I find your question is causing me to think. I have often wished I had lots of money, then I would set myself up like jody foster in that movie where all her needs were met and she never had to leave her house. I have no desire to force myself to leave. I have to because I do not have the money to stay home. So I guess my question is if you want to force yourself, why? Because you think you ought to, or because you need to?

Set up short goals, go get the mail if it is not delevered to the door. or walk to the end of the driveway. Some people get dogs-dogs need to be walked, but make sure you are able to do that and start with a low energy dog that takes less walking. Break your food shopping into many small trips so that you leave the house more days than usual, that way leaving feels more normal than staying home. Look for all the coffee shops in your area and vist one every day. Find all the artstores/museums and go to one everyday. Be a tourist in your area, find one place to vist everyday--anything so that the act of leaving is more normal than staying home-get up at the same time-get dressed and leave t the same time for any of those places or some place you think of.
