You've got this, you stubborn bastard.

You do. Your alarm clock won't do it for you. Neither will a podcast, or the perfect morning routine you keep meaning to start on Monday. Someone can stand in your corner, but the move is yours to make. You won't feel ready. Do it anyway and the feeling catches up.

It's not therapy and it's not a life hack. It's a plain kick up the arse for when you've done more planning than doing. Some days are heavier than that, though. If you're low, not coping, or the mornings feel impossible for real reasons, that's not you being lazy, and it's worth talking to someone. We keep a list. The rest of the time: read a line, feel something, get up.
