7 Ways To Find Motivation To Get Out Of Bed

Emily Romo • October 29, 2024

Why do we struggle to get out of our bed every morning? Maybe it's because you are going to a job you don't very much like? Maybe it's because you constantly stay up late the night before? Maybe it's because the comfyness of your own bed is just too good and trumps all? Or maybe it's all of the above! Whatever the reason is, it all leads down to one thing... Motivation!

Motivation isn't something that you were born with. It also isn't something you just acquire from the blue. It is fuel to the fire that is already in you! When you want something, you do what you can to get it. But, sometimes you get lost, you don't know what to do next, so you become frustrated or just start slowly giving up. That's when you need motivation! Something that helps you find your way again!

We are not perfect! We all need motivation every now and then! That is why I made this list to help you find your motivation to get THE F*CK UP IN THE MORNING!

1. Develop Healthy Habits the Night Before

      One great way to make it easier to get up in the morning is having most of your things prepped the night before. That could be setting up your outfit for the following day, prepping your breakfast, or making a to-do list for things you need to get done that day or evening just that morning. These things make a huge difference when you wake up in the morning because it saves you time and it's less things to worry about.

      Create a routine that works for you! My big thing is making lists because I tend to forget a lot of things I need to get done and if I don't create a list of things to do, I'm so disorganized and become more stressed.

    2. Prioritize Sleep

          Many People Don't Realize the Importance of sleep and how it can affect not only your mood, but your mental and physical health. Lack of sleep affects your normal functioning of attention and disrupts your ability to focus, hence the reason for lack of motivation. When you are feeling tired, you don't want to do anything, but lay down. You can't focus on anything, but sleeping. Your focus is gone from your true goals. That is why getting sufficient sleep is important. A physical downfall of lack of sleep is possible weight gain. Sleep deprivation effects your hormones, leptin and ghrelin, which regulate hunger and appetite.

          Aside from getting a good amount of sleep, it is also important to get quality sleep. Ways you can help to get quality sleep are: Turning off electronics 1 hour before bed, Not eating at least 2 hours before bed, Not drinking anything containing caffeine 1 hour before bed, keeping the bedroom dark and temperature comfortable, and engaging in regular exercise during the day. These small changes can make a big difference in your quality of sleep.

        3. Use Your Inspiration to Your Advantage

          You ever look at something or someone and you're just in awe and thinking about attaining similar goals? That is what we call our inspiration. Who in this world inspires you? Who can change your negative mood into positivity? Whoever that is, use them to your advantage. And what I mean by that, read their books or blogs, watch their motivational videos, see what they're doing or have done to reach their successes and follow their example. We should never aim to be like someone, but aim to use them as a guide. One of the ways I stay motivated is by watching motivational videos on YouTube right after waking up. It definitely gets me pumped for the day!

        4. Create Big and Small Goals

            Has anyone ever asked you what your 5 and 10 year plan is? The 10 year plan is your Big goal and what you hope to accomplish! Your 5 year plan is part of your small goals and what you use as a step to get to your 10 year plan. It's good to think about the big picture, but you should be more focused on the small steps you need to take to get there. Sometimes when you stay focused on the big picture, you become overwhelmed with all the steps needed to get there. But, when that happens you will never reach that big goal and will only be disappointed. Stay focused on the small goals, one at a time, or you will be overwhelmed with all the steps necessary and you'll be drawn to giving up. And when you accomplish a small goal, let yourself celebrate that victory!

        5. Meditate

        Meditation has so many benefits that many fail to see. It is a habitual process to training your mind and redirecting  your thoughts. A lot of the times when people struggle to sleep it is because they have so many things going through their minds and can't focus on just sleeping. It requires a sort of discipline, but once you have it down, you will be able to fall asleep much easier. That is what meditation can do.

        Now, let me tell you, meditation isn't an easy process. It can sound easy to just sit there and think about nothing, but once you try it, you will realize how difficult it can actually be. When you first sit there in complete silence you will try to think about nothing, but your breathing, but then your mind will wonder off. And that is okay. The point of it is to try and get yourself back to focusing on your breathing. It is a process that takes time and practice, just like with everything else. If you struggle to stay focused on just your breathing, don't get upset, just relax and try again. If you still can't, try another day! Eventually, you will get it down!

        6. Reflect on the Last Time You Were Motivated

        Thinking about the last time you were motivated can help you regain that motivation. It helps you remember that feeling of being motivated and how you got there. You'll be able to follow similar steps you previously took to get yourself in that mindset again. Overtime our motivation changes, but that feeling typically stays the same. So, think about how you felt when you were motivated and look for the things that help you feel that way!

        7. Seek Advice

        When all else fails, seek the advice of your friends, family and loved ones. Everyone gets motivated differently, and the best people to help you find that motivation will be the ones who know you best, your loved ones. They can see things about you that you might not see for yourself and that is why they are the best ones to go to for advice.

        I hope this article has helped you find your motivation again! If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please let us know! Let us know if there is anything we can help you in! We'll be glad to hear from you!
