What has to be done- and motivating self to do it?

Posted by Fi on December 16, 2001, at 14:11:41

I know I'm lucky that I'm not particularly depressed at the moment. I get myself to work and function OK there, but at home I only to do the minimum. Some things I used to do as a regular routine I dont anymore, so its more of a decision to do them.
My problems are:
1. How do I decide what I *have* to do? I'm particularly aware of this as this weekend I have been awake for a while in the mornings, but decided to stay in bed, gone back to sleep, and woken up at 2.45ish in the afternoon. Not sure if that *matters*... Or not washing the kitchen floor for weeks etc etc
2. How do I *make* myself do the things I need to? I just dont seem to have the willpower I used to. I do lots of encouraging/ bullying of myself, and imagine doing it; but often it gets me nowhere- the part of me on the 'receiving end' of this just shrugs it off.
Anyone else's ideas v welcome!
