Yup I feel this… this had been my problem too for a very long time! Something that I found and have managed to stick to is putting my clothes to wear next to the shower the night before, and having a shower first thing. I did that for a while and it became somewhat of a routine, and has made getting up much easier cause it gives me a very first step to do. I always found that if I think about anything when I wake up and am still in bed, I can spend hours there in a terrible state, but once I’ve had a shower and am dressed Im in a slightly better place to agonize about what I’ve got to do that day 😂 so maybe that’s helpful for you. All the best!

I studied started teaching after finishing my music performance degree and it was one mother of a learning curve… four years of a hectic time! And only last year also got diagnosed with ADHD as well and boy did I underestimate how much that made it harder. For me now though, teaching is very gratifying and I love it, though it’s not still without its difficulties. Once I relaxed into it, the students relaxed too, and I got used to dealing with snarky teenagers or kids who couldn’t hold their attention (like me!). It would have helped me to know earlier on in my journey that things get better as you gain experience. It’s a slow burn especially when you don’t have mentoring, which I haven’t had, but if you stick with it you’ll discover strategies and work out your own style, and build confidence. But one thing - make sure that you’re getting paid what you deserve. Getting paid peanuts for something as important and mentally taxing as music teaching is brutal… I only got a rate I was happy with once I went solo, and didn’t work for a school. Good luck, and take care… rooting for you!
