Today I had a thought 'You don't want it to be this way' this morning. So I got up, got half-dressed and didn't go back to bed. I consider that a success. Perhaps my motivation has returned. It does tend to come in waves for me.


Yessss result!

I also find that it helps to allow myself to lie in every few days. It's something to look forward to.

@pepe...I love the idea of a coffee maker beside my bed. Just make a coffee, put the TV on for a while and then get up. That's what I would consider to be luxurious living.


Since I am in early retirement, I don't have to get up at all.

However, :mrgreen:
I got up at 5.30 am today to take my K9 kids for a walk.
The kids are the biggest reason for me to get active in the morning.
They look so sad when I just lie there.
How can I cope with such emotional blackmail? 8O
