What motivates you getting up in the morning?

[Mazaxist]

So its pretty simple question. What motivates you getting up in the morning?
2nd part of the question - what are things you do in the morning to make it easier on you?

The reason why i am asking is - when i wake up in the morning i feel like crap... even if i go to bed before 12. I have to wake up at 6:30-7AM everyday and go to work. Sometimes i feel like calling in sick because i feel so bad! like i feel tired and just dont feel like getting up!!! Im sure a lot of people dont want to get up as well, but u gotta.

I tell myself "hey, if u dont get up right now u will lose 175 bucks today, and wont be able to buy that new ipod u wanted" lol after that i get up quickly and go...

edit : Also riding my motorcycle in the morning helps me stay awake Splitting traffic is srs bsns

edit2: also when i get on my bike i see this one girl whos always gets in her car at the same time i get on my bike so i always tell myself "hey look, if a chick can do it, so can you!" lol

What about you?

I have a condition that means I feel pain every day for no good reason. I get up even though it hurts because I am interested in my own quality of life. Its resource management / impulse control. I could spend all my savings tonight partying like Charlie Sheen, or I could make sure I keep a roof over my head, food in my belly, and a reasonable amount of entertainment(pleasure) flowing in consistently. I understand just how good I could feel using all of my resources now, but I also understand how bad it will feel when those resources are gone.

So I show up to work. I budget my spending. I have a left-over night. And I preserve my happiness for both today and the foreseeable future. I try to keep in mind what investments/sacrifices I can make now that will net me bigger gains of pleasure in the future.

I can't motivate myself for anything, but I still get up anyway. I just tell myself that I have no choice. I pretty much feel like crap until I get home in the evening.

[Lysah]

I wake up in the morning so that I wont fail and disappoint my fiancee.

[psir]

I have a guy who wakes me up every morning, and if I don't... I get a fine

[Nekhetyo]

Don't getting up = Absence at school and Notification.(which will look bad on my report card).

Absence = Don't learn all the stuff.

Don't learn all the stuff = Not good grades.

Not good grades = No med school.

That's my motivation almost every morning.

[Spherea]

Going to work gets me excited. Get cash, buy stuff=Happy!

[Obtuse]

The alarm clock. Nothing motivates me to get out of bed more then that damn buzzing.

After the covers are off, I'm wide awake. Couldn't go back to bed if I tried.

[yomon347]

I just think about that warm cup of strong coffee, once it is in my system I am usually g2g for the rest of the day.

[Lethill]

A 110 decibel alarm positioned somewhere which requires me to get out of bed to turn it off.
Without that, I'd sleep for 12 hours a day or more.

There isn't much motivation these days, just fear of the negative consequences of sleeping in and missing work/classes.

[soundbot]

Life.

Alarm clock helps.

One Ritalin in the morning and I'm good to go!

[Deleted]

Knowing that it's one day closer to weekend =)

[PWDirect]

My 2 daughters..

Also my wife would totally bend my ear about not helping her get the kids ready for school if I didn't get up.

[dwarven]

I wake up because my body is done sleeping.

[Mazaxist]

Knowing that it's one day closer to weekend =)

lol thats a good one.

I obviously have an alarm. Its just i really feel tired when i get up - for about first 30 min. Then it gets better. I get to work at 8 and get a cup of coffee. Im not exactly sure if it actually helps, i think it does or maybe i just force myself to believe it does.

Fridays arent so bad though but mondays mornings suck big time

[Groovus]

Nothing.

Remember that guy you saw? The one living in a cardboard box with all the cables running into it? Yeah.
