I don't know how I manage to lose my posts before I can send it.
I won't attempt to rewrite the "book" I was previously typing. Besides, you probably have researched morning anxiety and solutions for avoiding a lot of it.
I'll give some highlights. No alcohol before bedtime the previous evening. No cafinated drinks in the morning, as these can be triggers.
Give yourself more time in the mornings, to reduce stress. Instead of the usual loud blast of an alarm clock, have music or nature sounds programmed to gently wake you.
To battle the low blood sugar, have a healthy snack, (prepard the previous night), waiting on the bedside table. No high sugar drinks or food for "breakfast", b/c it causes a rebound in blood sugar. Have a protein drink, if you can't handle food to chew. If you can't stand the taste, you might try drinking through a straw. It helps to bypass some of those taste buds and get nutrition into your system.
Some people find that walking or some other forms of exercise for 15-20 minutes can have positive results. Listening to music that gets the blood pumping can be a source of positive energy. Having a list of personal affirmations to read, might help you to be more resolved to begin your day on a positive note.
Facing a new morning is not the time to mentally rehash M issues, or anything that causes stress. Place your personal problems on the shelf to deal with later. Be your own best friend as you are getting prepared to go out to face your world.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
