2020 has been the year of stress and anxiety, I know we all feel it! To cope with the anxiety I was feeling, I knew there were a few small changes I could make to try and shift my mindset first thing in the morning. I’m a morning person naturally, and use that time to set the tone for the rest of my day. So if you’re like me, try these small changes to shift your headspace!
#1 Don’t Check Your Phone When You Wake Up
This was probably the biggest thing I’m guilty of, and the hardest shift to make! I’m so glad I did it, though, and it truly has worked wonders for my mental state first thing in the morning. I’ve also started putting my phone on “Do Not Disturb” before bed! These small shifts not only protect my energy (hi, social media-induced anxiety), but also physically protect my eyes/brain from the effects of blue light at crucial hours in the day.
#2 CBD Drops In The AM
Finding the right CBD has been a huge part in reducing the amount of anxiety I’ve been feeling! After trying Equilibria, I really did start feeling a major shift in my body and just clarity of mind. The key with CBD for me has been setting a routine for when I take it, and the mornings are perfect for starting my day off right! If you feel like giving it a try, use my code nastialiukin for 15% off!
#3 Movement
Sometimes I let my mornings get away from me and I totally forget to workout or get some movement in earlier in the day! I’ve really noticed that instead of looking at my phone, if I get my mat out and do a quick Pilates flow or any workout, I’m a happier, more productive person throughout the day. Part of it might be crossing something off the to-do list, but I’m a firm believer that getting your blood flowing at the beginning of your day will change your whole day! Bonus points if you can get to your workout *before* your coffee for ultimate control over your cortisol levels.
