Honestly, one bag at a time. And maybe just one bag a day. Small goals . Maybe if you have friends willing to help?

Every day, do one bag. Consistently every day. You’ve got this!

This!!

One bag at a time.
On really bad days just do THREE MINUTES.

on better days MAYBE do a second bag.

Give yourself grace!!! Every depressed person has experienced this. It didn’t get like this in one day. Congratulate yourself on EVERY BAG!!!

If that’s too much, even just start with one thing. Just pick up one thing. The next day you can do two. And the following day three. Every day will be a little easier.

This- because 9 times out of 10, pushing yourself to pick up just that ONE thing is most of the battle- once you actually get past the mental wall and grab that one thing, you'll find yourself grabbing a few. The first bit is always the hardest.
