Title: Besides work and bathroom, what is your reason to get out of bed?
Post by: mapiklfish on September 13, 2018, 04:16:54 pm
Besides having to go to the bathroom or go to work, what keeps you going?  I don't really have one anymore.  Now that my horses are gone, there is no reason to get up or go outside.  They were my reason to get up and get outside every day.  I had 2 of my granddaughters visit for the summer and they were a reason to get up but, they have gone back home now.

I get up out of bed to exercise first thing in the morning... the endorphins become addictive & I miss it when I don't do it.  It's hard initially to start up to exercise, but after a couple weeks, it becomes second nature.

That is why it is important for people to have companion animals... like a dog or a cat -- or like your horses, it gives people a reason to get up.

Things to  do, places to go. I am not one for staying in bed, maybe because  I was not able to  for the longest time. first going to school, then  being a farmer/ranchers wife for years, plus the kids  having to get up and go to school. Then being on my own working than then going to school on top of it.  It just i never seemed to have the time to sty in bed.

I have children, grand-children, and now two great-grand-children.

I believe God gave me this life, and He alone can decide when I will no longer get up.

I am sorry you are not happy. We all go trough times like that.

Have you thought of moving close to those grandkids? They are a great motivator.

The main reason I get up promptly in the summer and fall is to tend my garden. I grow pumpkins every year, and their flowers only bloom once in the early morning, so I get up early to make sure they are pollinated, do some watering and such. It's a good incentive to keep my sleep schedule on track.

I try to remember to be grateful for the life God has given me even on days when I'm not feeling very well. I find that, if I can, getting out of bed and doing something, anything will make me feel a little better just by distraction.

I have a ulcer on my tailbone. I'm in a wheelchair most of the time that's how I got it.  The nurse 2ants me to lie on my side  most of the day. So hard  makes me tir3d watching TV or on the tablet.  Would rather stand to get weight  off it so will do that .

Because if I don't get out bed, and just give up, 'they' win.  Some days, it's just sheer stubbornness that keeps me moving.

I get up every morning because every day brings me closer to my goals. Everyday holds the chance of hearing about triumphs my son, daughter or wife have accomplished. I get up because two of the loves in my life, my golden retrievers, need to stretch their legs and go to the bathroom. I get up to smell the fresh air, drive my old jeep, see people smile, learn new things, and provide support/love/an open ear to anyone who needs me. I live my life in the service of others which helps me find myself. My days are incomplete with out someone drawing happiness from merely interacting with me and the positivity I always aim to provide. If I can create just one smile my whole day has been a success. If I learn something it is so that I can share the knowledge with another.

Trust me. You shouldn't want a snooze button. Such a thing can reinforce you to sleep in too long. We humans are supposed to be able to sleep more at night and not need more than 10 hours of sleep.

Have thought about it but, my dad sank all his money into an addition on our house after my mom had several strokes and he had to move back so I could help take care of her.  So, I can't really sell my house as long as he is alive, even though, he only spends 24 hrs here and the rest of the week at The Girlfriend's.

To see another day and because I'm able to.  Some people would like to get up and can't so I'm enjoying it plus my back starts to hurt if I lay down for a very long time.  I usually take a nap during the day but I always get up in the morning  unless I'm sick.
