Mornings

During my original cancer I ticked of boxes for the days and it ran as well as it could. Surgery and Chemo weren't too bad.

This time things are more complic, my surgery was life changing and complicated and chemo has been a 6 month slog. 

I find mornings a challenge while most afternoons I'm sleeping as the chemo is brutal. I am a lot more emotional about it second time round.

Hiya I really struggle with mornings too. I find I’m physically at my worst and that affects me mentally. I just don’t know what to do with myself some days. I’m generally better by the evenings.  You’re not alone x

Hi RL2374

Have you heard of the HOPE Programme - i think it stemed from a joint venture between Macmillan and Coventry university.

It is an online set of sessions with lots of good wellbeing advice and tools. One tool is about goal setting - i wonder if that could help you in the mornings?

Thank you everyone.

No I haven't heard of Hope Programme, I will give that a Google now x

I think this is the link: https://www.h4c.org.uk/

This is it:

These are aummary of the things the course covers

Must admit I'm best in the morning, but from about 3 or 4pm, well that's totally another story!!!

Isn't it strange, I get to late afternoon and feel so much better!

Owl or early bird 

That’s what we are. 
Early birds jump out of bed. Night owls can’t get up in the morning but are wide awake night times 

It’s so interesting how we all function 

My daughter is an early bird, her partner is a night owl. They meet perfectly in the middle 

Maybe we have that ingrained. 
Im sad at night but take a sleep aid now.

Mornings I’m great. 

I wonder if we can decide what we are? 
Night Owls or Early Birds?
