It is and we hardly address it. So hopefully these tips make the mornings more bearable.

this may be a strange thing to say but your voice is very well suited to be a therapist ❤ it’s so soothing and comforting

Aww thanks for such a sweet and kind comment. It means alot!

That’s what I love taking a shower at night because it’s more relaxing and calming

It really is!

I know that depression can be different for everyone and on some days I absolutely don’t feel like doing my makeup but sometimes it helps in order to not lay back into bed. I find myself struggling with coming up with motivation for those things but it always helps me to watch grwm videos on KZread

I do the same for cleaning motivation it helps watching someone do the action I’m trying to achieve 👍🏻

I love your approach to take it gentle in the morning! Such a refreshing perspective that I needed!

Thank you

I definitely have to get up slowly I snooze my alarm to go off in 10 mins I spend that time stretching in bed and my alarm is a gentle motivational song. brushing my teeth before I do anything else in the morning helps wake me up more. I have a tshirt and sweatpants combo that I go to when I know Im having a day

I love that your alarm is a motivational song! Those alarm sounds can be so jarring! Sounds like you are working toward a morning routine that works for you 💕

Gentle mornings with small kids.. I don't feel like there's not much room for my emotions these days.. Also, the better my sleep is and my sleep hygiene, the better the mornings. But life is unpredictable.

While I can’t fully understand your experience since I don’t have kids of my own. Even just a small moment in the morning where you splash water take a deep breathe just to let your body know it’s okay. I have so much admirations for moms you all have so much on your plate and if you haven’t heard it today I am so proud of you ❤️ it’s not easy being a mom and I know you’re trying your best.

@@cafewithmonica it's easy to put the focus outside of you, but making space for myself, even if it's just 5 minutes will make a difference ❤️ Thank you for your video and your thoughts 🙏🏼

I’ve had clients have similar experiences and taking it at night has helped but definitely follow up with your doctor to make sure it’s the right dosage for you sometimes you’ll just need to tweek it with your doctor. I hope it works out for you and you see improvement.

Hopefully Exercise/plan/walk

Re: the decaf, even changing to half caf can be helpful if you can't bear to let go of caffeine completely!
