Sometimes it's hard to even get up in the morning. What's some ways to stay positive?

At times when I have found it hard to get up in the morning, I break what I have to do down into really small tasks that I know I can achieve. This can be things like, sit up and put my feet on the floor, or get some breakfast. I try to focus on tasks that aren't emotionally loaded and can give me little victories. These little victories show me that if I break down the things that give me anxiety or worry, into small manageable tasks, I can then achieve the bigger goal as a total. This way morning don't have to be overwhelming.

I think keeping in mind where you are going what what you are doing can be a good motivator but also keep telling yourself that "even if I do something small today, I haven't wasted the day". Having a list of things to get done when you don't feel the best can be overwhelming and not always helpful so I like to choose the ones that are small and that I can see myself achieving such as getting out of bed, having a shower, feeding my pets... If I have done that when I feel low then I can say that I've done something. Other things like going to uni, I'm passionate about my studies so if I feel overwhelmed on a study day then again bit by bit. I know I wants degree so I will do what I can to get there :)

It happened to me quite frequently that I was struggling to find the energy to even get up in the morning. However, at one point it became clear to me that only by getting up and getting out there was a chance of the day becoming a good one. By staying in bed, that chance was naught. That has kept me motivated ever since.

Get plenty of rest, and remember that everyday is a good day. Repeat that to yourself in the mirror every morning.

A way to stay positive is think that you're alive today and there is a really good thing waiting for you today

Well, sometimes I have the same problem. One way to stay positive is by remembering that there is someone fighting for you. If you don't get out of bed then how are you suppose to see life out side and the sun that's shining just for you?

- Looking forward to all the positive things in the day - Wake up and make some of your first thoughts positive ones, make it like an exercise to start your morning out with positive thoughts like "Today is going to be a great day" "I wonder what today has in store for me!" - Even if you feel like the day isn't going to be a good day, counteract that thinking with positive thoughts. - Not getting the right amount of sleep or not having healthy sleeping habits can greatly affect how easy it is to get up in the morning (Here is a simple list you can look at http://sleepfoundation.org/sleep-tools-tips/healthy-sleep-tips) - Do things that make you happy while you do your normal routine. Example: if you like to dance, dance while you make your coffee and get dressed. - Positive thinking is the key!

When it is difficult to get up in the morning, visualizations can be really helpful. Imagine everything in your day going smoothly. Set the intention that it is going to be a wonderful day. Positive affirmations can also be really helpful. For example: "Everything that can go right today, will".

Some simple ways to stay positive is to keep reminding yourself of positive thoughts. Think about something happy when you go to bed and when you wake up. Think you're gonna have an amazing day, you're gonna achieve loads of things today, make a plan, or make it spontaneous! After all, just don't make yourself being negative down to boredom. Be productive. You can start writing a journal, plan your future, write down your dreams and what makes you happy, what you love doing, etc... That way, you have a good reason to start your day! :)

Try a positivity journal. When you wake up each morning and before you go to bed each night, write what you're thankful for in your life and what will/did make the day great.

Exercise at regular intervals helps with it. But waking up in the morning thinking today is a brand new day helps too!

Think about the positives of the day, instead of the negatives. I also suggest listening to music in the morning, to get you pumped up for the day

I always think about 1 thing that was good about yesterday and 1 thing (or more) that I'm looking forward to today.

Other than managing your emotions, the surroundings around you are also very important because they affect your mood. Try having bright coloured things around the house. Even just bright coloured cups will do. Listen to music that makes you feel good. Look at things that make you feel good and calm, like plants for example.

dreams ,and things you love can be a motivation and continuously doing it will make it a habit and doing what you love

you have another chance to fix your mistakes, to live your life and meet your love ones. i think thats how to stay positive

Think about the good things awaiting for you on that very day. Notice the sun rays and the smell of morning air.

I have been there. I was there for a very long time, and almost took my own life because of it. Believe me, I know what that feels like. Take baby steps. No matter how small, no matter how slow, take them. Take each day, each moment at a time. Do something for YOU, EVERYDAY. Make it a habit. The more you listen to your own needs and take care of them, the more you will start to feel better. Take care of yourself. I know you can do it! You have all the support you need. And never give up

I do stretches and excercises in the morning to calm my mind and have a postiive outlook! It really works!

I used to have this problem all the time... depression, anxiety and exhaustion got to be so much for me at one point that I would hardly want to get out of bed. However, I started this exercise that has been helping me for a while. I list all the good things that could happen that day. It's hard, but I force myself to think of all the good things that could happen. I also find it helpful to give myself something to look forward to. Even if they're extremely small things, like taking a bath that night or wearing my favorite outfit to school. It motivates me to get up and do what I have to do in order to get to that reward at the end of the day. Best of luck, you are so strong!
