Hey Sleepy,
I know that feeling. It sucks.
I wonder.....physical movement is really good at moving heavy stuck energy. It's the hardest time to do anything, usually, but exactly when you feel least like it can be most beneficial.
Any chance you could make a new routine? One which involved getting up and going for a quick walk around the block? Clothes to get into easily and warmly, on a chair near your bed, could help to make it easier.
Even 5 star jumps (LOL! When last did anyone do star jumps??) Can help get the blood pumping and change the mood.
This is the time when new habits could really change how you experience life.
For me, I tend to feel lethargic in the morning. In my bad times, just getting up was the chief hurdle of the day. One day I discovered that the only thing I was looking fwd to was having my marmalade toast and cuppa for breaky. I use this consciously now.
This reminds me of watching my d training the dog, using treats/dry food to get him to obey. Seems like my dog and I have that in common! Food is our motivator!
We have to retrain the brain.
A statement that you believe, like, I'm getting better, life is getting better for me.... Can help to rewire from those old negative cycles.
Does that make sense Sleepy?
We're your cheer squad, cheering you on! Go Sleepy, yeah yeah yeah!!!
Love and hugs,
J*
Ps You could think of a reward to encourage you to keep up with the new habit. Like, when I've done the walk, I can relax in front of the tv (or wherever) and have my breaky. Or snack. Be prepared to indulge yourself at first, It's hard to change our habits!!
