M.,

Yes, it certainly can. Have you tried doing your coping skills that were recommended before starting your day...even doing them before you attempt to get out of bed?

I Really think that it will make a difference if you do.

"People underestimate the power of those few minutes before we get out of bed and rush into our day," says Vyda Bielkus, co-founder of Boston's Health Yoga Life. "In those moments, we can set up some clear intentions and choices."

Yogi poses you can do without getting out of bed:

When I find my morning anxiety is high, I take the to practice some of these poses.   Anything that will help reduce morning anxiety.

Thanks for the Yogi poses, stkitt, they are greatly appreciated. I will most definitely try the Corpse Pose before bedtime tonight.

Hello stkitts, I did do the Corpse Pose before bed last night and the results were quite positive, insofar as I slept soundly all through the night. Regarding the Fish Pose; I'm not as flexible as I once was so it is something I will have to gradually work towards achieving. Thanks again!

So Misty,

Did you try those exercises for when you wake up and feel anxious?

dear mindy, i was wondering if you had a little something to eat and drink, like a small fruit juice and abiscuit, before you even get out of bed, this would help with your blood sugar levels. wait ten minutes after eating and drinking, and of course practicing all the coping skills that the others keep suggesting, then get out of bed and see how you feel. please let me know if this helps, blessings

Merrida. I tryed them but they still don't help. Any ideas ? Misty.

Misty,

The exercises in the Resources section are tools which we need to practice and do every day, and it takes a while for us to master control of them. Or at least get them to a manageable state. They cannot be done just once and result in a "cure."

If you're patient, and practice these exercises a few times every day, you'll get the hang of it. They may not have worked for you right away because you're so anxious for something immediate to happen.

...great point by Merrida...very true.

.a.Also, these are just a handful of suggestions...and although they are good ones...they may not work for everyone.

Therefore, it is good practice to find for yourself what does work!

There are many books such as CBT workbooks that are very effective, and can start your day on a positive note.

I checked out just about every book that was available at my library on the subject of A/P managment.

I took what seems helpful/applicable to me (made notes!!) and essentially created my own self-help program.

Getting invested in your own recovery is often the key and turning point in our journey. Only we can do this for ourselves, so find that motivation and give yourself the greatest gift possible...healing! :)

You can do this!
