How to motivate myself to stay consistent?
I (25f) and been diagnosed with depression and anxiety at the age of 17 by a licensed therapist. Due to hard times and lack of insurance, I’ve been in and out of therapy since then.
The problem is I have an extremely hard time being consistent with pretty much anything. Showering, brushing my teeth, exercise, etc just feels like an impossible ask most days. I know that these are all things that would help me feel better and I feel disgusting and guilty when I don’t do them. I try to hype myself about how much better I’ll feel after flossing or going for a small walk but it doesn’t work. Being hateful to myself is even worse.
What are some things you do or tell yourself to motivate you to do just the basic cleaning and care of yourself? I’m extremely unhappy and my physical health is on the line now as well :/
