What Gets You Out Of Bed?

[MisterCatLady]

When I'm smoking, that feeling of "I could be having a cigarette right now!" And I really love breakfast so sometimes I will prep the night before to have a breakfast I am looking forward to.
What keeps me from going back to bed after that? Dogs. Lots of dogs. I love them and they love me back.

My dog is the number one reason to get out of bed.

I also get some awesome breakfast food in, natural yoghurt, honey, chia seeds I can make it the night before so all I have to do is get up and eat it. something to look forward to.

Drinking a load of water before bed means when my alarm goes off I have to get up to pee. It's a dangerous one if you have insomnia as I can be up and down all nigh peeing if I can't sleep.

Staying in bed too long gives me lower back pain so that's a bit of a motivation.

I make lists of things I have to do that day so I have something to get up for. Even if it's just have a shower, eat breakfast, take the dog out, do some self care.

That's exactly what I do in the summer time, I plan the next day ahead when I'm in bed the night before.

Yet, in the winter time, when it's too cold and damp to be working outside, I have no such plans to make, so I just don't bother to set the alarm or get out of bed at all?

Knowing I will feel better once I get going. Plus the knowledge that if I give in and just let the black take over all the work I have done will be lost.

physical pain and stiffness

Unfortunately work.

The world feels OK, at evening. Knowing that I wake up.

These days it's needing to go for a pee that gets me out of bed, Lol, as well as four or five times during the night!

This means I tend to have a nap during the afternoon, Geez! that makes me feel old?

My dog.
And the experience that it really gets better as soon as I'm doing anything even though I'm doing it while hating my life and myself.
