You need some small wins. Even video games at first, then something slightly more ambitious, and keep adding on until you feel ready for another big challenge.

You need some small wins. Even video games at first, then something slightly more ambitious, and keep adding on until you feel ready for another big challenge. Every single step is scary so just make it a bunch of smaller steps and it’s easier to go from rock bottom to empowered again Also: you might need rest before you dive in. But try to make it rest plus some tiny empowering step that you have control over. Eg, making the bed, going to the gym, keeping a room tidy, being on time for things In a sense, it’s a form of exposure therapy, convincing your subconscious that you are fully able to handle things again, one step at a time Almost everyone you ever meet who seems lazy is just somebody who lost their empowerment and didn’t find it again. Take it easy on those people, they all feel a little powerless and it’s not pleasant. You might be feeling that same thing right now
