How do you motivate yourself to get out of bed in the morning?

Well well my new puppy for one. I also wake up asking myself "What if this is the best day of your life? You never know unless you try it." If the day sucks you can always come home to your safe haven. But just think about 2 things that could excite you about the day you can look forward to. Focus on that and keep grinding.

I set VERY small goals for myself, including things which should be normal habits like making the bed and just opening the curtains/ window. I find that setting them as goals and achieving them gives a sense of success (however small it may be) to motivate me to do other things. Also, I have to step out of bed to open the windows and make the bed which deters me a little from getting back in.

Well, getting out of bed is always so hard, For me, watching youtube helps as a treat for getting outta bed early so I get ready and watch youtube. Other than that, listening to music while getting ready really makes me feel so much better. I think having a way to treat yourself in the morning even if its something small such as having a choclate bar might help.

If it weren't for my dog I have no idea how I'd do it.

its hard sometimes to want to get up and function. i've had my days where i do nothing but lay in bed. the main thing that gets me out of bed is my hunger and knowing that if i dont eat my blood sugar will plummet. I also think about what I need to get done and tell myself I have to at least accomplish one thing before I can lay back down. Sometimes one thing is better then nothing at all.

Well school is really important to me so I tell myself that if I don't get out of bed then I won't go to school and I'll end up failing all my classes. I feel like it's not the best thing to tell myself, but it works.

I have to get up to get my kid to school but on the weekend i usually stay in bed until its necessary...

I like to ease into my day so I give myself plenty of time, have a routine, meditate and listen to music or watch an episode of something that is upbeat. It is not always easy so the routine helps. It also helps me to have a commitment to be present for someone I am working with as I don't want to let others down.

im working on this one

First off I sometimes take showers night before to stay in bed a little more but I meditate or do bed yoga (look on youtube) for 15 min before I roll out.

Set clothes out night before,I set the coffee maker night before.

I also have positive affirmations on postits on all my mirrors. When I wash my face and brush my teeth in the AM I say them to myself.

Keep moving dont let neg thoughts enter put music on and tell yourself how great you are. That noone or nothing should be given the power to ruin your day.

I started this very recently and it is working
