Dealing with Early Morning Anxiety Wake Ups

Some suggestions include doing a few easily do-able things in the morning to build a sense of control and security, listening to music with headphones on, taking deep breaths and focusing on relaxing muscles, splashing your face with cold water or eating something sour, waking up a bit earlier than usual to do something calming, practicing positive thinking, starting the day with a guided meditation, taking a few minutes to center oneself through activities like yoga or drinking a warm cup of tea, getting up and moving or exercising, and laying down to listen to music while focusing on one's breath.
