The Anxious Girl's Morning Routine
A morning routine customised for the anxious girlies, for the kind of mornings where you're already anxious before you're properly awake (lol, also known as every day!) I promise no 5am alarms, crazy workout routines, cold plunges and needing to find an extra 5 hours in the day to complete. Just a realistic start to the day for nervous systems that hate surprises.
Every morning routine guide I've ever read assumes you wake up ready. Full of potential. Eager to seize the day.
Mine assumes you wake up, remember three things you forgot to worry about yesterday, and lie very still for a moment hoping today will be different.
This is the routine for the second kind of morning.
Not a miracle morning. Not a reinvention. Just a sequence of small things, in an order that matters, that give your nervous system enough time and space to settle before the day starts asking things of it. That's the whole brief. And it works: not every day, not dramatically, but consistently enough that the mornings I do some version of this are genuinely different from the ones I don't.
Built over years of trial and error, a lot of abandoning things that looked good on paper and felt wrong in practice, and a hard-won understanding that a routine that only works on good days isn't really a routine.
What's inside:
Why mornings are physiologically harder for anxious people (the cortisol spike, explained simply)
The first ten minutes (what to do, and crucially what not to do, before anything else)
The full routine framework (movement, warmth, stillness, the mental download, and a guided meditation )
The condensed version (for the days when everything goes sideways before 7am)
A fill-in page to build your own version( because your morning needs to work for your life, not mine)
Not a miracle morning. Just a better ratio of hard to okay. Which, some days, is everything.
