, I can break the cycle by imitating the way children wake up. 😊 They always take their time and just look around the room or the window for a while. Just being and observing the world gently. And waiting for the moment my body likes to start moving. 👍
I have high cortisol levels. The mornings are terrible. Tight muscles, nausea, panic, shaking and sometimes a lot of crying. The most difficult thing to do is move.
So sorry to hear that. We hope this video helps. You can also read our blog post on the same topic: www.re-origin.com/articles/how-to-break-the-cycle-of-morning-anxiety Breaking the cycle of morning anxiety is possible. You're strong and you can get past this, we believe in you!
I hope you’re moving out of your high cortisol mornings! Sending good vibes your way!
Mornings have been tough at my house too lately. I’ve been trying to look for the upside of my anxiety and have found a few positive things. One thing I know for sure is that I’ve gotten through this before and I know it’s possible again.
May you also find that possibility too! 😊
Same here 😞
Yes
Same here. Im working towards recovery doing brain training.
My new mantra is, my symptoms are here to serve my growth. Especially in the morning when I do feel hopeless and stressed out because of the sleepless night I had before.
Prayer, Praise and Worship early in the morning really helps me.
Helps me too !! 🙌🙌
....Not helpful for non religious people.
I suppressed that cortisol wake-up call for 55 years with drugs and sleeping. WOW it is powerful! If I do not get up at 5, it feels like I am going to have a panic attack. I thought it was anxiety .. but it's a friendly wake-up call for productive people, a thing I never Knew! and eye feel like a New Gnu now that I Know! :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been almost katatonic in the mornings, getting up
but then back to bed and laying completely still for a long time because of a horrific feeling of...I don't even know how to name it. Dread and nothingness. Then I slowly start to move my fingers and it lets me find my way back to existence.
I am going to try doing exercises as soon as I get up. *This is energy, and the energy wants to be used.* Gotta catch that yoga mammoth or walk to the waterhole supermarket first thing in the morning.
Your advice has been most useful. Keep it up. I am in my80’s. MA has only gotten worse.
Increasing my magnesium levels helped me with those morning rushes.
Hi do you take your magnesium in the morning or at night, hope you don’t mind me asking, ❤
Was expecting generic corporate obvious stuff but there's actually non-obvious unique concepts here
Skip to second half for solutions to higher morning cortisol
One point I liked - "use the higher morning cortisol stress into your body (eg walk), or it rises into your brain (as overthinking)"
I very much agree with what you said about a daily routine no matter how small. I have been getting up and walk outside and come back to bed and meditate. And I have found it very helpful!! Thank you so much!
I pray before sleep and pray first thing.
That my Lord is my shepherd and i should not fear.
Then i do 15 mins exercise and 3 mins deep breathing
I bought a beautiful crystal(14.00 on Amazon or at Target glass water carafe with the lid as the cup and it makes me feel so happy when I look at it and every morning I sit on my bedside and stretch while I look over and appreciate how pretty it is and then I pour myself a glass of water and drink it before moving on. So simple, so pleasant and I look forward to it. If I am struggling with not wanting to get up I will visualize myself doing so and getting in shower or headed down to make my coffee and usually within a few moments of this it triggers my dopamine reward system and I want to get up.
A little stretch here and there gets my brain set.
Wow...a solution that actually works. God bless you.
Thankyou so much❤
Why does my anxiety go away in the evenings, but come back in the morning,
Is it a sign that I am slowly getting over my grieving.
Hi Gordon. Changes in anxiety levels can be influenced by various factors, including circadian rhythms, stressors, and emotional processing.
I have that too. My theory (for myself) is that I have high expectations of myself for the day. Maybe even expectations from others. But the later in the day it gets, the less is expected of me.
I don't know if that helps you at all.
I get woken up about 4to 5 am by what seems to be e internal panic button, I can control and I tremble and I’m so very tired because I can never get enough sleep so I’m constantly exhausted, then I can’t function properly and calm down, I’ve tried breathing exercises but that makes me so lightheaded I feel even worse, it’s controlling my life, my therapist calls it my inner childhood trauma, but the therapy just seems to leave me in fright /freeze mode continuously, I feel I’m a hopeless case, we don’t seem to have the trained therapist here in the uk like America does, our system seems to be one approach suits all. So if it doesn’t work for you then you’re left feeling a failure which makes it worse
I can relate to that. Live in the UK as well by the way.
@@MichiZaus I hope you manage to find some help to put you back on the right track and hopefully find peace and sleep well , take care 💕
When you are in the grip of a cortisol spike i have found absolutely nothing i have ever done to counteract it has worked. Despitexercise, deep breaths , walking the dog etc your morning starts off miserable and rarely improves. I feel it physically and have little strength in my legs. It has been a default for a decade and its bloody awful
Hi wendy, trauma can do that to you. And therapy often makes it worse to start with. I had great effects with EMDR, did you try that?
@@esthermarianne5685 hi no I haven’t tried that therapy, I don’t know of anyone in my area that does it, but I will try and find out more, thank you for your kind response, 💕
Lots of good tips-thank you! I also experience morning anxiety especially on work days. When I wake up I don’t like to lay in bed. I get up and do a ten minute walk around my kitchen and living room. Then I do about 50 modified burpees. I usually follow that up with a 5 minute meditation. After that I give myself plenty of time to eat my breakfast, get dressed and head off to work.
something that has taken me some time and some loosing my grip on rigidity to come to I've realize has emerged it is this: my bed is in the corner of my room so I can get out of bed, pull my covers half way back, go to the washroom, and then get back in bed with me near by journal and mediation pillow and sit with my back against the wall and I notice my back against the wall, and I pause, and then I notice a vagal break natural deep breath and then I orient around the room and I note in my mind or on paper anything that is neutral, soothing, supportive or delightful and then I also check in with my energy and maybe set an intention or just acknowledge myself for making space and doing this act of care and love for myself
Perfect timing for this video as I've been experiencing this problem since a viral infection and had recently read an article about cortisol and waking up with anxiety or panic. This nutritionist's solution is L-glutamine but there are good tools given here as usual.
Discovering your channel yesterday was such a HaPpY find!!! I never realized that “morning anxiety” was a thing… but it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the great content 🤗
I massage my ears that stimulates the vagus nerve and also do som EFT tapping.
My dad is a retired acupuncturist and you have two pressure points on your ear lung on the bottom where it joins the face,
Thank you for sharing! ❤
I wake up several times a night and in the morning with a racing heart, feeling startled like something terrible happened. It makes me feel SO tired. My days are spent craving sleep. I hate waking up so much. Sometimes I skip work because I just can’t face the day after starting it like that, but then I don’t get paid. It’s incredibly frustrating.
I found that sleeping on one side with pillows against both sides of my body to hold me in place reduces that feeling a little bit. And doing at least 30 minutes of low intensity exercise after waking up also helps reduce tiredness for the first few hours of the day. The trick is, overcoming my constant exhaustion and dread to get out of bed early enough for that. 99% of the time I don’t.
Self massage with oils and neck rubs are my favourite morning practices 😊
I don’t have saw that stuff on my mind when I wake up I just have frustration and exhaustion from being awake most of the night and having horrendous nightmares that I feel like I have to deal with that trauma every single day from a different kind of nightmare it’s just utter exhaustion
Beside the morning anxiety, I also have problems with waking up early, typically 5am. While getting up and going on a walk is a good idea to calm nerves, I’d like to get back to sleep for an hour or two.
Any ideas relaxing enough to fall back asleep and boot the anxiety?
Repetion compulsion is what i have. Most out of it - not think yourself out of it.
Another great video 👍🏼
Worst thing for me is that it happens at 2am-3am. Wakes me up. 😩
Try some relaxation techniques you can do in bed-maybe stretching or progressive muscle relaxation can restore a sense of calm so you fall asleep again (here are some other suggestions from Katie czcams.com/users/shortsVJJzMOvFPxk?feature=share)
Thank you 😊
What about diet ?
Sing!
It's horrible. It is painful.
The morning is awful
It’s the worse
@@deniserouthierledoux8133 I found out I have high blood pressure ended up with a mini stroke just last month they put me on beta blockers. It has helped with the morning tremendously. I’m not a doctor but if you see one, you might wanna bring that up.
I had a mini also in March I’m on bp meds now still uncontrolled bless you
Good morning! I luckily found this video this morning. I use to get this anxiety a lot more in the past. I thought I was going insane and thought it would lead to panic attack. I’m glad I have a better understanding of why this happens. And reading everyone’s comments is a blessing to. Hope we all can figure out a different regime in the morning. 🌞🐓🥱🙆🏻😊♥️
