it's helped me get through so many tasks i've dreaded or was too depressed or bogged down in the details to do. even just sitting in silence with another human working on their own thing is helpful. even if it's virtual! sometimes it's just hard to do stuff alone. and talking through stuff with someone who has more grace for me than i do can help get me out of my head

Making the bed is so much easier when you have someone else (even virtually!) present. Basically body-doubling but less work. also, being patient with yourself! much easier said than done I know but not beating myself up for my emotions and letting myself feel them without Shame has definitely helped me move through them more easily.

when i start feeling hopeless about my future career prospects and/or my relationships with other people i simply try to push it out of my brain and distract myself (usually with my phone, but i’m trying to use better methods, the best usually involve moving my body some way and/or completing a difficult task) sometimes this works sometimes this doesn’t. be wary of letting yourself go too much in the opposite way and falling into the unrealistic perfect fantasy daydream hole.

i have motivation problems! please stare at me so i get things done! over facetime, in person, at the grocery store. just be mundane with me. it helps a lot.

sometimes the cat asks me to sit with her and it's a great exercise in stillness and presence
