Excited about getting up in the morning???
Are you super excited to get out of bed in the morning, or do you dread the day?
I used to be so exhausted upon waking up that I could hardly get myself to get up, because my day was so packed with stuff that I knew I wouldn’t get a break before I got back into bed - I just didn’t want to start the day as there was no stop to it.
Other times I would think about what I had to do that day, and get bored before I even started. Sometimes life seemed so predictable and the days almost repeated themselves - once I felt more confident at work and wasn’t terrified of doing any damage to my four legged patients out of lack of experience.
It’s quite amazing how we create these lives for ourselves, where we seem to not be in control and life just happens to us, and we’re like hamsters running in the wheel, secretly hoping for something drastic to happen so we can jump off, like a UFO landing in our garden, winning the lottery or inheriting an unknown uncle.
We’re full of excuses why life is just like that for us, like we don’t actually have a choice:
- Of course I’m busy, I have to take the kids to all these activities so they can have more chances in life
- I need to take these extra courses so I can become a better veterinarian
- I have to stay in this job to pay the mortgage
- I can’t earn more money, because I’m not as lucky as X,W,Z… My parents aren’t rich and I just don’t have the same opportunities as other people
- My partner is useless at housework - I have to do it all by myself or it won’t get done properly
- Etc etc…
Thing is, we think these things are facts, that we don’t actually have a choice, that that’s just how it is. When you’re stressed out or anxious or overwhelmed you cannot see past your own nose and get the bigger picture, a clear perspective.
If you’re not excited to get up in the morning, you want to take a step back and question what you’re doing. You don’t need to be happy and exhilarated about your life every day, but for sure it shouldn’t feel like groundhog day either!!
