4 Steps to Getting Out of Bed

Some days do you find it hard to get out of bed and get on with the day?

I did today! I can hardly sleep at night anymore with this big belly (I still have 2 more months left to go) and I have to fight feelings of inadequacy (as a mother of soon to be 6, homeschooling and still being creative and my books) daily.

Here are 3 little ways that seem to help me! If you have any suggestions on what works for getting you out of a funk, let us know :)

1. Prayer: Start off with a prayer (family prayers help tremendously too)
2. Scriptures: Read a page at least of scripture and take a moment to analyse it and really soak it in (doing this with my kids really helps me get into it when conversation is going back and forth. Even a simple discussion with a toddler helps)
3. Testimony: Share your testimony with someone, (your children, family, friend, parents, sister, etc.). It can be short and sweet like today I shared my testimony of the spirit, after we scripture study and prayers. I wanted them to know how to recognize the spirit.
4. Charity: Help someone! Helping your children counts too! Make sure you count that! It's important to realize that helping our family/children and even making a lunch for our husbands counts as service.

Just knowing that I can make a difference in the world, no matter how small, helps me get out of bed and repeat it all over again!

Change things up if the above 4 don't seem to help. Read from the Old Testament or even try your hand at Revelations for a change. Share your testimony with your parents or grandparents in a letter and tell them how they have inspired you. Make your favorite dessert and deliver it to someone you feel needs a boost as well!
