myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1509)2 years ago

We started the getting more steps discussion and there are a few of us that have been motivated to try to get more steps to help us become healthier. Well, I thought maybe I needed to start a discussion to motivate me to take better care of myself. I absolutely hate having to do the face stuff when I get up and before I go to bed. The face stuff, like washing my face and putting on the lotion, etc. I do make my bed and do my devotional reading and Bible reading but then it is in the kitchen for my coffee or tea and then trying to get woke up. I am not a morning person at all and it takes me a long time to get going. I know I am just going to have to make myself to these things or they won't get done. Are there others out there that have this same struggle? Thanks for reading and God bless you.

I do not wish to sound like a jerk, but fear is an excellent motivation. Tell yourself what could happen if you do not get motivated. If you do not like washing your face, remind yourself what happens to some of those who don't. You still won't like it, but you might be more willing to take the extra time out of your day.

There are consequences aren't there? Thanks for your opinion and post. Have a blessed day!

Yes, exactly. I forget which, but I was told that from some show or program that I was watching. They were saying that if a person motivates himself or herself by providing a penalty and keeping up with it, he or she would get a lot more done.

This s a very good discussion becausei am the same way not a morning person i think that is why i am not getting as many steps as i should i will sleep some days till ten,but am with you i need to start making myself get and get going but it takes me for ever to wake up.Ok what do you have in mine what time do get up,i am going to try and start getting up at 6:30.The only reason i am up now it because i had to make my son a DRs.appointment.So let me know no what need to do to get us both going.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1509)  2 years ago

I woke up at 6 this morning but kept telling myself I didn't have to get up that early, I could rest so I didn't get up until 7. I want to get up around 6 or 6:30 and have the beautiful day ahead of me. I got to get all this figured out so I can get myself self-discipline. That is my biggest problem!!!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. kebpete (6858)   ranked 2 out of 3 in taking care of myself  2 years ago

Thats me i am awake at 5:30 when my husband gets up and then i go back to sleep and he wakes me when he leaves at 6:30 but i am so tired i feel like i ahve not slept i am just as tired when i wake up as i am when i wake up.I ahve got to start getting up.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1509)  2 years ago

Oh my! Kebpete! I am exactly like that . In fact, I feel worse than when I went to bed. I cannot figure out why I feel this way. I think I'll set my alarm for 6 or 6:30 in the morning and when I have my alarm set, I tend to wake up before it goes off. I'll try to trick myself into getting up. Are you up to the challenge of getting up at 6:30?


myLot reputation of 95/100. kebpete (6858)   ranked 2 out of 3 in taking care of myself  2 years ago

Oh yes you know me and a good challenge so i will be up bright and early and thanks to your prayers i have a sitting job to do in the morning with a lady in he 80s who is recovering from brain surgery so that will help me to start my day washing my face and creams and now we have to this every day.

I am not a morning person at all but I do get up early try to get everything done quickly and then I feel better but today the hoover was still sat in the middle of the floor at 4 o clock this afternoon I was just not in the mood today.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamacathie (1509)  2 years ago

OH, selby??? You just might have answered another one of my problems. How do you get everything done of the morning before you do anything else. I want to do like I used to . I would get up early and by 8 or 9 I have the whole house perfectly clean and had the rest of the day free to do what I wanted to do . I want to get back that way again.
