You've come here today to find some quiet, but if anxiety still feels like it's quietly humming in the background, you're not alone.

I've created something called the Anxiety Circuit Breaker, a gentle, guided course designed to help you interrupt anxious spirals and feel steady again. If you would like to explore

it, you can visit calming anxiety.fm. But for now, there's nothing you need to do. Let's

settle in together and focus on the present moment.

That heavy, racing feeling in your chest, the moment you open your eyes, that's not you, that's just a surge of cortisol.

Let's dial it back together.

I'm Martin, I'm a clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic. This

is your 5-minute morning anxiety relief session. If you need a deeper dive, then just follow

me at calminganxiety.fm. But right now, we're grounded, we're here, and you are safe.

When you feel the morning dread, your nervous system is stuck in the high idle.

We're going to use the physiological sigh with a push to reset your vagus nerve.

You'll inhale sharply through your nose, then right at the top that tiny second sip of

air to fully inflate the lungs.

Then exhale through purse lips making a whooshing sound, as if you're blowing out a candle

across the room.

Ready? Let's do three.

Ready.

Here we go.

Inhale, sip, and then a long, slow whoosh.

Feel the shoulders drop.

That's a physical weight you're carrying.

We're letting it go, one breath at a time.
