Have you tried a reward system? It can work if there are things you actually WANT to do. If not then it's a lot harder. When it comes to tasks I have often heard people say to break it down in to smaller tasks so that you are not overwhelmed by the whole big job. Also,what has motivated you in the past?

That sounds awfully familiar...oh yeah, it's exactly what I do. I always have lofty plans to get this and that and the other thing done, and by Sunday night, nothing is done at all. I can't give much advice on this, but I definitely know how it is.

I am struggling with the same thing. I hope you can find your way out of this. (((hugs)))

I have problems keeping motivation too. A reward system sounds good Heidi. I haven't kept a structure to it, but I've gone out to my favorite restaurant after doing things.

That's what usually happens when our minds are idle. Those depressive thoughts stray us to think we're worthless and will not do better in life. But we need to combat these thoughts. I've been there and I don't say I'm not getting those thoughts in my head. I still do. Sometimes, I fall. But I make sure to myself I won't stay in that stage long enough. I don't want to have a defeated life just like before. I'm tired of it. I wanna do something new. It's hard.. really hard. It's not our usual thing. But I'm doing it slowly, one day at a time. I don't rush myself. These seems small progress but I want to see it still as progress. Well, this quote stuck in my head

"Some quit due to slow progress. Never grasping the fact that slow progress... is PROGRESS."

So for anyone who think they're not making achievements, you have. You're still here in this world. I know you want to pursue that better you to yourself. We are not alone in this. Let us help each other. :)

START MAKING A GRATITUDE LIST.
THAT SHOULD KEEP U BUSY. LOL
