This was AMAZING! And just what the doctor ordered! I’ve been feeling exactly like this in the morning - I feel like I weigh a ton, literally can’t get out & I don’t want to. I’m depressed, anxious. And nice to know others are feeling the tsunami of the last 2 years of pandemic + changes + hormones + taking care of my mom with Alzheimer’s last 6 years & recently moving her + work changes + money stress. Can’t wait to do the 5 second rule + slithering tomorrow morning! ❤️
I've been in somatic therapy for a year and a half. This makes so much sense as part of my morning routine. I've had a hard time getting out of bed and thought meditating while in bed would do the trick. This is a much better strategy.
Ya know what I like about you??? You not only admit to the issues that hold you back, you admit them to millions of people. You don't worry (or at least it doesn't seem like you do) about what people think about you because you want to share your stuff and how you get through it. You are a very special person and I am glad that I found you! Keep up the great work helping yourself and helping us. I use the 5-4-3-2-1 often and in the beginning, I thought it was silly, but now that I know it works, i use it.
This is the only thing I was able to find on “how to” push myself out of bed when feeling exactly like you do. I used so many key words to literally find a tool but I wasn’t able until now. I love how authentic you are and I love that you can actually crawl out of bed and show your vulnerability . I connect with you the moment I hear you . Thank you for everything you do❤️
I’ve dealt with morning anxiety for years! Taken meds, meditation, lavender, etc. Being out of work for past month has been a struggle! When my 17 yo son is worried, I know it’s time to pull myself out…
Hey Mel. Great advice on waking up from our peaceful slumbers by slithering around after a thankful settling and a 5-4-3-2-1. When I get up out of bed, I also have to deal with a hurting-tight back. After slithering out of bed this morning, into a rolling around on the floor performance and throwing in some stretching, then crawling around for a while, my back loosened up bunches‼️ What a simple & productive way for me to wake up. I will pass this process on to my physical therapist and definitely add it to my morning routine. ✋ A big-high-five-thank you, for all that you do and your team does to help us maneuver through life’s journey. Best to you all, Retired Robert from down Texas way
What drags me out of the bed in the mornings - EVERY morning, whether it shines or rains or snows - is my dog. He wants out at 7 am, every day. And he is very persistent. So I have no choice. However crappy I feel, I must get up, get dressed, go out, and sometimes for a long 1-hour walk. I have never once wanted to go but every time I come back, I am happy that I did. My dog drives me crazy because he is a troubled rescue but I know without him I would not get out of bed at all. So bless him
OMG! You have no idea how much I needed this... I also LOVE my bed, it's where i snuggle with the dogs, my very favorite place to be and it's really really hard to get up in the morning
Well i cried from her explaining that it's normal to have issues getting up from trauma/chaotic life etc thanks for the help Mel, I just found you from the other video and am so glad I did
I can't believe I found this video today. I wasn't even looking for it. I was just telling my friend this morning how do you get up so early. My alarm goes off at 6 and I lay paralyzed for at least 20 to 25 mins. Just thinking ugh I gotta get up and get ready take that long drive to work. And just making it out the door on time. I was meant to see this video today. I am going to try this for sure. Thank you so much!
OMG - I have so needed this video today. I am becoming agoraphobic, I literally do not want to leave my house. This morning I had a feeling/need to get in my car and just drive - no destination in mind - just GO!!!. But, I didn't - I got on the computer and started the outline of a book instead, however, this feeling is gnawing at me until I saw this video. Putting you on pause Mel - 5-4-3-2-1 - going on a drive, no idea where - just out somewhere!!! To be continued when I get back.
Mel thank you so much for sharing the slithering strategy --I am having a lot of anxiety about returning to school (I'm a preschool Speech-Language Pathologist)soon and think I will likely need to try slithering to get myself out of bed. This will also be true in the winter months for me. Hope your son is doing better. ❤️ Appreciate all you do to improve the mental health and lives of so many people, including myself! #yourethebest
Thank you so much Mel for your raw honesty about your own struggles and thank you for sharing the slither method. I'm definitely going to give it a try. God bless!
I will def get up with laughter from lying on the floor because my dog would think I was playing with me! What a great way to wake up! TKS for the tip!
Thank you sooo much for your life focus on anxiety, depression and it’s accompanying devastating effects on the quality f your living hours. You are a lifesaver for me.
You crack me up Mel! Thanku for your presence and honesty and your willingness to share. I've got back problems that have me slithering and your timely demo helps me feel better about what I go thru every morning trying to get moving. Your truly a rockstar. Bless you.
This is a great suggestion to put in my tool box. As I'm getting older (now 58) I sometimes think of what would I do in certain situations will be coming up that I'm afraid of or dread, like how would I function the day of or after my spouse died. (I think of things to feel a little more "ready". I'm a planner, haha) Much thanks, Mel.
Check out Sukie Baxter's videos on resetting the vagus nerve to help find calm. I recently stumbled on her videos in dealing with grief from my mom's passing. I took care of my mom for the last 5 yrs. in a nursing home after her stroke. I never realized all the stress & emotion my body was storing & I learned quick, simple techniques to help when I feel stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck. Sukie Baxter deals a lot with somatic techniques, but not quite of the slithering kind. They can be both preventive & interventions for moments when life is really causing you angst.
Hello Mel, I don't have that problem, but I love my bed lol! Just watching you doing it , gave me a fresh of breath air, I felt the power in that. So I can't wait to pass your video on 🙂 thank you my sister, I love your energy 💖 keep it up .peace and Prosperity and good health to you and your love ones . Thank you!!!
Thank you, Mel. So far, I seem to be able to get up out of bed. This technique can be “in reserve” for me. I’m currently in EMDR/CBT trauma therapies, as the pandemic has added general depression and anxiety to my life. Working through “bad habits” toward more “positive” behaviors, any kind of behavioral approach helps. The “crawling” into my day seems like a great way to get through the “molasses”-type resistance to doing much of anything! My dog has been my godsend throughout my divorce and move away from an abusive relationship AND the pandemic! As she is older, I treasure each day. Anticipation of her inevitable passing, whenever that will be, adds to my anxiety. Being older adds to my anxiety, although I believe I have made peace with MY eventual passing. Life is challenging at worst, stimulating at best. Thanks for adding to the “stimulation” in my life! Blessings!
You are a Blessing to so many! Especially to me! Love You Mel! Thank you for being real and open and sharing so many good things with the world. May you be blessed with love and peace❤️🥰❤️ Jalyne in Utah
Thank you Mel Robbins for this message. It was very useful and encouraging for me. Mel, I also want to say I’m sorry about what you experienced while facing sexual abuse at a young age and I hope you always stay safe, happy and be more free in your life.
Thank you for what you suggested about using slithering to get off the sofa at night to make myself go to bed. For years, since my husband left me with 4 small children, the sofa at night was my safe place. The day was done, they were asleep. I didn't want the next day to start. If I fell asleep the next day would come around too quickly. It is now a very bad habit which I need to break. I try 54321 but still wake up on the sofa. I will try slithering tonight.
This also represents a developmental progression from infant, toddler, to adult....which can be therapeutic to reenact because there can be energy stuck from one of those developmental stages.
I’m going through somatic experiencing now. It’s part of trauma healing. I was going to say it sounds like you need trauma therapy and limbic system retraining, if you haven’t done that. I do have that high cortisol in the morning from trauma as well, but my antidote is to get up. It goes away once I get moving because stuck trauma needs activity. My issue is it starts too early in the day, more like the middle of the night. But if I am consistent with my yoga and meditation, it doesn’t start as early. Blessings to you dear Mel. Thanks for your authenticity. You rock!
Who or what techniques do you follow for this? I've recently found videos from Sukie Baxter that have helped me. It sure would be great if there was a list of therapists who do somatic therapy & the locations they are in. Somatic therapy is excellent for trauma survivors & for those of us who grew up in chaotic, rageaholoic/alcoholic homes.
I’ve been doing this for decades I call it rolling or sliding out of bed. Slide land on knees so I remember to pray and ask for help and then roll on floor and get up.
When I’ve felt dread I grumble and keep going it takes a moment then this energy comes and I’m ok. Been doing your count down sometimes. Few times count backwards and roll over😂. Oops. When times come like that I’ll try the slither. Thanks Mel❤️✋🏽. Best wishes to your children and hubby. I will if you will Mel Robbin ❤️✋🏽👍🏾
I too have the morning anxiety and I have found that laying there only makes it worse. Due to plantar fasciitis, I have to do stretches and massage on my feet before getting out of bed that process does help me get out of my head. So I think it might be connecting to my body and focusing on the movements that helps me. (Along with prayer and entrusting myself to God’s love and care.) My knees and back won’t be okay with the slither method but I can see why it would work. In order to slither you are actually doing a novel moment and you are having to pay attention to where your body is.
Great! great! if we think well it is not logical to stand up straitght after sleeping deeply makes sense to get out bed a bit still in the process of waking up I will try this tomorrow morning! Thanks Mel😀
My problem isn’t getting up because I love getting up early, I just think of all the amazing and productive things I’m going to do during the day. However that feeling of happiness, when I’m awake and have my breakfast just poof disappears. And then I’m left on the couch and my energy is just gone. Then all the self doubts come in and I’m paralyzed the rest of the day.
I added a title to my alarm "It is a wonderful day" and the phone reads it outloud along with the hour. I find it very motivating to avoid snoozing the alarm.
It's like you've had a hidden camera in my bedroom the last few months 😅👀 Winter here in Aus and that cold weather has made getting out of the bed cocoon that much trickier! I've been trying to psych myself up with the 5 second rule, but as you say here Mel, it's not enough on those days when the depression/anxiety hits harder - keen to try the "slither" out and see if it works for me! 😊
It really is all about redirecting your focus and your attention. Once you start physical movement your brain redirects to the physical aspect. That is why even if you are not motivated to work out and you put five minutes in… Amazingly you can find yourself wanting to do more. Physical movement and exercise is such a big part of transformation. I don’t always follow it, especially over the past month but anything you can do to redirect the whirling thoughts in your brain, head and heart and move them to a physical aspect, you will most likely move yourself into the right direction and mindset
Do you have any tips for when you wake up at 2am with the anxiety of the next day? Sometimes it’s not even anxiety, but my brain just won’t shut off! Normally, I’ll move to my recliner in the living room and listen to a meditation video to help, but didn’t know if there was something else I could do?
Check out Sukie Baxter's videos. She has a lot of great quick & simple somatic techniques to get the body & mind calmed down with regard to the vagus nerve & how it controls a lot of our nervous system responses. She's great.
I love the multitude of information you provide in all of your videos BUT we need to talk about this one! I'm afraid of what I'll hurt slithering from the bed to the floor! EVEN WORSE! how the heck do I get up off the floor???? Seriously!? And then there are the handful of rescue dogs that greet me every morning! If I get on the floor with them, they'll think I'm joining their part and they'll pile on. Do you have a modified version of this technique like they do in exercise videos?. 🙄💜🙏
Overwhelm gets to me many times throughout the day. I am caring for elderly parents. My mom broke her back and my father is in a wheelchair fighting bladder cancer. My life is not my own. I wonder what they would think if I just fell on the ground and slithered around. Btw, I know of your father. I live in Muskegon. We probably know some of the same people. Just throwing that out there as a random thought.
Your Amazing Truly..I feel like this too 🥲🙏All of Your videos help me. I love the manifestation videos. Depression confines me to my bed most days. Thank You Sincerely.
I did this by instinct as a kid and teenager off and on when my heart felt too heavy to lift. Interesting that it has a name and a background in psychology now. I thought I was just weird. Lol.
Lol 😂crack me up 🤪Mel when you said we just met I shouldn’t be laying down. Lol Thanks for always being you and I love learning from you Mel! Have a super day!
Helpful. Have u ever considered developing a program for struggling teens? My son would slither off the bed then fall asleep again. I struggle to motivate him to move even a little , it’s not as easy for some.
There's so much stuff beside my bed i can hardly STEP out of bed .. slithering isn't possible at all. In my defence my bed is my office with office supplies, notebooks etc all around me, plus my bed is my dining area (brother took over kitchen table) so i have supplies for eating, there's exercise equipment underfoot. 😂 hahaha i LIVE on the side of my bed!

What an amazingly authentic and vulnerable video. ❤️
Great video Mell!!! Thanks for all you share! Pat from Orlando

I’ve been doing this for decades I call it rolling or sliding out of bed. Slide land on knees so I remember to pray and ask for help and then roll on floor and get up.
I feel so cozy in the morning it's hard to get up and I can't seem to get to sleep until 2am but when I do my day is so much better.

I did this by instinct as a kid and teenager off and on when my heart felt too heavy to lift. Interesting that it has a name and a background in psychology now. I thought I was just weird. Lol.
The slither out of bed trick has been helpful.
What is weird is I get nervous about be nervous in the morning?
Oh dear Mel, I know sexual abuse too. I stay asleep as long as I can get away with. I'm soo behind and drowning in clutter.
Lol 😂crack me up 🤪Mel when you said we just met I shouldn’t be laying down. Lol Thanks for always being you and I love learning from you Mel! Have a super day!
Helpful. Have u ever considered developing a program for struggling teens? My son would slither off the bed then fall asleep again. I struggle to motivate him to move even a little , it’s not as easy for some.
I have no problems getting our of bed in the morning. It doesn't matter whether it is 4:00 am or 9:00 am. I wake up a get up right away.
🙏
MEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!do you wear your glasses to/in bed??
Not while I'm sleeping but when I'm awake I need them to see lol!! 😂
What if you don't want to get off the floor? And just lay there.
❤😭
You watch guilty by association
🥰🥰🥰🥰
There's so much stuff beside my bed i can hardly STEP out of bed .. slithering isn't possible at all.
In my defence my bed is my office with office supplies, notebooks etc all around me, plus my bed is my dining area (brother took over kitchen table) so i have supplies for eating, there's exercise equipment underfoot. 😂 hahaha i LIVE on the side of my bed!
My bladder has an alarm clock that makes sure i get up whether i'm ready or not. 😉
Absolutely I have the same problem but I could keep the whole side clear and clean with the effort.
Ioh my gosh I love you Mel except my BEd too high if I did that I'd probably break something LOL
Men: Find a woman as attractive and energetic as Mel and your problems are gone.
I’m sorry you were abused. That’s scary.
