Waking up anxious
-
Is it possible to wake up joyful/grateful/excited to be alive? If so, what’s the secret? I vaguely remember this being the case as a child but for decades I’ve woken up anxious/worried/distraught over the responsibilities and maladies of life. Where i live, who I’m with, what my day looks like - nothing seems to really affect this experience. It’s a tough way to start the day.
PS - sometimes these feelings are accompanied by discomfort or simply sensations/movement in the gut, and sometimes it’s just a general heaviness of the body with anxious thoughts

Sleeping in total darkness, lowering emf exposure as much as possible during sleep, airplane mode and turning off your phone, turning off your bedroom electricity and ceiling light on circuit breaker, being as warm as as possible during your sleep as long as its isnt unconfortable, if you sleep on matress and you sleep on back position or stomach 3 quarter side position, sleeping with no pillow for optimal energy flow to the head, using pillow can be better if you sleep on true lateral position, not stomach or back, sleeping with windows open for fresher air. Eating foods that make you feel less negative emotions. Sleeping in total dark wth low emf exposure can be big big to feel everything you mentionned, specifically if you avoid foods that overly screw you

Hi,
I see several clues ... I'd begin by reading RP's articles on thyroid, stress, and hormones. I'm not saying it's in the head; I say sth influences how you feel and that we can probably manage it or try to do so, at least.
If you don't understand sth, come back and ask what it does imply.
You'll have to confirm all that with a therapist, telling him what to do / how to orientate. Open-minded, of course. Difficult to find, I know.Ray PEAT Ph.D

When coming back, we'll need more info:
Transit - feeling - energy - menu on 3 days - pills ? - pathology - etc.
Separate the facts from the feelings (2 parts). A kind of log could help too to see evolution. -
Thanks so much for the reply. Much of this I already do but there’s certainly some things I could tweak

honestly for me having good breakfast cereal or pop tart type things works for me
