On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized Confidence Coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the Internet.

I teach go-getters in life how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey there, it's Trish Blackwell, and you're listening to the Confidence Podcast. This is episode 564. We're talking today about anxiety.

Morning anxiety specifically versus evening anxiety, because whether you are struggling to get out of bed in the morning, and you're pressing this news button, or you wake up with dread and angst, with dawn's anxieties, or maybe you're tossing and turning at night, and you're feeling dread about the day to calm, you're feeling overwhelmed, you're turning to alcohol, you're turning to scrolling social media, you're avoiding your own life by watching everyone else's, whether it's facts or fiction, you're watching fictional series of Netflix on,

replay, and hurting your sleep, creating even more anxiety. Like, whatever pattern you're stuck in, if you're in a pattern of your life for your morning routine or your evening routine, that's just not serving you, this episode is going to help you.

Because anxiety can express itself and be triggered differently, depending upon the time of day and of your core thought patterns at that specific time of day.

I am a morning person, and I think very differently in the beginning of the day than the end of the day. You're not going to want to miss this whole episode if you really want to decrease your overall anxiety in life, because when you do, you increase your peace and confidence.

And I want to tell you, from personal experience, peace and confidence opens all doors. It is the life you've been waiting to live, and it's available to you right now. You don't have to change actually a lot of your circumstances.

The peace and confidence you're after, come from your soul. They come from a deeper relationship with God, and the ability to tap into the power of your mind.

So, if you're new to the show, welcome, we're so happy that you're here. If you're a returning listener, I love you. You're part of the confidence family. And it means a lot to me.

So, hey, you might have noticed. We have a couple of new things. You can see we have new cover artwork for the podcast. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think. You could come say hi to me on Instagram, Trish underscore Blackwell on Facebook.

Yeah, I do still hang out on Facebook. I still like it there. I am Trish Blackwell coaching over there. In this episode of the confidence podcast, we're going to be coaching all the differences between morning anxiety and evening anxiety.

I'm going to give you five simple habits that will reduce your overall anxiety. And then we're going to talk about some specific shifts that you can make for your morning anxiety and to minimize it and for your evening.

So, we're going to dive into a couple core critical things that you can do in your morning routine and your evening routine. And it's really important before you go any further.

These are one minute habits. You can change your life one minute at a time. That's what's extraordinary about the way we can do our life, how we design our days. These are not massive shifts. These are micro steps, but they make a massive, massive difference.

Before we go any further, my announcement today is just a reminder to you that life is short. And I know you know that, but do you know it?

I recently lost a friend. She was 40. She had three young kids. And my brain is wrestling as all of our brains do with why?

Why her not me? Why do her children have to experience the pain of losing a mother and not mine? And in reflection in the last three years, I've lost a handful of friends.

And maybe that's part of turning 40 and aging, but it maybe it's the byproduct of walking a pandemic, walking through one.

But I am grateful for the reminder, because my brain can get very distracted. I can get very focused on my goals, on my things, on the things I need to do, on where I feel behind.
