  • If you've ever struggled to get up in the morning, you know how hard it is to actually push yourself to be 100%. Nothing is worse than starting your day off thinking it's already going to be a "bad" one. Just because I am a therapist does not mean I am immune to these feelings! In this video, I am sharing a realistic morning routine. This is not your average "wake up at 6am and conquer the day" type of video. If you struggle with anxiety or depression and getting out of bed is difficult for you, tune in for some of the tips I've given my clients when it comes to a morning routine! Comment down below any tips you have!

    I know that depression can be different for everyone and on some days I absolutely don’t feel like doing my makeup but sometimes it helps in order to not lay back into bed. I find myself struggling with coming up with motivation for those things but it always helps me to watch grwm videos on RUclips

    I definitely have to get up slowly I snooze my alarm to go off in 10 mins I spend that time stretching in bed and my alarm is a gentle motivational song. brushing my teeth before I do anything else in the morning helps wake me up more.
    I have a tshirt and sweatpants combo that I go to when I know Im having a day

    • @cafewithmonica

      I love that your alarm is a motivational song! Those alarm sounds can be so jarring! Sounds like you are working toward a morning routine that works for you 💕

    • @cafewithmonica
      @cafewithmonica  2 месяца назад +1

      I’ve had clients have similar experiences and taking it at night has helped but definitely follow up with your doctor to make sure it’s the right dosage for you sometimes you’ll just need to tweek it with your doctor. I hope it works out for you and you see improvement.

    Gentle mornings with small kids.. I don't feel like there's not much room for my emotions these days.. Also, the better my sleep is and my sleep hygiene, the better the mornings. But life is unpredictable.

    • @cafewithmonica
      @cafewithmonica  9 месяцев назад +2

      While I can’t fully understand your experience since I don’t have kids of my own. Even just a small moment in the morning where you splash water take a deep breathe just to let your body know it’s okay. I have so much admirations for moms you all have so much on your plate and if you haven’t heard it today I am so proud of you ❤️ it’s not easy being a mom and I know you’re trying your best.
