Trying to accept

[SeekingCalm]

Many books and podcasts tell me that you need to recognize you have anxiety and don't try to fight it. The term they used was "accept". Accept that in the morning cortisol levels are high and you are going to feel shitty. Don't over analyze it, just try to move on with your day. I have been trying this approach, feels like I drank to much coffee but attempting to remain still.

SeekingCalm,

I have been trying this as well after seeing some posts on here. I can see this method being beneficial, but I believe it takes time to retrain the brain before acceptance can happen. I am going to keep trying, and I am hoping it will work for you too.

Total acceptance is difficult, especially when you feel like crap. I try to make it at least a draw where im not adding to the anxiety, let it come and go as it needs to

Mornings are my worst time. When I'm lying in bed, dreading getting up, I just keep telling myself, "It's okay, it's okay... it's going to be okay."

I've managed to take the edge off my anxiety by using positive, gentle, encouraging self-talk.
