Warnings
- If you always feel wretched about the day ahead, realize that you have the power to change it. Just like that. All it takes is changing your attitude and wanting to start the day off well.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- If you feel groggy, unwell or tired every single morning you wake up, consider discussing this with your health practitioner. Of course, if you are going to bed late all the time and not getting sufficient sleep, it is important to address that so that you are getting sufficient sleep each night. However, in some cases even with sufficient sleep you can feel terrible in the mornings, and it is important to ensure that you aren't suffering from a medical condition that might be causing this.⧼thumbs_response⧽
