What to do when you wake up and anxiety hits you

I woke up today and for a split second everything was okay. Then the anxiety hit me. My stomach felt tense and knotted, my shoulders were up around my ears and I haven’t even sat up yet and I felt slightly nauseous. . The list of things that needed to be done or changed or eradicated was immense. I got up and after a few moments remembered that my experience is not created by what is going on in the world around me but by the thoughts I am having about those things. . This made me feel slightly better and reminded me that I have the power to choose. I could choose to continue living in the reality of needing to: * get to the end of my to do list
 * eradicate COVID-19 and infertility 
 * Get the right results back. 
 It reminded me that I could choose to step out of my negative thought loop and so I reached for a technique from my mental tool kit. . This morning I chose Rise Up a new techniques that I created for an Embrace Fertility Method member as she was struggling with the Drop Through version that I share in the course. . I didn’t even sit down or close my eyes to work through this technique I just talked myself through it as I went about my day and after a few minutes found relief. The tension dropped from my body, my mind cleared and my breathing became full and unrestricted. . In this podcast I talk you through the technique and I will be creating a full guided visualisation video of this technique as part of my free five day fertility coaching workshop that I’m running for the 21st of September.
