Mindfulness Check-In April 19, 2023
Something that helps me to want to leave the bed in the morning and face the day is to have a daily goal and also something nice whether it is a tasty healthy meal, a good movie to watch at the end of the day.
What motivates you to leave the bed in the morning? What are you looking forward to in a day.

I've been waking up to take care of my mom first before myself. I would then find myself having to cook some food or heat leftovers for breakfast. Then I try to do my normal routine during the day (checking-in on my wellness, writing, reading, or watching movies) before my support group meetings in the afternoon. And conclude the evening with some pastime activity and writing my gratitudes 😊
@compassionateOak202
You seem to have your day organized very well! I like that you include self care!
The dog bounding onto my bed after my grandie gets on the school bus. I am not sure if it is the 65 pounds of dog dropping on me, or being suffocated with wet, sloppy tongue kisses, but either way, it gets me up fairly quickly...and bonus...WATER FRIENDLY BATH before I have even had my coffee!
Otherwise I get up in order to go to appointments, or if someone needs something from me. I do actually look forward to coffee on the deck with my cat, and sometimes working on my home decorating project I started to have a reason of my own to get up. It is very slowly getting done...much like my recovery. That is to be expected, as I have had to figure out new ways to do things. Can't climb or lift heavy objects so painting, wallpapering, moving furniture around, hanging shelves and light fixtures must be done differently or wait for help. So far no help, which I might be a little disappointed about, but I will figure all but the light fixtures out. Or maybe I will take a risk and get on a sturdy ladder or table to do them. I have also looked forward to checking in at 7 cups and organizing my paperwork (where does all the paper come from???).
@adaptableOcean4193
Doggy kisses to wake up - how sweet! 😃
Having something to do that pulls you out of bed is great! Please do not use a ladder or get on a table if you are not fully stable, so many things can happen and it's not worth it to risk your health. I hope someone will come to help with the more challenging work.
I find rolling carts to move smaller but heavier things around the house work well, also having smaller furniture on casters so they can be easily moved.
@amiablePeace77
Well... That's very helpful! It does make me wonder why I didn't think of that? As Pooh would say, "oh, bother". Thankfully on the climbing, I am all mouth. I'm afraid of heights and I'm not stable. Climbing would actually prove it. Whether physically or mentally! Someone will eventually take pity on me and finish what I can't. I haven't quite learned to ask yet.
haha, I have to use the bathroom and eat as soon as I wake up so that really REALLY motivates me!
@amiablePeace77
Hi Ami:
You’re absolutely correct in saying that it helps having something planned for the day. I am still working, so that is pretty good motivation for getting out of bed...
@UberRuminator
Having work has definitively also has good sides!
@amiablePeace77 I like how positive you are in finding the motivation to wake up and do what you need to do to be happy and maintaining it! Great job. 😃
@GlowingBlueRose
Thank you 😃
I find motivation by thinking about how successful I can be and taking action in achieving my goals and also feeling happy and more motivated when I actually accomplish them! 😊
@GlowingBlueRose
You're a great self motivator 👍
