3 Ways To Thrive in The Morning with Depression🙂

💫If you suffer from any type of Mental Illness, you know just getting out of bed is tough! I remember just dreading the mornings, thank God for my dog who has to go out😂! Not all of you have a pup, so let me give you some tips on how to THRIVE in the mornings when you feel like crap😔

1. Always start your day with GRATITUDE: Even when things seem grim, just thank the Lord you were able to open your eyes 👀 This means He gave you another chance at life…so use it!!

2. Even if you work from home or have no where to go, always make time for hygiene and a balance breakfast 🍳:

There were so many days I went without showering and eating, my body just couldn’t move. I felt like what’s the use I have nothing to get clean for. Eating was always the last thing on my mind, ( you can’t tell that now🐷😂)I just couldn’t bring myself to think that far. But NOW, I know that getting up, dressing up, and eating something healthy gives you more confidence to start the day even if it’s hanging around the house. It’s about self-care and taking care of you😃🛁

3. Find a Hobby: During my worse times I became creative, I planted, made jewelry, journal. I didn’t know my thumb was so green 🍃and my jewelry came out absolutely fabulous, even sold a couple of pieces. So dig down into you soul and find out what you are good at. Maybe it’s talking to older people, helping someone less fortunate than you, or just singing or writing. Whatever it is, I promise it will give you a reason to get up in the morning and find reasons to THRIVE!!!
