Struggling to get out of bed in the morning? Try THIS hack! | Mel Robbins

[@Maxhindle]

I used to hate mornings but now I love them because when I wake up I start my morning a bit slower, as I wake up a little earlier… the nighttime routine is where it starts, shut off from blue light before you sleep, make the morning empowering with meditation, motivation and inspiration to who you want to become! 🙏🏽❤️

[@katja-2kat.s]

If you're capable of the evening routine, you're already very very lucky...

[@rudranimukerji1685]

Your videos are sometimes one of the few things that can help me get out of bed. It is 4pm and I've been in bed all day and I think I'm going to get out of bed, after watching this. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@Pro_Se_Protoge]

Maybe throw in several push ups before you get on your feet too? I can’t wait to try this. I struggle so hard getting out of bed in the mornings

[@misspeacelove7395]

I LOVE this! I tried it the other day after you mentioned it and it was amazing. The little bump also helps to wake you up and it made me smile too because it´s a bit funny. I sat with my duvet on the floor for about 10 minutes drinking water. It was a great start to the day rather than stressing from the go as it does calm you. If you stay in bed chances are you´re going to lay down and I find sleeping again after you wake up, even for a short time, changes my day quite a bit; more tired, less focused etc. I think you´re supposed to get up when you wake up and it´s close to when you´ve set your alarm. Thanks Mel🙂

[@nicoleb4295]

Ty Mel! I just started working overnight shifts 4 days a weekl and your video gives me a way to start a morning gently and slowly.

[@pjsopinion8028]

I love how so unbelievably real you are! Thank you for seeing all of us living with depression and other debilitating conditions, and truly caring about helping us make it through and out of the dark places we find ourselves. I adore you Mel! 🙏🏻❤️

[@isabeldolores1285]

Absolutely love this Mel, im dojng something similarly, when im woke with anxiety Im using selfcare methods: im safe, Im worth, move forward....remembering myself what my Nana always said: WHATEVER HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE ALWAYS; Woke up, Dress up, Move forward x

[@milliem8051]

I struggle with mornings and my sleep schedule, I will try this.

[@vanessasarritzu853]

That’s what my 6 year old daughter does😀and actually after that she is so energetic ! I can’t believe it!

[@TheMediumChannel]

I usually slither out of bed anyway lol...but what works with me is that I get my pillow to the floor, I get in meditation posture and I do breathwork...Supernatural Breathing from Joe Dispenza which is a variation of a Yoga breath I learned years ago does the trick, it changes the melatonin to serotonin in the brain through squeezing the spinal fluids up, and also brings the energy of the lower chakras into the crown...this will wake you up, will alleviate anxiety/depression and get the day started right..starting is always the hardest part but after 5 or 6 breaths you start to feel the change...then I meditate 30-60 minutes followed by cold shawer..then Yoga...my spiritual practice is 24/7...hope this comment helps someone. Namaste

[@christineo8510]

Usually I have to pee in the morning so once I'm out of bed and I'm still quite sleepy I sit in a chair.. I consider that my halfway point but I want to try out your method. Hi from Toronto, ON Mel!

[@27baisers]

Mel thank you so much for sharing your advices with us. It is so precious to me, I have no-one else around me to tell me teach me these things. Thank you with all my heart

[@danasurova9375]

Are you alone?

[@spreadlovemonday5274]

Loving gratitude for you Mel ♥️♥️

[@4annegs]

I REALLY have learned so much from you! It is your COMPLETE HONESTY & VULNERABILITY that's so appealing & begs my spirit to make life changes. You are a true gift to our nation & I pray that your methods, advice & videos reach as many people as possible! (It feels like our entire nation needs a 5 second rule & help out of their depression.) Enjoy your new home!🥳❤️🥳 How exciting & scary! (I STILL haven't unpacked! We bought (first time) & moved into our dream home 7 yrs AGO!)

[@melrobbins]

Thank you so much for the support ❤️

[@tingting7856]

Love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scrolling with blanket is the best hack!!!!! It avoid the coldness right after getting out of the bed!!! Thank you!!!

[@dib4152]

At my worst I try waiting until I have to pee, and then I do one more thing as well as peeing, e.g., brushing teeth. I find it important to keep myself from going back to bed, even if I just lie down on the couch 😀. Each time I got to the toilet, I do one more thing. I also watch Mels videos. It also helps to not have a ridiculously soft comfy bed.

[@heycathey1593]

I have done something like this for quite a long time. The "intellectual" vs. "physical" disconnect point is so real.

[@alexandrastjarna]

Thank you for sharing this! Absolutely love this honoring of your actual feelings. So refreshing in comparsion to all "Just get your shit together"-tricks out there. Thank you! ❤

[@danasurova9375]

It help to get up,but it doesn't help me to feel better after,that's why I don't want to wake up.. that's why is so hard to push my self as I know I won't feel better anyway

[@cathienelson5978]

Been following you for a few weeks~~you are literally "saving my life". And I'm also sharing lots of your advice with my husband, who has an intense job. Thankyou sooo very much!!! ♡♡....you are a true °friend°.

[@ajlazana9244]

Will use it tomorrow!!! Mel you are the best with practical tools♥️♥️♥️

[@SBell-wi5gi]

Good evening.... I slithered out of bed this morning. Open up my KZbin app and This was recently uploaded. Thank you So much I’m so grateful to know I’m on track

[@shelbypearcey]

You make me giggle It seems nuts but boy I bet you’re right. Will be trying this tomorrow 💪

[@recoverydisorderASMR]

I really appreciate, Mel; that you have posted this is a shorter video. Don’t get me wrong, I love your posts but I don’t always have enough time in the moment for some of your longer videos. I would love to see “Mel’s life hacks” regarding somatic exercises in bite size videos like 10 minutes. Also I need to know what brand those epic sweatpants are! LOVE you, Mel! ❤️

[@lightyourway4929]

Thank you for sharing and what a great idea. Your tips are always so helpful along with your glass half full positive energy. I will do that technique tomorrow. I also agree pets do help in waking up. In addition, they always add some extra spice to your life as well as great wake up partners in the morning.

[@leannehendrickson376]

Wow.... Thank You Mel 💖 Wishing You Peace and Progression... HUGS 💗

[@Itsjacksetroblox]

Thank you so much for this video, Mel.🙂

[@bunnychristian190]

Great explaining! Loved you for years and always will. God blesses you 💕

[@melissaebbert3844]

I wake up 30 min earlier than I need to so I can get my coffee and bring it back to bed with me so I can wake up slowly. Game changer! Makes mornings way more enjoyable!

[@jason_nlh]

Thank you so much 💙

[@TwinkieStew]

This is so real Mel. Thank you!

[@jimr.465]

Thank you!! So relatable. All you do is so appreciated and helpful.

[@melaninandaura9713]

I did the 5,4,3,2,1 method yesterday because my body was so achey from arthritis and I knew I needed to get up and enroll my son in school. Al these years later and the 5,4,3,2,1 is still working. Unfortunately I don’t have enough space in my room to throw myself on the floor out of bed lol but I still like this

[@garyjones483]

Hi Mel love your vids. I'm struggling... long story but would value your help xx

[@aprillroberts]

It’s so hard as bed is safe and you can’t make mistakes or try to self harm whilst under the duvet.

[@faruokndikolantya5475]

Hello Mel Robbins am watching and liking thank you for your good work done God bless you

[@fairmaiden6472]

I would love to do the slithering but apart from Major depression, Generalised anxiety disorder, social phobia, perfectionism procrastination, I also suffered from OCD.. and the floor, I can't lay on the floor

[@pattybrown4681]

My bed is almost 3 feet of the floor, but I could buy a rug and ride it to the bathroom

[@iamyou111]

Rolling around in the mattress and just stretching also helps.. then just laying your feet out , then sitting up… then up :)

[@Pepperfam]

I have to set alarms for 5pm stop drinking liquids, 6pm take melatonin, and then pee at 8pm. I then get enough sleep to not feel bad the next day. I wake up at 5am from my husbands alarm. I’m a stay at home mom. It’s summer and my son has adhd I can’t even sit in my living room because he’s stimming, messing with my dogs, and I’m waiting to get back on meds. I sit in my bed and in my room whenever I’m not doing something for peace. My kids are too loud and irritating that I have to keep taking breaks. My son took a pick ax to my background at 7am ruining my yard making loud bangs. He then goes upstairs and plays drums to wake up my daughter. Then he is now jumping off the couch upstairs over and over I’ve asked him 4 times to stop. My husband refuses to get him medicated. So I get to deal with constant complaints at school, constant retest taking, and barely passing grades. If you use your room or bed to keep your peace people need to chill about this. It’s annoying how we have to be productive 24/7. If you’re doing some activity, cleaning, and taking care of your kids. If you need to go to your room to have peace from your chaotic house I don’t see the issue. I used to have a couch in here to not sit in bed my dog chewed it up.

[@georginarandolphgirl66]

I have severe depression despite taking medication and struggle to get out of bed. I haven't been able to work in over a year and its stressing me out. I have tried many medications and not much benefit. I can't do the slither because i am obese and have arthritis in my knees. Is there another method to try? Thank you for your videos.

[@Barneyjo]

I’m going to suggest this to my young niece who is in stage 4 cancer.

[@barmeensaini6482]

Does the heaviness mean feeling heaviness in legs or something else?

[@lorrainebarnes9590]

Mel you are ace ❤

[@worldclassvago9346]

Thanks for the note. Nice frames, babe.

[@d.earth.angell]

thank youu❤

[@KitNMagick]

So good 💯‼️😊 Hi Mel, have you heard of tapping for anxiety? If yes, what is your thought in it? Thank tou 🙏🏼

[@KitNMagick]

Hi Mel , Have you heard about tapping for anxiety?

[@becsta365]

Oh Mel… I just 54321 and rocket 🚀 out of bed!! That’s it. ✅…then high five myself to the mirror 🙌…no slithering…😅

[@alisoncullen8972]

I love this idea but often don't actually wake up. I sleep through my husband getting up and the alarms that go off at regular intervals.

[@kimberleykanous5610]

Lol! I sleep on a Japanese floor mat and that's pretty much how I roll out of bed anyway. But the other actions are something I will try.

[@-BlueGirl]

adhd minds are so great bc i do this already 😭

[@kari2mhan]

I did it but my parents were concerned on why i was on the floor

[@maryluz25]

Mine is I can't wait to get out my bed..I have a big problems to find the best bed .can you believe now I have to put my mattress on the floor..well seeing. You at the floor is kind I'm doing .🤣🤗

[@massielpimentel6134]

You need to have a very clean floor to do that!

[@massielpimentel6134]

@Scott B. McLaughlin not at all.

[@PowerTurkish]

Start cleaning lol

[@asharruiz5647]

The only heavy news I have is sleepyness 😂

[@nekoketka]

Happened with, you sleep on the floor?

[@datingandlifeadvicechannel7534]

Slow mornings are healthy I can’t rush in the morning. I like to take it slow

[@sharonblac]

I would just slither around in bed ha!

[@peterpiper5300]

This is hard to believe. Her slithering out of bed is too controlled, staged. Would like to see an actual getting out of bed.

[@josee4283]

loll

[@kayjohns7936]

***** MEL & TEAM, please read this, I have said it before: PLEASE QUIT with the message that "NO ONE IS GOING TO SAVE YOU". The reason is that so many are committing suicide right now and your message gives them no hope that no one will show up for them, so people decide to opt out permanently. I CANNOT express how important removing that message from your content is. People are extremely FRAGILE right now I this world that is not connected. Thank you.

[@shelbypearcey]

What a load of nonsense Mel is a motivator

[@zsanettmikle6504]

Funny, but thank you, I will try too😂🤗😘❤
