Dear dreaming715:

I am glad you booked an appointment with a therapist. If it is a new to you therapist, I hope it is a match, and that she/her is competent, skillful and able to help you.

Since you work from home, you have some schedule flexibility, do you? If so, can you take a break each day for a 30 minutes fast walk around? This can do wonders for you for the aerobic exercise and to have it as a daily routine.

Routine is important when anxious, you can experiment with setting more routine activities in your day: the walk, another, maybe 10 minutes of stretching (yoga, otherwise), etc. Experiment, see what works for your routine, what doesn’t, change and stick to what works for you.

Oh, for your routine: a relaxing guided meditation, one per day, that can be wonderful for your routine and for relaxation purposes.
