Having a life plan that works, that realistically and with some degree of certainty is taking me to somewhere that I want to go, and in the context of which waking up is an instrumental action furthering my progress along that path.
Without a good reason to wake up, waking up sucks. A good reason to wake up is a complex thing. A good plan for life is hard to make, but worth it.
I say this from the perspective of a history of massive depression.
A good reason to open one’s mouth is that there’s delicious food in front of you. A good reason to wake up is that there’s a plan for the day that brings you closer to the things you want in life.
If you have a hard time getting up, resolving that starts with making sure whatever thing you’re getting up for actually serves you.
