You wake up. Stretch your arms and let out a big yawn. You look around the familiar surrounding of your room and think about the things you have to do.
“The day hasn’t started yet but I feel too tired already.”
You spend the next five minutes rolling to your side, then to the other and lying flat on your back again.
“What should I do?”
You very well know the things you have to do. Feed the dogs, cook breakfast, call your mom and say hi, text your girlfriend good morning and that’s just a few after waking up. Then you remembered what your mom used to say when you used to live with her.
“It starts by taking the first step.”
Suddenly, you feel a sense of clarity and motivation flood you. Time is ticking and the day will soon end. You get up and fix your bed. Greet the sun a good morning and start doing things, one step at a time.
“This is going to be a great day.”
You say those words like a mantra, preparing you to conquer the day.
