Waking up sad and low

Does anyone have any suggestions to waking up in a good mood. I'm always waking up sad and my day stays low and sad. The odd occasion I wake up feeling good I stay feeling good. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP if you can! MY DAILY LOVE TO YOU ALL - DARTH XXXX

I try to get a good night sleep. Although the past few days have been rough doing that. Maybe make plans to do something you enjoy doing. Try to keep a positive attitude. I am still trying to find the answer to your question myself. What I do is that when I am blessed with a good day I take full advantage of it. I get outside and do all of the things I wished I could do when I wasnt feeling so good.

Hey there Darth man, I can tell you that just waking up is the good part, but like you said, finding a happy place can be a challenge.
You might try meditation for even 5 minutes in the morning to sort of get your brain centered. It helps me a bit and then I get moving around and looking for the first rush of jetfuel coffee!

I try to tell myself every morning as soon as I open my eyes, "I feel good. Today is going to be a great day". It makes me smile if nothing else. Take care.
