Do you ever feel stuck? Whether it’s because of illness or depression or (gestures at the state of the world), you’re not alone, friend. And one thing I am reminding myself of today is that while my rule is generally to do the most important thing on my list first, some days, I just need to do SOMETHING to get myself into a state of motion. 

So maybe the most important thing on your list is a phone call you’ve been putting off. Can you do a small, short, easy win or two first? Take out the garbage? Put away 1 item?

I know all of our brains think about these things differently. What works for you? 

Another trick for me can be turning on some upbeat music. I can get into a zone where doing more movement feels easy and natural. 

I’m still dealing with some health stuff, but it’s been all the more reason for me to fine-tune my processes and get clearer about what’s important. I’m grateful for my mental fitness work that encourages me that it’s always possible to find something positive that comes from a negative situation – if we dare to find it. 

I hope you’re taking care of yourself this week. You deserve that care, and sometimes, we have to do it ourselves.
