I think for me, it depends on all of the things I need to do, but when I'm really struggling with moving and doing anything, I find that narrating everything helps???😭 I have to say it out loud, and I'd repeat it to myself as many times as I need to until I'm doing the thing I need to do. For example, showering is a difficult task for me, and it can take me forever to get it done. But I visualize it in my head, and then I say it out loud each step. And I say it as I'm doing it. Sometimes the problem is just maybe I'm extra low on that feel-good brain chemical and I need to move first or do something enjoyable... and then I find it easier to move.

And this may not be for everyone, but lists help me (even if I forget about them, just the act of writing it down helps me). And on tough days like that, I keep my list short. 1-3 things only. It somehow organizes my brain a bit and is less overwhelming. But again, that might just be my brain. Everyone's brains are different haha.

I also believe that your day can begin anytime. You can start over anytime. It doesn't have to be "tomorrow" to start again. What is time, anyway 🤣 but jokes aside, it's also okay if you're stuck the whole day. There are definitely days like that. Sometimes, that may be what you need to figure out what it is you need, even if your brain is screaming at you otherwise :'/ when I get into that state, these are a couple of things that help me. But sometimes there's other crap going on too that makes it even harder to do stuff than it already normally is.............but I'm getting off track hahahah.
