Today I didn't want to get out of bed. Last night I had to get up a couple times with the baby plus Matt woke up with leg pains. I was exhausted. I got up not wanting to accomplish much. However I have been trying to get a grip on things and focus on the positive things in life. So I got everyone up, fed them breakfast, got my shower done, gave baths, and even jumped on the elliptical for 15 minutes straight without anyone doing something to make me have to get off.
Before I knew it my day was actually going well. Sometimes I just need a little push in the right direction. But it is up to me to make that happen which can be hard at times.
I know there are people in much worse situations - there are people who get up every day despite illness which can be painful. There are people battling cancer, long term disease, or other illness that makes getting up hard. There are people waking up like I did 3 years ago trying to figure out how to make it thru the fact their child is no longer here. There are people all over who are hurting so I need to get my butt out of bed and make my day a good one.
When I work out on the elliptical I like to read motivational pieces. Whether it is little quotes or stories that make me get inspired. It helps set me in the right mood. It has been helping - I have been making these changes over the past few months. I feel better. I feel more focused and alive.
I will just keep plugging away - focusing on the positive each day.
