The alarm goes off and you snooze for another hour.The idea of getting out of bed and starting your day is almost too much to handle.

There is absolutely NOTHING that you’re looking forward to. In fact, it’s fair to say you’re absolutely DREADING the day.

Here are a few simple steps to get you passed the point of crawling under a rock for all eternity:

1. Define Your Personal Mission Statement

Chances are, if you’re feeling completely drained, you’re doing work that’s not aligned with your values. By defining a personal mission statement, you can flip your perspective and focus more attention on tasks that align with your mission. To create your mission statement, start by answering these questions:

- What do I want to do?
- Who do I want to help?
- What is the result? What value will I create?

Stay tuned next week for a complete mission statement how-to.

2. Sweat It Out

Unless you’ve been under that rock I mentioned above for a REALLY long time, you know that exercise helps elevate your mood. When you absolutely do not want to workout, that’s the exact time when you SHOULD. Get moving with something fun – you really don’t have to be chained to the treadmill for this to work.

3. Fuel Up Right

One of the reasons I love, love, LOVE talking about food (aside from it being delicious!) is that what you put in your body has a huge effect on how you feel – both physically and mentally. To clear some of the “gunk” that’s dragging you down, start your day with warm lemon water with cayenne and a green smoothie. Load up with a huge leafy green salad for lunch. Go meatless for dinner (veggie burritos or one-pot quinoa, anyone?). And of course, hydrate like a mofo. Divide your weight by 2 to get a rough estimate of the oz. of H2O you need daily.

4. Call Me!

As a coach, I work with clients all the time who are going through EXACTLY what I described above. Hell, I’ve been there myself! Overwhelm, underwhelm, lack of motivation and inspiration – whatever it is that’s got you dreading the day, we can work through it.Schedule a free Breakthrough Session to get you back to feeling great. Remember, procrastination is NOT your friend!
