Morning Anxiety: A Meditation To Start Your Day Calmly

For many people, anxiety begins before the day has even started. Thoughts about responsibilities, uncertainty, and what lies ahead can quickly activate the body and mind.
This 10-minute morning meditation uses the ABC approach — Awareness, Breath, and Choice — to help you notice sensations, settle the nervous system, and choose an intention for the day ahead.
You’ll begin by becoming aware of how anxiety feels in the body, use intentional breathing to create steadiness, and select an anchor word or guiding thought to carry with you.
A gentle practice for mornings when you want to begin with more calm, clarity, and presence.
