Understanding Morning Anxiety

Morning anxiety is often perceived as a formidable challenge, but its essence is rooted in the mind's tendency to label physical sensations as anxiety. The experience of morning anxiety is less about the sensations themselves and more about the thoughts and interpretations attached to them. As the mind awakens, it populates the initial quiet of consciousness with thoughts about the day ahead and unresolved issues from the past, creating a mental loop that can lead to increased anxiety. Recognizing that the label of anxiety is merely a thought can shift the perspective, revealing that what truly exists are just sensations and energy within the context of life.
