When I was in the partial inpatient program they made us commit to one thing everyday. It could be something small, like buy groceries. Getting me to be accountable for a small thing helped me motivate to do other small things. I don't know if that helps.

The magician seemed to promise that something torn to bits might be mended without a seam, that what had vanished might reappear, that a scattered handful of doves or dust might be reunited by a word. But everyone knew that it was only an illusion. The true magic of this broken world lay in the ability of the things it contained to vanish, to become so thoroughly lost, that they might never have existed in the first place.
