Let’s face it, getting out of bed feels impossible some days. Whether you are struggling with depression, stress, or exhaustion, it can be extremely difficult to get up and start the day. As someone who struggles with depression, I can personally share the truth that it is not laziness that is causing many of us not to get out of bed in the morning. Rather, it is the depression, the stress, the overwhelming feelings, the anxiety, or the pure exhaustion causing us to stay put.If you have been struggling to get out of bed in the morning, know it is not laziness. As adults, we normally do not stay in bed for no reason. There is a reason we are extremely tired and don’t want to face the day. These are issues that often need to be addressed with a doctor or therapist; however, not everyone has the financial resources to get this kind of help. If you are able to get help from doctors and therapists you should, but if you can’t, there are many things you can try on your own.Consider these five ways to get out of bed when you don't feel like it:1. Plan Something in the Morning That You Look Forward ToOne way to get out of bed when you don’t feel like it is to plan something in the morning that you look forward to. By having something planned that you are looking forward to, you will be more prone to want to get out of bed in the morning. This could be to plan to go for a morning walk, to do some gardening, or have some time to read a book you are really enjoying. Any of these things can help motivate you to get out of bed in the morning and give you a reason to get up. This might be hard to plan every day, but try it for a week and see if it helps. Try to plan something different each day to give variety to your mornings. After a week, you might be able to see which things help you get more motivated to get out of bed in the morning and stick with those things. If you struggle with depression, getting outside in the morning hours can particularly help your depression. Therefore, doing something, such as gardening, going for a walk, or reading outside are all things that can help you feel better in the morning. Photo Credit: ©GettyImages/Prostock-Studio
