Sunshine is awesome when you feel like that ... the sun light makes your serotonin levels increase naturally!!

Also, something that helped me get motivated for cooking again was baking a cake ... not from scratch (which is my preferred method) but just out of the box with some easy frosting.

Maybe if you make it for your mom it'll be a lil easier to do. Maybe even write something sweet on it for her. You kill 3 birds with 1 stone, accomplish cooking something, bring something to your mom to make her smile, and get to eat something!

Try it!! I made a Coca Cola cake for my IOP group when I has having a tough time with cooking. They all bought the ingredients and it was awesome seeing everyone have a piece of cake and say it was delicious. Baby steps my dear friend!
