How to get motivated to go to work when you feel awful?

[QUOTE=Karen;2116151]Before you go to bed, set up your "morning greeting" - a favorite mug and (herbal) tea - or whatever warm drink is your favorite, water in the kettle ready just to have the heat turned on, and some little pleasant something to read set by your waiting mug - Bible verse if you are religious, a book of inspirational quotes - something small but nice to greet your day. So that when you need to get out of bed for work in the morning, just nice things await ...QUOTE]

This is pretty much my morning routine. I used to have a small microwave and fridge in my bedroom but I removed them because the fridge turned on all night long and kept me awake plus it's bad feng shui. Anyhow, I have a bed tray and I sip my morning coffee in bed while I read something inspirational. By the time I'm done w/my coffee, I'm ready to go and I'm not homicidal, as you say. LOL

Can you work in a nap? LOL, I slept a lot. I would wake up in the am, to visit the bathroom, and go sleep on the couch. I found most of my issues were sleep related, I did get a body pillow, and slept, slept, slept. Kind of like I do now, come to think of it!!!

You may find you develop a boost of energy soon, and might not spend the next 43 days having problems getting out of bed.
