If you're having trouble getting out of bed, motivate yourself by making a plan to do something you enjoy that morning, even if it's incredibly small. Tell yourself that when you get up, you'll have a cookie with breakfast, or put on your favorite outfit, or take a stroll around the block before you leave for work/school. Even if it feels minuscule and unimportant, sometimes it's the small things that make a day worthwhile.

Try to devise a bed time routine that incorporates you allowing yourself to get to bed at a decent time and hour to allow yourself to wake up at a decent time to start your day. You may want to try different bed times to see what works for you to give yourself the best feeling in the morning when you wake up. If you establish a bed time routine and stick with it, you may start to feel better and more motivated about getting out of bed in the morning to start your day.

Firstly start by taking it in small baby steps if that helps, i usually find that if I am in a low state I write down what I want to accomplish whether it be big or small and then tick it off.

Don't think too much about what lies ahead of you unless it is something exciting that is happening such as you are getting a new puppy or you are getting your pocket money today!

Try new things! Life is an adventure made just for you. So grab a pen, a backpack or a whisk and test yourself. Go outside and stare at the stars. Learn to love yourself!
