How Do You Get Out Of Bed On a Monday Morning?

The covers are warm. The world feels… like a lot.

And your to-do list? Yep, still there.

For some, getting up is automatic.

For others, it takes everything they’ve got.

Here’s a gentle truth:

The way you start your day matters—but so does how you meet yourself in that first moment.

Try this simple two-step ritual before reaching for coffee or checking your phone:

✨ Step 1
Place a hand on your heart or belly.
Take a slow, deep breath.
Ask: “What’s one small thing I need right now?”
It might be water, a gentle full body stretch, or just a quiet pause.

Then take one small step in that direction. Even if it’s just swinging your legs to the floor.

✨ Step 2
When you feel ready, ask: “How do I want to feel today?”
Calm? Capable? Connected?

Choose one word. Let it guide your choices. Not as pressure, but as a gentle compass.

You’ve got this. One breath, one kind step forward at a time.
