Morning anxiety can feel like your body hits the panic switch as soon as you wake up. You’re feeling feelings of impending doom, heart palpitations, and/or panic attacks. Sometimes it feels like you’ve been hit by a truck. 

I know how convincing that can be. Because I’ve lived through that loop myself. 

So what I want you to know is that nothing’s wrong with your body. It’s a sensitized nervous system reacting to a normal cortisol rise as if there’s danger.

In this episode, I explain why this happens and what actually helps your system reset.

I talk about:

  • what the cortisol awakening response really is 
  • how a sensitized nervous system misreads it 
  • why it's not a good idea to fight the sensations 
  • the practice that teaches your body safety again

Tune in to learn how to end the morning battles you never signed up for.

Key Takeaways:

  • Intro (00:00)
  • What's really going on? (01:02)
  • Cortisol Awakening Response (01:50)
  • Why is your nervous system sensitized? (03:51)
  • How to overcome morning anxiety (05:44)
  • Your nervous system learns safety again (08:47)
