So I’m off work today and I got bunch of cleaning I want to get done and build a tree for my cats. I am dragging ***. Had two cups of coffee and don’t want to do anything. Took a shower try to shake it off and playing music and I just can’t get motivated to do anything. What can I do to get myself in gear.

We all have those dragging days, sounds like you may have too much on your plate. Decide what is most important to get done and aim to accomplish that, if you get that done and still have time than move on to the next thing and so on.

What about an AP and another cup of coffee to balance it out?

Or maybe jog in place to get the blood flowing.

Tell yourself you’ll get up for five minutes and allow yourself to sit back down if you need to.

I find I don’t usually return to my seat for a long while.

If you have anything on YouTube or a pod cast you want to listen to, that helps a lot.
Thanks for this!

Sometimes the more you dwell on how hard it is to get moving, the harder it becomes. Sometimes you have to get up and get started BEFORE you feel any motivation. The motivation often follows afterwards.

Making a to-do list helps me too, as well as taking breaks for fun between each productive task.
Thanks for this!

I had rock music on for two hours but didn’t even rock out to it. Ugh guess I’m in a depressed state. I want to get stuff done and live and go lift and get some sun just can’t get started.

It’s like I’m in a car I’m putting my foot to the pedal and all I’m doing is revving and not going anywhere like I’m in neutral.

Boogie - is there any sun?

It’s cool here, but sun is out. Can you go outside for a while? Even when it’s cloudy the bright light helps a bit.

Give yourself permission to do what you need to.

Lol yea and I got the blinds open and sun coming in. I wanted to go to park today too and go for a walk.

I feel like I’m going to explode if I keep lying down, but I just can’t get myself up.

Ah, good!

Why not go to the park first? You can take pics of the best new spring buds and post it here for me to see if you want.

I love the fresh little leaf buds that are starting here. I hope you have some.

Ah, very good on the tasks! It surprises me sometimes how little time some of them take. It seems monumental when I’m down.

Oh, sorry about the still-dormant plants. We have cherry blossoms here, and they are over-the-top from what I remember of past years. The leaves are not quite out on most trees, but it is still pretty nice.

Sometimes we just have to give ourselves permission to drag around the house. I don’t do to do lists because I end up feeling like crap when I don’t do the stuff. Sometimes I can get going by just standing up and roaming around the house without a specific plan. Just getting the old bod moving helps.
