    I had a counselor once tell me that “motivation typically comes from doing.” I guess most people say “motivation” when they mean “inspiration”

    So what does “getting motivated in the morning” mean to you? What does that look like?

    To me It looks like a nightly routine of positive self-talk while visualizing myself getting up the next morning to carry out my planned agenda as I first close my eyes. ‐I have more success at getting out of bed when I have already established a firm idea of what I’m getting up for.

      All that visualization would have me excited to get started. I’d be up all night thinking about the plan, then be too exhausted to even get out of bed when it’s finally time to actually get started.
