Hey Mark,

I understand that you are having hard times in the mornings.
So here, let's anticipate it together, OK?

So, what do you like to do that usually improves your mood? Could it be music from you stereo? How about some exercise to kick up those endorphins? Make a list of things you think you like that could IMMEDIATELY improve your mood and schedule those activities!!! If possible, get out of the house so you immediately put yourself into a place that you HAVE TO BE.

Maybe since you like exercise so much, you could make a sandwich the night before, put it in the fridge. Then as soon as you get up, grab your sandwich and your coffee and head to the gym FIRST THING.

I took up tennis for exactly the same reasons. Now I am getting so much better at my hobby and I can count on the endorphins rush to put me in a happy mood for the rest of the day.

So, put a list together. What can you do to get out of the funk?
