How do you motivate yourself in the morning when you are feeling "blah"?

I find that opening the blinds to let light in and starting a favorite music mix is helpful to wake my mind up in the morning.

I like to get some uptempo music going. Once I can get the music going, then I start moving. That usually gets me up and going.

I tell myself that theres no other option than to just get out of bed right away. It literally takes me a second. I never snooze any alarmclocks, nor do I laze around after getting out. The second I wake up I know that it’s a new day and it is in my hands to make it productive and be happy obout it.

I just try to remind myself my goals and remember that there’s no point in stopping now. If I got this far why would I want to ruin it? Remember no pain no gain so don’t stop and push yourself (not to hard tho) becouse there are always ups and downs.

Well, you need to tell yourself that you are amazing and that you are doing this because you want a change and that always motivates me! Keep going you can do it and you WILL succeed

It’s difficult, but I usually think about one thing that sounds enjoyable weather it’s making a food I enjoy, completing a challenging task that shows results or a phone call with someone who is motivating. If that doesnt work and I’m feeling sad I’ll do something creative and expressive like making a song, writing or sculpting .

I keep the promise that I will try my best. Maybe I can’t exercise in the morning, but then I will do so as soon as I can.

Watch an episode of a comedy show to get into a better headspace. It may sound like a waste of time but the greater waste of time would be going through your day in a bad mood and doing everything inefficiently.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have those mornings? If we could wake up and be ready to do all the things we need to do. The best thing I did to help with motivation is create a routine. I get up every morning and workout. I also have visual cues in my bedroom. I’ll put out my exercise clothes the night before. If I still don’t want to get out of bed, I remember my why. Why I am going to the gym? My why is my kids and being the best version of myself for them. Ask yourself how you’ll feel if you don’t do what you need to. If I don’t workout now, I know I’ll be cranky all day. Even all these things don’t help me feel it some days. It’s those days when you don’t feel motivated that matter most. Do it anyway. Show up anyway. You’ll feel better once you do.

Loading it up with simple tasks you enjoy. I like brewing coffee and reading news. Making routine stuff into a task makes you feel you have accomplished more and allows you to tackle more difficult deeper work after
