The First Thing I Do When I Wake Up In The Morning Is...

[Me Myself and I]

The first thing I do in the morning is smile - as a therapeutic method for starting the day positively - I then water my plants, have breakfast outside in the garden, check my phone, and then start my day!

How about you?

High dosed Caffeine- Peppermint oil on my forehed-banana or any other fruit

I think of a reason not to die. Sad I known but it is almost habit now. It kept me going on the darkest days. Even if the reason was simply that 'the dogs need a walk and I can't do it if I'm dead', it would get me out of bed and started.

I usually wake from a nightmare.........so the first thing I do is breath, then positive affirmations

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

A deep breath exercise that counts to 4 on the nostril inhale, the hold, the gentle mouth exhale, and the pause.
Some yoga poses while I'm still in bed to stretch out some of the aches, with any luck.
Tell myself how much I love me and that I'm worth every single second I spend on my healthy self-care choices.
Unless I have to pee really bad, then it's off to the loo with no stopping in between. lol

Let the dog out... and then greet her wiggly self as she happily comes in for her breakfast, as I try to shake off whatever nightmare I had.

 

[desiderata310]

Right now? Check to see if I'm going to be able to sit up while I shake off a nightmare.
Take a pill for nausea and vertigo. THEN sit up.
Let the cat and dog out and then I go pee.
Then coffee maker, and feed the dog and cat.

shower so I stop feeling gross

 

[Tinyflame]

Figure out where I am, then breathe.
Say short thanks or try to tell myself it's ok..
Have a vape.
Hug dog.
Go to washroom.
Put out dog.
Open blinds, turn on stereo, put on coffee.
Wash dishes, turn on laundry.
Let in dog, have coffee and vape.

1. I usually wake up in the middle of spinning thoughts or dreams, so I pray, repeat positive affirmations and accomplishments to try to shake myself out of it. Sometimes, on a good day, I wake up with worship music in my mind. :tup:
2. Get up, wash my hands and turn on Morning Joe (MSNBC).
3. Have tea and breakfast with Joe and Mika.
4. Brush my teeth.
5. Go up to the loft to read email, check phone, and look for jobs.

Exciting, yes? :p

Getting out of bed. Boiling the water for tea - brush my teeth while the water boils and eat something before I leave to the subway.
