Waking up? Inertia. Takes five alarms.

Getting up from bed? Inertia. Takes half an hour.

Making the bed? Inertia. 2 days out of 7.

And on and on it goes.

How do I become one of them “up and at em” types? A real go getter bucko?

    Depends on the reason. If you're like me, and have fatigue through illness that is not ADHD, then I suggest 3 things

    • get more sleep
    • stand in the sun for a bit
    • accept that you might not be able to do as much as you want that day, and that's okay.

    Seriously, letting go of the guilt of not getting stuff done is a game changer. It happens, accept and move on. Don't just say 'oh I've got to do this or that' and then not do anything.

      The sun is magic and always makes me feel better, especially when it's a nice day. Do not underestimate the power of the sun. :praise-it:

        That's actually probably the power of your skin. If the sun hits that hard you are probably vitamin D defficent. Supplements help a little, not that much though, mostly you just need to let your body cook
