Mornings Your Body Will Not Start

A short plan for mornings when getting up feels impossible.

Purpose: A short plan for mornings when getting up feels impossible.

When to use: Use this on a morning you are still in bed and dreading the first move.

Worksheet prompts

  1. What feels worst right now?
  2. Three things you can do without getting up.
    A drink, a stretch, the curtains, a slow breath.
  3. What is the very first movement you will try?
  4. If today turns out to be a bed day, what is the plan?
    Food within reach, a message to someone, nothing on the list.

Some mornings take an hour. That hour is not wasted time.
