Anxiety in the mornings

[EtainSkirata]

It seems like almost every Saturday (because I can wake up and lie in bed vs having to actually get up) I wake up feeling anxious. It's an unsettling tension in my chest. It's almost as though my body is gearing up for me to be worried about something, when I don't really have anything specific in mind. This doesn't happen so much on workdays, because I'm mostly thinking about how much I'd rather go back to bed lol. But, yeah. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, when I was working. On Saturday and more often Sunday morning I would get anxious and become more so as the day progressed. I know it was all about the weekend dwindling away and having to go back to work on Monday morning. I learned to meet the day and live in the moment and enjoy it. Tomorrow has enough worries of its own.(Matthew 6:34)

I would ask if you have anything specifically to do on a Saturday? If not, then perhaps make sure you have some plans? Even if it is tasks around the house; it is always better for anxiety if you have something that you can occupy yourself with.
Also, these times are, in my experience, good opportunities to spend time alone with God and pour out your cares and concerns to Him.
‘Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God’ (Philippians 4:6 KJV)

‘Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you’ (1 Peter 5:7 RSV)

Yeah the weekends can either be worst or the best just depending. I posted on here about God's prayer of peace and both of those links helped me from being anxious today check it out. I think it's cause we wake up not rushing to get up and our thoughts can haunt us but let those teachings above help you
