Sometimes I take the course of least resistance, by that I mean I make everything into simple decisions where one outcome is more favourable and simpler to achieve than the other.

So if the decision is about getting out of bed, I'll remind myself that unless I get up when I need to pee, I'll be festering in cold wet sheets. So which is easier? - getting up. The trick is not thinking more than that one step ahead. Once I'm sitting on the edge of the bed, I'll give myself a pat on the back, and when I'm ready make the next choice.

It sounds quite lame when written down and it relies on painting youself a really negative picture about the consequences of inaction and recognising and rewarding even the tiniest positve action. In the end you don't think about the whole overwhelming business of getting up, showered, dressed, eating breakfast, etc. etc. etc, you just come to accept it as being easier than the alternative.

That's all about functioing, but it doesn't actually help you live emotionally, for that I have no answer - sorry.
