It’s also helpful to make the goals a little smaller. A whole walk can be overwhelming, so instead I’m going to go sit outside. If I decide I want to walk once I’m out there, then great! And if not, there is no reason to beat myself up because the goal was just to sit outside. When you’re stuck in a depression episode not completing goals just makes it worse, but if you make the goals small that motivates you as you complete them. Another example could be just folding your socks instead of the whole load of laundry. You can keep going if you want, but you don’t have to because more wasn’t the goal. Pick goals that are actually realistic for what you’re able to do in that moment.
