What has always worked for me is taking small steps and being outside. Even just go outside once, to the shop further away. Then do then do that again. Small and near-term goals. Today, this afternoon, in the next 10 minutes.

What has always kept me in that funk is trying to get back to 'normal' as a goal. It feels too big a jump, so I'd put it off for another day. And then a week has passed.

I don't want this to come across as a plug. But I made an app for myself in these situations (and to avoid them). Check my profile and you'll find it. Message me somehow and I'll give you a free subscription, in return for some honest feedback.

But small steps, and be outside more. As others are also saying. Just witnessing life is carrying on as normal really is refreshing.
