Thanks to everyone! Sorry, I never got back to this forum basically for months because I got really low and had to survive, but am able to read posts again.

I just do it because whatever it is I need to do, it's the next thing on the list. But you're right, it can sometimes feel painfully forced. I don't know how one gets around that.  |
Thanks for your post too! My problem is that once it comes to tasks that are not routine like dressing up, it overloads my brain with the warmup requirement (cognitively at that point). The problem is precisely that it requires me to *think*, i.e requires mental effort. The mental warmup is even harder for me than physical warmup (tasks like dressing up. I got dressing up and similar routines sorted for now, it's not painful anymore).
