Lesson Overview

3.46 – Handling Morning Anxiety Before School: Mornings can trigger dread before the day even begins. The racing heart, heavy stomach, and negative thoughts steal calm before first bell. Establishing predictable routines reduces that chaos. Prepare clothes, bags, and lunches the night before. Wake earlier for quiet breathing or gentle stretching. Avoid checking stressful messages right after waking. Positive affirmations or calm playlists shift mindset before leaving. Eat something light to balance blood sugar and emotions. If anxiety spikes, use grounding—notice five things you see or hear. Arriving a bit early prevents rushed panic. Talking with a trusted friend upon arrival eases transition. Consistency trains your body that mornings are safe. If symptoms grow severe, counseling can help uncover deeper roots. You control how the day starts through preparation and patience
