Coming to terms with reality

thanks @NikNik

was weird and didn't want to lose anyone

so @eudemonism sounds good you have a large family of people whom you choose to be in your family....I like that thinking

LoL @Adek

That is great tip. Not only wake up but the other benefits are great too 🙂 You made my day. Cheers,

Thanks @Former-Member, I feel motivated to get up.

I have been going to be late as well ... so naturally not enough sleep I suppose. I am going try @Adek 's tip of and drink enough to so at least I can get up. Lets see.

I totally get that feeling of heavy eyes... loathing myself for not getting out of bed.

I can bearly make to work now (restructuring at workplace and people are stressed about the security of their jobs).... and also miss breaky at times. I do not fuction properly without my breakfast.

I set my alarm. No help. I left it far from the bed and for couple of night it worked because I was not too sure about the alarm and jummed out of the bed. Then back the struggle.

If I can get up just before dawn I will feel like I have conqured the world.

Good night @Former-Member all the best to you as well 🙂

@Former-Member

I think responding thoughfully and sharing what works for us is the way to go. So we can try and it may and may not work. Better try differnt options than do nothing.

Also posing questions to seek answers fro differnt perspectives will be great.

Have great day everyone 🙂

good philosopy

nice chatting

good night

Hi @eudemonism

I am out bed latest by 7am. I just want to get up early so I can engage in prayer & meditation before I do anything else. When I was able to do get up early do the prayer & mediation I feel so good. During the day I feel more energetic and alert too.

Taking photos that great. Share some with us. What kind of photos do you take? Being in the nature is always great. On rare occassion I have slept until 11am and also go to bet by 8:00pm.

Enjoy your day 🙂 and good night.

@eudemonismHi, hope you had a great day 🙂

I came across your post and it is interesting. I wanted to share my thoughts based on my experiences.

I like your view of making changes to mental attitude. I fight with my lack of will power to get up before dawn and now you got different challenges. Yes, there is possibility to be medication free [depending on the attitude, perseverance and prayer] Why prayer because we are not in control of everything. Specially with systems.

You have provided good reasons and have the skills to bring about change. Change is the only constant thing. With change we learn and grow. So embrace change and dive in for an adventure. The hard part is to put into action. I do not know much about drugs. I have read enough to know it is something to keep away from and encourage others to stay away and give up if using.

I grew up in a family that did not know about relationship. I learnt by watching and avoiding things that I did like. Even giving up friends. You are so right bad environments and bad influence are not helpful to build a good character.

Quality life and relationship are something we have to work on. It required a lot of effort. It is not available we have to search and then kind of create. If I make sense.

Fear of the unknown is a great set back. To conquer fear, the tool I use is prayer. I pray to the Creator/Owner of the universe. The King/God of humankind. So I feel under protection and feel more secure.

Life is what we make. The obstacles we face and how we overcome those is how our life will be defined.Give no thought for tomorrow, escape what is 'hard to escape'. If I can reflect and think of what is good I have no excuse not walk towards the good.

I am glad you 'become the ugly duckling' that gives you the opportunity to become the beautiful/handsome swan.

All the best keep smiling 🙂
