Do you have days when you know exactly what to do, but still cannot do what you know you must do? Well, I have them sometimes and I want to make this thread for all of us who need such a thread (now and then).

Let me try to explain: For the moment I have finished an early breakfast. I know that according to my daily plan I should go outside for physical exercise (jogging or something else). I know that physical exercises is good for my depression. Still I sit here and are not going outside.

This is a typical example of knowing what to do, but not feeling able. I think that for me (and I hope for many others as well) a start to be able is to say what I'm going to do: "I'm going for a short walk". You will hear from me when it is done".

I hope you understand what I mean. If you too have a problem to start something (exercises, writing, eating, go to the groceries or else), write it down here (the reward is to be able to tell us here at PC that you made it in spite of feeling low in motivation). In other words: Simple behavior therapy.
