I feel like I have hit a rut lately I don't want to get dressed, infact I don't want to do anything, my skin has not been kind to me lately I feel ugly, and I feel overweight. I sit there at night and I think tomorrow I'm going to get dressed I'm going for that walk, I'm going to do that workout, I'm not going to avoid my phone and I'm going to do one of the things on my evergrowing to do list. BUT I just can't , I feel like I have hit a wall and am in some funk that I can't seem to snap out of lately, any advice from anyone in the same situation or has been in my situation would be greatly appreciated...

Start small. Set yourself just a few to do's like get washed. Get dressed. Go outside. Speak to a friend. Tidy for 5 minutes. Maybe write them down. Achievable and management targets. Build on them every day. Arrange to meet a friend for a walk to help make it happen.
Today I went to the library to return and collect some books. It doesn't seem much to some people but for me it involved driving, parking, walking, speaking to someone and getting home again. If felt good afterwards. Tomorrow I will set myself another little goal and hopefully if I just keep chipping away I'll get there in the end. I also find if I set my self a time goal like tidy for 5 minutes, I often do more.
