4 Counterintuitive Reasons To Get Up In The Morning

This article is more than 10 years old.

You hate your job.

You won’t get a new one unless you find it, secure it, and then quit the one you despise with a theatrical flourish you will be proud of for years to come. None of that is possible if you hit snooze until noon.

You’re irked at everything and nothing all at once.

Wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Best not to stay there. Hop up, move around, shower, and shake it off. If you don’t, the crankiness will cling to you like a wet shirt.

No one really cares what you do today.

That is just one way to describe freedom. If nobody is watching you, you can do whatever you want. If it really matters to you that someone cares, then today is the day to start looking for that person.

You don’t care about much of anything anymore.

Everything is gray. Uninspiring. Bland. You give zero damns about every topic and individual you encounter. You need help, and it’s out there for you. Today is the day to get up and find it. You’re online right now, so start googling, emailing, and getting better.
