I was just empathizing with a friend about how hard mornigs are-and decided to post about it.

Oh yes, mornings...Mornings are a time where I have to start over from scratch, both physically and mentally. I have been finding out there is a big difference, though, if I prepare for it the night before. I like to try to forget what it is going to be like when I wake up-but I am going to try to start remembering on purpose and laying stuff out the night before. My medicine-a bottle of water-have a CD or playlist ready to play-clothes-a to do list of very simple things I have written the night before. The times I have done that it really helps to keep me from getting "stuck" where it can take hours to get up enough courage to move and do.

Mornings. They come 356 times a year. That's a lot of mornings!

Anybody have some stategies they use to face the morning monster?
