And when I go to bed thinking positively that I can and will do it because there&#39;s nothing stopping me from doing better every day.

Start  with one task in the morning and keep adding. After you complete that goal I recommend starting with drinking water as soon as you wake up for your first task.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lee U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes. You have to do one task which is you have to wake up early and go to the bed early and also you have to drink lots of water in a day. Thank you FOR THE QUESTION .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lyam Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I also have chronic back pain, as I have hardward from a Harrington Rod surgery when I was 16 and 3 fused vertebrea.  Because of this I often find it easy to slide back into depression and fearful thoughts. Not to mention how exhausted I feel, seemingly, constantly!! If I&#39;m going to be honest, I had this app installed for like, 4 or 5 months before I really started to commit. I felt the same way, that it was a fun way to make pretty lists, but I was immediately telling myself I wasn&#39;t going to be successful. I think that we all need to stop letting good be the enemy of perfect and give ourselves some grace. Maybe start with one or two of your most important or meaningful tasks. Then slowly add a new task once you&#39;ve solidified the first ones. The storyline can be very moving when following the journey on the app to creating healthier habits. But allow yourself to have small successes and celebrate them like you&#39;ve changed your whole life (because you have, no matter how small)!! Your mindset means everything. Ive found that often times, we are afraid of how capable we really are. We fear our power because we&#39;ve had it taken or its been scorned. You are strong, you are powerful and you are capable.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Fernandino S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Take your time. Try to accomplish the easiest task listed. For heavier task, take a small step every week trying to complete it. Just remember to stop if you don&#39;t feel it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ekkehart E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should probably first see doctors and address your health issues. Once those are fixed, you will automatically have more energy and motivation for your tasks. Please prioritise your health.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sophia B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Believe in yourself. Don&#39;t push yourself too hard. Take one small step at a time. Start with small tasks. Finish one task at a time, only after that, start another one. It&#39;s ok if you don&#39;t succeed the first time. Try again and again, until you can see the results of your hard work. &lt;3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kimberly B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try with each day being as productive as you can be even when it\u2019s hard. Take little steps, you don\u2019t have to finish every task everyday. Keep going until they become everyday things and keep pushing forward to finish more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jimmie O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Maybe start by writing out your to-do list and having less things on it to help your mind get used to the new routine then add more to your plate once your comfortable. Just do what your body feels is best!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hans Joachim Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try doing small steps towards that goal. For example, if I you need to work out or do exercise in morning do anything that involves any exercise that you didnt do yesterday, do 1 sit-up or 1 push-up, at the end is more than you done yesterday. And every day you will be able to do more. Goal is to get you and your mind going one step at the time. &quot;Just keep swimming&quot;!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mila Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hey, I know it&#39;s difficult to get the motivation to be productive. We have all been there, but the only person that can help you is yourself. You have to think of the future, imagine how proud your future self would be. Imagine how relieved your future self would be. Imagine all the positive impacts. <\/p>\n<p>When you want to do something, you have to remind yourself. &quot;What am I doing this for?&quot; and answer yourself. This is all you, nobody is forcing you to do these things that can possibly change your future. It&#39;s all you, bud. <\/p>\n<p>But don&#39;t worry too much, I know it&#39;s really hard to get it all done so you can do it step by step. Start with only 1 habit per day. Once you feel comfortable with doing it, do the other one. It&#39;s all about your mindset, once you change the way you look at the world, everything will change. <\/p>\n<p>This is exactly what happened to me last year. I used to think everyone hated me, I used to think negatively. But then, I decided to change my mindset. I started giving compliments to everyone, simple compliments! Like &quot;I like your hat!&quot; or &quot;You look great!&quot; or &quot;I love your outfit!&quot;. But if you&#39;re too shy to talk to them, that&#39;s okay! As long ad you are complimenting them in your head. Your mindset will start to change, because one day, you will think of those compliments to yourself too. One day, you&#39;ll look in the mirror and go &quot;Wow, I.. actually look nice today&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>Now I know, this sounds impossible, but trust me with this. Start giving simple compliments to everyone, especiallu your friends and family, or in your head.  That&#39;s fine too. You can do it. I believe in you, take it easy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rebekka W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with a small list, something you know you&#39;ll get done. I usually don&#39;t change&#x2F;add to my list before I&#39;ve checked off everything continuously for a couple of days. Also leave small reminders throughout your space and maybe setting some alarms would help.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tracy P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First of all you could try visita a doctor, then do some breathing excercises and have a hot drink( like tea or camomille) to calm you down, you could even try meditating or yoga. I suffered of anxiety too so I know How you feel mate. Having a great physic and mental healt Is the first step to organizing and completing the routine, hope this helps and that you will be able ti follow the rithym from now on!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Beatrice P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you are suffering from this problem then maybe it would be a good idea for you to try taking smaller steps to your goal, make things a little more easily accessible to yourself. We don\u2019t want to burn ourselves out so making life a little easier for ourselves is never a bad thing to do as long as it doesn\u2019t affect the quality of our work. If work is affecting the quality of your health then you should stop and consider if this work is truly so important that you have to do this. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask people to join you in doing things so you can remind each other about it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amina X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It doesn&#39;t matter if you have one task or twelve. If you can promise your past, current and future self that you are gonna them then that&#39;s what you do. Start with basic stuff like brushing your teeth at least once a day. I know that taking care of yourself while dealing with those things can be hard, but remember I support you all the way.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nitin E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First of all this app is very helpful for everyone but if you don&#39;t care about yourself you can&#39;t do your tasks everytime. So take it easy one by one take tasks and do them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Heather O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First and foremost, get out of your head. Do not let your mental status hold you down from the person you know you can become. It is important to acknowledge that you are suffering from depression and anxiety, but it is extremely unhealthy to allow yourself to view it as a crutch. There is a reason this app starts you off in tiny doses. You can&#39;t completely change overnight. But you can change your habits to bring a more positive outlook on life. Think of it in addiction terms. And addict has basically trained themselves to become dependent on the drug they have used, and thus they get stuck. Most find a way to break through that addiction to the other side, but it is extremely difficult. The ones that do find themselves living a much happier life, but always knowing that addiction lies beneath the surface. And sometimes they fall back in. That is human. You inadvertently coached yourself into questioning your self-worth, and in doing so, your anxiety has become a means of holding yourself back. Recognize that. Find the habits in you that make it so easy to fall back into doubt. And work on them. Slowly. One at a time. Eventually, you will find what you need to give yourself that motivation. As for the chronic physical pain, in a sense, it will always be there. But what a lot of people don&#39;t realize or understand is that, in most cases, those pains stem from lifestyle. Poor diet, lack of routine exercises, and yes, even your mental state can have a physical toll on your body. You would be surprised how much relief you can gain from beginning to take care of yourself. I have severe back pain, and once I realized it was from having a weak core, I focused most of my exercises on strengthening that. My back doesn&#39;t hurt as much as it used to, and it is very freeing. Even my posture has improved from giving myself that care and allowing myself to finally grasp onto confidence. The point is, your motivation has to be you. Inside. Tell the pain &quot;No!&quot;. Tell your head to be quiet for once. Lay down on your bed and place your hands over your heart, and tell it &quot;I love you. I am listening.&quot; And when the physical and mental pain begins to take hold, give yourself a hug and remind yourself that you are strong. When you wake up, and you see that list, make it a point to say &quot;I am going to do this, and I&#39;m going to do it now.&quot; Be the change you want, and you can do anything.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Astrid F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi there! I think it is important to realize that it is ok to not do everything. I also share some of the same struggles as you do. One thing that has helped me is I have had to really dig it into myself that these task are helping me. They are there to help me! I have an image of what I want to be and these are helping me to get there. Some days are harder than others but it\u2019s ok to give yourself a rest. Be nice to yourself! The tasks will still be there tomorrow or when you feel better. The beautiful thing about everyday is you choose what you can and can\u2019t do(for the most part). Another thing I had to do was not get overwhelmed when I suddenly have multiple tasks on top of everyday life. I break them up and do them when I feel like I can. I hope this helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daniella Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">As \u201cbad\u201d as it sounds, it\u2019s best to do something than don\u2019t do anything. The less the better, if you feel you have too many daily goals, minimize them to the essentials, if you feel too burdened, try to make the goals smaller. For example, instead of working out for 1 hour, do 30 minutes and like that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jasmine C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You can start with setting some small goals and build on this. Regular meditation for relaxation to help manage your stress levels. Practice Visualisation, imagine yourself feeling good and going out for a walk in a lovely park or to the beach. Imagine yourself in those surroundings and see yourself there and you are happy, smiling and feeling calm and at peace. Build on this over time, completing more tasks and achieving and setting new goals. Then take that walk, you can do it, it is achievable, and it could be the start of a whole new you!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rosalyn S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try small steps first, making up your bed, brush your teeth go for a short walk in the neighbourhood. Try the first for 1 week, then set the next one. Slower is good too. Hope it helps, stay safe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jessica C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi! I think it\u2019s good to give yourself credit for the things you are doing, and not the ones that you\u2019re not. I personally struggle with depression and anxiety as well, and I feel like that makes you feel a lot of shame about not being perfect. I have used the app for a really long time, but my longest streaks on things are about 30 days long. However, there are habits that are super solidified in my daily routine regardless of whether I do them everyday. I still beat myself up for missing them from time to time, but I think that\u2019s part of the journey. You aren\u2019t meant to be perfect and get it all right every single day, just reflect regularly on what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not and THAT is what will help you grow, not just completing 100% of your habits all the time. Just last week I decided to start my journey again and went back to the first mountain. I was up to the healthy eating one but was losing momentum and forgetting rhe basics, so I just went back and started again and it\u2019s awesome to see how much easier it is and how far I have actually come from when I started. Just be mindful, celebrate what you are doing, and everything else is a work in progress. Realistically you\u2019re not going to get everything right everyday, but that\u2019s the beauty of life as long as you\u2019re learning something along the way. Good luck, and well done on doing the work on yourself \ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\udc9b<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sydney N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me I just have to find what motivates me best. I just have to tell myself that I am good and I am capable of committing. If I miss a day or two it\u2019s no big deal it doesn\u2019t really matter. This app just helps you try to feel better about yourself and organization of yours schedule.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rose U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">hey honey , so what i would do is limit the amount of tasks you do<br \/>\nand then sometimes writing a to do list on your phone dosent help<br \/>\nso you can do it on paper ,study\u2019s have shown that writing it down helps you realese the worry\u2019s away and the though from your brain to the pencil and the pencil to the paper helps a lot too<br \/>\nalso try just writing your feeling down too<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kay R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I often suffer from the first three as well. I am a college student and the anxiety definitely hits hardest during school seasons, so my to-do list tends to stack up more than it should because I keep putting more and more things off. I put timers on my phone to help limit my time on unnecessary apps (this should be available to everyone under their \u2018Settings\u2019). If I\u2019m distracting myself by watching a show or movie, I have to limit myself to only put one on while I am having a meal so I can have time to enjoy it as I eat. As for the fatigue, this is something I have suffered from for a while and there was one point where I forced myself to stay awake for an entire day in order to get myself to sleep at my desired time and worked to fix my clock from there. I normally only have work to do in the afternoons, which does not help with needing to get up before a certain time, so I try to slowly ease myself up with a very early timer a bit after 6 and another at 7, to 7:30, to 7:45 and the final one at 8. Most times it is still hard for me to get up but as soon as I leave my bed, I tell myself there is no going back. One day I will be able to get up without laying there for another hour (or few), but baby steps are still steps and so far I can see myself getting better. We can work on this together, slowly but surely.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tara Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I suffer with depression and anxiety as well. It&#39;s very very hard to get motivation to do anything. Im new here, and to-do lists never worked with me. I don&#39;t know how is your daily life&#x2F;activities, but if it&#39;s possible, something that helped me was to narrow down my priorities. I realized I was wanting to embrace the world and feeling terrible unable and useless. So maybe pick up some important things, select what actually can&#39;t be left behind, focus on fewer things. For example, dunno, your job and some responsibilities. Than you can put more effort and focus on these few things. Make a list of general priorities and stay with&#39;em. And make sure having enough time for resting, don&#39;t feel guilty about it. Another hint is to practice self compassion. If you &quot;failed&quot; something today, you probably had a reason, even though you don&#39;t feel like this. You can always try again tomorrow. That&#39;s it, sorry if I did any mistakes, I&#39;m brazilian and I don&#39;t have the best English \ud83d\ude05 best wishes for you journey<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eva E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This is not for fellows but this question is for fabulous from me that give me a cheap recipe which I used to eat every day a healthy food<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arwa N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Personally I relate to you, in terms of things you could try, I recommend bathing in bath salts for your pains, this usually calms anxiety, relaxes you but also relaxes you muscles making them less prone to hurt every so often. I usually do this once a week. Changing your mindset is also crucial! Waking up with the outlook that you will achieve something really changes your perception . I\u2019m no expert but i hope this helps &lt;33 -arwa x<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ruby V.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">remove some tasks, start with one or two tasks a day, e.g. making your bed, airing out your room or having a glass of water in the morning! start with the little things instead of throwing everything in yourself at once because it will make a huge difference in the long run &lt;33<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Niusha Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find setting reminders to be really helpful. Preparing in advance and thinking about how or what you will do to achieve your tasks makes achieving the task much easier , for example having a glass of water ready nearby to drink first thing or having an idea of what you will have for breakfast the the night before so in the morning all you have to do is prepare the meal or even preparing the meal in the night before if you know you won\u2019t have enough time . Having a to do list and an encouraging message in response to doing the task has made me want to achieve the task more even sharing my accomplishment with my partner or best friend and hearing their rn outing words also motivates me to continue doing so .

I try to break down the steps into simpler tasks. Exercise? Simply stretch&#x2F;do light yoga poses for 5-10 minutes. Gets the blood flowing and is better than nothing at all. No time to make breakfast? Have a fast, easy on-the-go option for chaotic mornings (mine is a handful of almonds). Also I set notifications on so I don\u2019t ignore my tasks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kale A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I love the app as well and I leave a lot of task unchecked myself; but I know in the back of my mind that even making the action to check off one task is habit forming so the longer you do it the easier it will become. I suffer with the same things from time to time and I\u2019ve found the best way to release most of those feelings is to genuinely take the time to connect with myself and block out my surroundings. Practicing breathing and meditation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Augustin S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When you have no energy to do even small everyday things, it means you are too depressed to cope with it yourself. I would advice to try to meditate or just take a good long rest. Do nothing. For as long as possible. Literally nothing, put away your phone, just lay doing nothing for hours, days, until you feel you need to get up and do something. If it won\u2019t help or anxiety does not let you just lay and it is getting worse, then kindly see the specialist. When we have no energy to help ourselves the pills can help to feel the ground and give you energy for small everyday things. But only psychiatrist can advice the right pills for you. You can also try with something not strong, for example some mint and melissa tea, calming supplements. I would also advise to start with small things. Dont put too many tasks, take just one or two. For example, start with waking up at the same time every day. Not too early if it is hard for you to wake up early. And do only this one task for one  week. If you feel that you can do more, add food. Eating 3 times a day at the same time every day. Or you can start only with breakfast. Once a day at the same time. After food, add some lazy exercises. Just some 10 minutes stretching after breakfast or a short walk to start with. Preferably also at the same time every day. Good luck on your way, I hope it helps.

I suffer from depression and anxiety too, and it can get really difficult, but once I\u2019ve checked a few things off I feel compelled to do more. I do quite well when I tick off eating breakfast and getting up out of bed as things I have done today, It makes me really want to get more done. Another thing I do is let anything count for the tasks.

If you leave &quot;a lot&quot; of tasks unchecked, then you&#39;re taking on too many tasks for your brain&#x2F;body. That&#39;s okay! There is nothing wrong with you. Just accept yourself at the place where you are at and work with it. Prune the tasks down to just the top one or two that are most important. Celebrate every time you achieve them, give yourself credit! Then, when it becomes &quot;too easy&quot; &#8211; one or two or three weeks later, whenever feels right &#8211; only then, try adding on one more task. Look back and see that you are improving, building up one &quot;brick&quot; at a time. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Victoria Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I too have had a history of depression and anxiety. I have noticed that any external motivators are short lived. This has led to resolutions being unfulfilled, which feeds back into the cycle of depression and anxiety. For myself, I have chosen who I want to be from this journey as my motivator. You are correct that nothing is making you do anything on these checklists. I failed with Fabulous before because I saw the checklists as something that was limiting me. It&#39;s things I had to do. Ever since I created a mental image about who and where I wanted to be, my perception of these tasks changed. They are no longer things that I need to do. They are steps towards that vision. They may seem like small steps, but when they add up, you&#39;ll be able to look back at where you once were. This helps to give me more resolve to continue.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Yahel Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Prioritize your to dos and start with the one that is more urgent for you ( maybe the urgent school assignment is less matter to you then working out and that\u2019s totally fine).

Then, you can start with a small and easy task such as drinking water after waking up or greet your parents everyday.  After you successfully did the task consistently,  then you can add another task. It is better  start with 1 easy task than something harder to achieve.  After you successfully become consistent in doing a task, you can praise yourself or treat yourself to motivate yourself.

I would also try narrowing down things to be more manageable. right now i only have a few things like drinking tea&#x2F;water, brushing my teeth, and taking my medicine. it&#39;s ok if you only do a couple things, that&#39;s a great start. try slowly working your way up? good luck dude \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Syed N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I know it\u2019s difficult to do many things at the same time and also with those problems you\u2019re facing but it\u2019s ok! I believe in you and I definitely think that over time you\u2019ll achieve these tasks! What I suggest is that you should do the easiest task there is and do it continuously until you won\u2019t forget, more than 3 days will also be very effective. After you\u2019ve adapted to these small habits, start adding those incomplete tasks slowly and add more days to practice upon it and you should be good! I know you have anxiety, back pain etc. so I suggest that you should visit a doctor asap! If you have already and you\u2019re still not recovering, If you want you can come speak to me or anyone you\u2019re close with because I think a person you\u2019re close with can stall your mind and heart and give you comfort.

The little things that you can find in life that bring you the smallest amounts of happiness are what make everyday worth it.

Also, do not feel bad even if your progress is slow, or does not happen everyday. It is important to remember that every check in your list is a win, even if it is nothing big.

I used to put too much habits to go from 0 to 100 cos I was not feeling enough, I needed to do more that others to be merely acceptable. Now I feel I know my limitations and some of my tasks are drink water or clean my face the motivation of doing that everyday permits me do yoga and meditacion everyday.

There are two key take aways.<br \/>\n 1) you are not perfect so why do we thing our goals have to be done perfectly?<br \/>\n2) make goals small and simple.<br \/>\nInstead of running a 5k when you are a couch potato make the goal to walk to the mailbox  everyday for a week. Then increase to walk two or three house down in your neighborhood for a week. When you miss a day accept you didn\u2019t do it today but go ahead and do it tomorrow anyway. He says the day after perfection is the most important day. That\u2019s the day you decide to do it for \u201cyou\u201d!  Not a gold star. Not a perfect streak, not for all the things we usually think we need to do to get credit for doing a thing. You and your body are the ultimate score keeper and doing it counts even if it\u2019s not every day in a row at first. You will get stronger and feel more like it as you go, unless (from Dr. Suess) \u201cperhaps you don\u2019t and then you won\u2019t\u201d. But each day is it\u2019s own score keeper. Be kind and gentle with yourself as some days are harder than others. The thing that is important is you just keep putting one foot in from of the other. You will get there if you don\u2019t give up. You are worth it so just do today what you are truly capable of and let perfection go and free you to succeed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nat Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try streching morning .

Trust me you will feel better. Then bring something else in your life, just to change a little piece of your bad habits, rest do the same. After couple of months you will have better life with very good routine.

I definitely understand what you\u2019re going through&#8230; I would suggest you to focus on the present moment and only the present moment. When we have anxiety and depression( I did have a severe depression last year and I\u2019m still suffering from a little bit of anxiety right now) we tend to think about the past situations and future ones without realising, and that what keeps us from living our reality right now&#8230; try practicing gratitude more because it helps you remember and think about the blessings that you have now that we take for granted! These tips helped me get ahead. It didn\u2019t cure me but It definitely help me get out of my depression and anxiety \u201czone\u201d. I recommend you to read ( you may not feel the power to do such a thing but you got to combatte your inner \u201cdesire\u201d Of being incapable of doing anything ) or to listen to the book \u201cthe power of now\u201d . Definitely a book that was insightful. There also \u201cthe secret\u201d , and this book is life changing. No matter what state you\u2019re in , you have to read it . It might change your whole life!!! And to conclude, don\u2019t put many things on your to do list, start with small tasks that will help you get ahead and not ones that will push you even more into a Depressive state. I know you\u2019re capable of doing it ! You got this my friend, life is too short to get frustrated about things we often don\u2019t have control on , we will get sad a little, cry, get depressed, but we can handle it and get out of this state and continue our life in the best state possible\u2764\ufe0f Don\u2019t forget to read \u201cthe secret\u201dand \u201cthe power of now\u201d\ud83e\udd2d<br \/>\nHave a blessed day \u270c\ufe0f<br \/>\nL.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anne Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I too have some of those things and I found that I had to take a month off from the app and start again, perhaps with smaller goals.

I suffer from severe anxiety and PTSD and sometimes getting out of bed in the morning can feel impossible. I would say to start small. It can feel exciting to add a bunch of things to your list and routine, hoping to improve your mental health very quickly, but healing takes time. Start with drinking water. The very first task. Maybe try it for a week instead of 3 days before moving on to the next task. And try offering yourself a reward for completing it. As someone who doesn\u2019t drink very much water, be proud of yourself for accomplishing that! Celebrate the small successes. It can be so hard dealing with mental health problems, and I\u2019m very sorry to hear about your chronic back pain and fatigue. I would say to focus on what you do accomplish, rather than what you don\u2019t, and start small, working your way up.

Second step is pulling the sheets neatly and so on, that is how i managed to still do something without having the strengt to do the whole task. It took me much longer but i did it.

Once you\u2019ve done that for a week, then add more. In addition to starting small, reward yourself by doing these tasks. Eat a small snack that you love. Play a video game for a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Hope it helps. Good luck.

That sort of thing is not easy to cope with, and as someone who also has anxiety, I find it difficult to manage as well.<\/p>\n<p>A to do list is one thing, but those don\u2019t give you a sense of what you want to do as effectively as you might want. My advice? Be positive that you know exactly where and when you\u2019ll be working on your list, and do the high priority stuff first. Make a schedule for yourself. And hey, if you don\u2019t finish your goals the first time, don\u2019t beat yourself up over it. Just try again.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Felix W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Maybe remembering why you started will encourage you to keep going.

Be okay with the fact that you&#39;re not perfect. You&#39;re not going to get everything checked off at first. It may take a long time. Healing isn&#39;t linear. Be graceful with yourself  the times you don&#39;t get to it all and celebrate the small wins. Start with ONE a day for a month. Every day drink a glass of water. Or every day stretch&amp;meditate (at the same time!) for 5 minutes.  Most importantly know that wanting to change is the hardest and very first most important step to real change! You got this.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marialda Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Following the first 3 foundational habits has helped me with this. When I wake up and drink water, even if I don\u2019t get out of bed right away, it kickstarts my metabolism and eventually I will get hungry and go have breakfast. Keeping it simple leaves just a few dishes to wash&#x2F;rinse, and that makes it easy to start to also wipe down the counter and put a few things away. Exercising or going for a walk gives me the feeling that I\u2019ve already started doing SOMETHING today, so I might as well continue forward. Overall, I think the biggest help has been focusing on what I\u2019m doing in the moment without worrying about what I think I SHOULD be doing. Allowing what I\u2019m doing at any given time to be enough has seriously reduced my anxiety<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luna F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I reccomend you try to see a therapist, and even if you can&#39;t often check the app, you could try building small habits by yourself.

It\u2019s a journey you have to face at your own pace. Try to do the simple tasks first, like drink water, take medicine etc. What works for me is to have notifications on for a little push. Try to come back to the app, so you don\u2019t neglect it. But again, do everything at your own pace. It is okay if you stay still, too.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dayan Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">At the beginning is hard, try one thing at the time at your pace. when you achieve the first habit, then go with the others.

Good luck<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elizabeth Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try and gain motivation, so my idea is that you try and find a positive youtube channel, there\u2019s loads of people who film self care videos or just take you through their day, show you their morning routines and it gives me motivation to do the same. I don\u2019t really have any youtube channels to recommend but that gives you a chance to explore it yourself. I hope this helps, and have a good day x<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lukas E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The first this to do is accept that you have feelings that aren\u2019t always stellar! After accepting that, allow yourself to be nice to yourself. Don\u2019t scold yourself for not completing something. Honestly, I was doing the 3-Day challenges every other day. I\u2019d forget to check back in with the app all the time! But we also know what we need and what we are capable of. Don\u2019t sell yourself short. You\u2019ve got this!!! You can only move forward. Let everything else roll off the shoulders.

Cuz tomorrow is still a chance<br \/>\nAnd just push ur self a bit maybe well that&#39;s what I do, evertime i don&#39;t feel doing a task I remember how happy I was after that one time I did it and that gives me motivation to earn that happiness again by doing the task just like that other time when I was a little bit more energetic<br \/>\nAnd once u push ur self everyday one day u will want to do it without a hesitation cuz if u don&#39;t ur day will feel empty<br \/>\nSending lots and lots of love, don&#39;t surrender u got this!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Joanne Maria N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would talk to my doctor and therapist.

Your rewards don&#39;t need to cost anything, example your first reward could be a few sips of your favorite juice or flavored water. Reward number 2 could be a silly dance to a song you like, and reward number 3 could be a short walk or reading a few pages of your favorite book. The rewards will help you find motivation and make your to do list much less cumbersome.

I understand how you\u2019re feeling, I deal with generalized anxiety disorder and major depression. Take one step at a time. Have supportive people around to help you through it all. Its okay to have those feelings, but take your time. Start off small, like, drink water every morning when you wake up. Use this app to help guide you. Start with one little routine, such as drinking water every morning, and build from there.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Violet Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">To be honest, when I was beginning I felt the same, is very hard to accomplish your tasks without any motivation, but what I did was starting slowly, one more task per day, picture it this way: even if you do just one of your tasks at least you&#39;re doing better than before, don&#39;t get yourself overwhelmed trying to do too much at once, when you keep that on track you&#39;ll be able to do them without even noticing because they will become a routine. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Michelle F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Good morning I hear you well as I also love the app and don\u2019t always tick things off.

I find just listening to your own body doing meditation \ud83e\uddd8\u200d\u2640\ufe0f really helps and don\u2019t be so hard on yourself either if you miss a few tasks as they will still be there when your able to do them. Ask yourself why did you start using the app in the first place and remind yourself of that every time you feel low. This is what I find helps me with the app and motivating me to tick off what I can do as well. It\u2019s ok to not be ok and pick up from where you left off.

If you leave things on checked then perhaps change or update what&#39;s on it. Meaning if you say run 3 mi but you&#39;ve only ran ever a block then make it smaller.

What I found especially challenging is getting through my anxiety with starting tasks or finishing long ones. What helped and what I advise you to do is instead of getting ~10 things on your to-do list a day get less. For example just put two tasks there and say \u201cI only need to do these two things today, that\u2019s not much\u201d. You\u2019ll find it easier to get through them without the feeling of constantly running out of time.

Consistency is the key. And take one small step at a time , be gentle with yourself and even if you miss one day , try again the next day.

That is what has worked for me.  We come to this app because we intuitively know  we need help or we really want to relax, or take a deep breath.  With everything else going on,  start small.  Try something like a one minute stretch.  I actually started with simply drinking water in the morning as a small change to relax and be healthy.  Later, I added deep breath&#39;s.  I had so many things I wanted to do and change,  but starting small and simple worked for me.  I also listened to the music as I drank my water.  It helped set the tone of relaxing,  something I had forgotten how to do.

It makes it 10X harder than complete anything. I try to put an alarm for almost everything. I put an alarm for the app. It\u2019s like I forget about the app at times. Even though the app has its own alerts, I use the phones reminders as well. Sometime when I hear it, i don\u2019t have the motivation to get up and do it. It\u2019s the worse feeling because it\u2019s like a certain mental exhaustion or barrier that\u2019s extremely hard to break. What I do is sometimes say GET UP 3x. It could be in your head or actually speaking it. You have to imagine that someone is telling you this and each time it gets louder. You have to be stern with yourself. If you are laying in bed, don\u2019t close your eyes. While you are saying this, imagine a floating mirage of yourself above you. You are speaking to you. The mirage is telling you what you NEED to hear not what you want to hear. you have to be a bit angry with yourself and rise from the bed annoyed like a mom yelling to a kid to get up for school. You control the game, don\u2019t let the game play you. The mind is yours to handle.

I suffer with similar ailments so I hear you. These are 2 things that have worked for me (and to clarify, they don\u2019t work 100% of the time, but more often than not). 1) set up a reward and a break after every to do. I schedule the to do in my calendar and then the reward after. That could be a cookie, 5 minutes of tiktok or buying something if it was a big to do. 2) and this is a hard one to explain &#8211; but I almost unconsciously start doing the task. So you\u2019re in bed, thinking about how much you don\u2019t want to get up or how sore your back is and that you just can\u2019t do the task today. Keep thinking about that and how much you don\u2019t want to do it, but also roll out of bed. Don\u2019t think about starting to complete the task &#8211; that\u2019s too daunting. Keep thinking about how much you don\u2019t want to do it while you start doing it. I usually realize it wasn\u2019t as bad as I made it out in my head and I keep going. Or some days I say ya. No. Not today , and be gentle on myself.

Sometimes you just don\u2019t want to do the things you have to do. But the secret, which is actually not that big of a secret and you probably know this, is YOU just have to GET UP and DO IT. No one can help you but yourself, all these guidelines are given, but in the end you yourself will have to make the steps necessary to achieve your goal. I keep a journal in which I write my goals for today, and I check them off when I\u2019ve done them. It\u2019s important to just get going and stop thinking or being distracted about other things.

Obviously, you don\u2019t want to make the reward the habit, so after you get into a routine, you can slowly weed off that reward system.<br \/>\n3) And finally: add a streak system, but allow yourself break days (limit them, though, because then you\u2019ll fall into the trap of \u201cwell, I\u2019ll just do it tomorrow\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t really think of anything else, but hopefully you find this helpful!

Just add one more prioritized tasks when you feel up for it. The small things you accomplish makes a whole you should still be proud of. Do what you can and make your progress more visible, like seeing the mug of water you put out empty. It is encouraging and tells you that you&#39;re improving and not at standstill.

The list of your ailments means that you have a lot on your plate, a lot of things to consider, a lot of obstacles to work against. Don\u2019t be too hard on yourself. Maybe reduce the list of tasks or leave them in place but accept that you won\u2019t tick them off every day. I\u2019ve had to learn that myself in the last two or three weeks when things were a lot more busy than usually. Normally I would try to do evening exercises for my back every night. But I\u2019ve had to skip  them a couple of times because I was just too tired. I realised I wanted to do them not for my back but just to tick them off and that\u2019s not the idea behind fabulous I would say.

As for your physical pain, I would put yoga on my list.<br \/>\nGood luck buddy!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Barbara U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First, I\u2019m sorry to hear that. Depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue and back pain is definitely going to hinder you from building great habits. I can\u2019t help you with the last two, but I can try my best to relieve the first two. Don\u2019t worry, with a little bit of reflection you will be A-OK. Be honest with yourself, why did you download the app? Remember the reason why you wanted to create good habits for yourself. For me, I\u2019m doing this so that my future self could live a good life. At my present state, I feel useless and can\u2019t contribute anything. I\u2019m building habits so I can be useful to other people. Make sure to think hard and don\u2019t lie to yourself. After you find your reason, make sure to stick with it. That\u2019s the crucial part in doing the habits. If you\u2019re really serious in changing yourself you have to be serious in doing them. I have days where I don\u2019t want to do my checklist, but I force myself to do it because I want to be useful. That\u2019s my advice for building your habits. For your depression and anxiety, I will assume it has something to do with a social setting. Your friends could be a factor to your depression and anxiety. If you have friends, but you don\u2019t feel like you can vent to them or feel like they\u2019re not your friends at all, it\u2019s time to move on for your sake. If not, then good. I\u2019m serious when I\u2019m saying these things because I want you to be happy with yourself. Pinpoint what\u2019s making you depressed and anxious and get rid of it from your life. This is for you. Make the change. I\u2019m excited to see what you can do!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elo Se A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start small. It&#39;s better to check off one essential habit than to have an unchecked list. In case you want to build a routine (morning, night, etc.), you could write down 3 different routines. The first one is the perfect, ideal routine when you have high energy levels. The second one is the medium energy level routine; downsize your list and habit duration. The third one is the low energy&#x2F; no energy routine; this includes the most essential things you have to do.<br \/>\nExample: ideal &#8211; stretch 15 min and do a 30 min workout; medium energy &#8211; stretch 5 min and 10 min workout, low energy &#8211; stretch 2 min.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alo S Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hey. I suffered from depression too&#8230; I have noticed that unless I was ready to put all my willpower into starting to take small steps I was doing just like you said. But once I was really determined to change my state, I started to see things working. Another way I was able to achieve the goal that I&#39;ve set is by taking each day at a time. You failed today? That&#39;s fine. You keep going, keep at your goal and start fresh tomorrow. Soon enough, you&#39;ll see that you have a pile of small achievements that you can be proud of. And those small achievements will transform into your goal one day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gisella V.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Have a single task to achieve. Just one. Start like that and keep this amount of tasks for as long as you need.

Something that helps me is taking it one small step at a time, for example if I want to get ready but don\u2019t feel up for it, I\u2019ll say to myself \u201cWhat\u2019s the first step you can do?\u201d In this scenario it would be getting out of bed. By breaking it up into smaller steps it gives me a feeling of accomplishment that makes me want to do the next bit. Good luck and I hope this helps!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maddie N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If your to do list has stretching on it, just start by only doing small stretches for a minute.

Once you have that one down, add another one.<br \/>\nSometimes when you have anxiety and depression the simple tasks can seem imposible si celebrate each one even if it is just with a smile.<br \/>\nGood luck \ud83e\udd0d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicholas E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Keep track of how long each task takes, check the time it takes for all tasks the day before, and get up when you can do those tasks.<br \/>\nIf it is difficult to get up, change the number of tasks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alex N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You must stretch in the morning or before going to bed.

Everything will come to its place believe me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Saier M.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi, I\u2019m sorry you are feeling this way. I\u2019ve been there and it\u2019s really difficult sometimes. What helped me is to pick one thing, just one thing, not many, that makes me feel better about myself (for me, it was simply washing my face and having a skincare routine). And stick with it. Once you\u2019ve done it for a few days, add another. Trying to do too much at once and not hitting them all will only deter you from doing any of it. And finally, be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself for not having checked the boxes. And know tomorrow is another day, and you can make a difference and start new by doing just that one thing. You got this!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tc A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Starts with the smallest easiest tasks. Even if you leave me any tasks unchecked and undone Repeating the same ones every day is still a form of gross. Next thing you know it would add another task to your to do list very easily and it\u2019s yes easier to do than it was at first. Tiny blocks of good habits is still progress. Fast progress or slow progress it\u2019s still progress<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mia W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Stay strong and keep your head up. Everything will fall into place (it is just the matter of time). For me I struggle with the same issue (I\u2019m a student). The to do list on actual paper gets up to two pages sometimes. But for me everyday I still take like 10 mins to \u2018transfer\u2019 the to do\u2019s and add in new ones; while of course I still rearrange the importance of the tasks again. Another thing that I do that might help you is to have like 3 big tasks? (Or one if you\u2019re just starting, and build it up) If you are building routine it takes determination, consistency, and especially time. I see a lot of influencers sometimes only do grocery shopping, and other small tasks and they consider it a day. And sometimes I feel like I\u2019m too harsh on myself, so seeing that helps (and being less harsh and more human on myself helps also. It will also for you, and you are already THRIVING! getting through everyday with all those conditions!!! So don\u2019t be too harsh on yourself; start with one big task (like an report or an assignment) and then build up. Another tip, if it\u2019s like a work project, or anything that is big, break it down. Once you check one box you might (I sort of do) have a bit more motivation to do another. Another tip that I find really helps, is have a separate space for these three to do list: far away (like far away as in a week?), less important (as in less important for today and tomorrow and things of the rest of the week), and dump list (this is more for helping with not being able to stay focused)(it is a list to write down anything: thoughts, a fun video that you want to watch, entertainment: skating?, or just a nee to do- so you can organize it later in other categories). Last tip, I even give checkboxes to simple to do\u2019s (like waking up, brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, etc.). Those things often get overlooked, but they are essential to taking care of your body! So if you do that it\u2019s an achievement! They are part of the normal day tasks, but they do take up a lot of time! (And they give you a bit more motivation as more boxes are checked) So with breaking big tasks down, setting one big task a day and all other little tasks (self-care&#x2F; normal daily stuff, and smaller tasks), and having different to do lists so you can categorize all and put your main focus on the main one, might help you. I hope this helps! I struggle a lot to be productive also, and even when I do sit down to studying it is very hard for me to stay focused for more that 1&#x2F;2hr (I\u2019m the 1&#x2F;2 study and 2 or 3 hour break type of student) so I genuinely hope it does help you! And stay strong and keep fighting and keep moving forward (even if it\u2019s tiny toe length steps). I do not know you, but I am sure that one day you\u2019ll be in a place where you feel like everything has or is staring to fall into place, where you feel like life is getting better (although obstacles might still occur in the future you, trust me, even if you don\u2019t think so, the future you will already have more strength to face it. So it will be okay), and where you start to feel happier and at peace. You are loved and appreciated! I wish you the best in life. Best of luck stranger!

Perhaps set alarms, that helps me!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jessica P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with a task that seems the *least* daunting. Perhaps taking a vitamin or drinking water? See if you can at least check that one off for the day. If you&#39;re able to do at least one thing, celebrate it as if you tackled a huge goal. Because it WAS a huge goal for the day! The act of celebrating it (assuming it&#39;s a lovely celebration) may incentivize you to tackle another, slightly more involved task. Maybe stretching or taking a walk. Keep celebrating what you are able to do, in a way that feels amazing to you, and allow yourself some grace for the tasks that you absolutely cannot do. Tell yourself that you&#39;ll check it off once you feel better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Hil Rio C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I can understand you but we are the only one who have to make a bit of efforts..how about you reward yourself with something whenever you do a certain task (like eating your favorite dessert, etc).<br \/>\nFor anxiety i will surely suggest you to listen to calm music and have a cup of tea or hot choco (if you like it) or you can have a cookie too. Whenever you are feeling very much anxious or may feel having an anxiety attack then drop everything that you are doing, leave every thought behind and focus on your breathe, your breathing pattern and give yourself the butterfly hug(you can search for it on Google) and tell yourself the positive things like everything will be fine, it is not your fault, you are good, etc.<br \/>\nAs for depression, i know you are a fighter and you will overcome it, i have faith in you. Just keep fighting, don&#39;t let that hope&#x2F; that light drift away from you.

And you don&#39;t necessarily have to do them everyday at first, but at least do them 2-4 times a week and see how it goes. Slowly you might find motivation to do them more often. Coming from someone who struggles with depression and executive dysfunction.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L On N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try to find something you like to do<br \/>\nStart doing some exercises<br \/>\nDon\u2019t stay at home all the time ,go out and spend time with people<br \/>\nAnd don\u2019t forget to visit the sea if you could \ud83d\udc99<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ian Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think you just need to find your why.

The things you strive to do to help you better yourself shouldn&#39;t feel routine or unnecessary.

What many don\u2019t realize is that you don\u2019t have to do it all at once. If you\u2019re having trouble completing your tasks and they are given you a trouble doing multiple tasks, simply start with one task you know you can do. That is why Fabulous begins with drinking water. If you can do that for 14-21 days you will find it\u2019s easy and you are craving more habits. <\/p>\n<p>If you can break your mind thinking from a place of, \u201cI have to do more,\u201d or, \u201cI need to be my best,\u201d then you will be able to focus on your life and your tasks. <\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t feel shame for starting small\u2026 there are many who came before you and there are many who will come after you\u2026 simply start.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nikolaj W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I first started this app, I was not in the right place to stay on top of the changes it suggested. When you\u2019re battling so many obstacles and emotions, it\u2019s easy to back burner or let things slide because our emotions and daily lives overshadow a lot of the little things. My recommendation is to have grace with yourself and start small. If one day you feel too overwhelmed to focus on the daily challenge just tell yourself it\u2019s okay and try again tomorrow. Try to commit to one day. Tell yourself you\u2019ll do one task, everything is always hard at first but the more intentional you are the easier the tasks become. And one small thing over time adds up. You can absolutely do this!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gerald P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hello, try to get things as close to you as possible so that you can&#39;t really make an excuse &#39;It is too far away, or it will take too much time.&#39;, or make them very small steps, move at your own pace. As I have encountered they give you 3days and then move to another habit, try tracking one for a longer time and concentrate just on it, it might help. Also try to talk to a psychologist maybe they can help you with depression and anxiety, in a way that they teach you how to handle them.

Breathe is one of the available tasks in this app, start with a short breathing exercises like taking deep breaths&#8230; Maybe start with 3 deep breaths per day and check that one off. Other tasks, you can start by giving yourself the goal of doing them just 3 days a week, whatever seems reasonable for your specific situation, don&#39;t try to overload yourself from the beginning, take it one step at a time and slowly build that habit&#8230; Don&#39;t set expectations either, like the habit will be built in 1 month, give yourself a longer timeframe that adjusts to your situation and never ever compare your progress to someone else&#39;s progress.

Take care &lt;3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aariya X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I get where you are coming from, there was a point in my life where I didn\u2019t feel like doing anything, but what motivated me was imagining what life would be like if I actually did the things on my check list\u2026 how differently I would see myself as a person. Something else that might help is finding people who you can relate to, to talk about what you are going through. If this is not an option find someone to talk to\u2026 and if it feels like know one is there to talk to, I promise you, you simply need to look harder. There is always someone there in your life who loves you for who you are and who you can talk to without their judgment. I hate that not only you but so many people have to go through these things in life and it usually seems like there is no end, but trust me one day if you put in the effort to live healthier even if it is the bare minimum you will see the results and find your long awaited peace. I hope with all my heart that this day come soon for you and that you can live your best life. I\u2019m so proud of you for making it this far, and I want you to remember there are always people out there who love you, you just have to open your eyes (even if it\u2019s from a stranger who means well), so NEVER give up. When the world tries to tear you down keep marching forward with your head high. It doesn\u2019t matter what they say or do, at the end of the day they are going to go home and stress over their own insecurities. Live for you and no one else because you are here for a reason and you are worth it. <\/p>\n<p>Lots of love always and forever &lt;3333 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>(sorry if it sounded like I was rambling)<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adeodato Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I started just by waking up and drinking a glass of water each day! That\u2019s it my only goal was to do that! Then increased to a small breakfast so I tried grapes or a couple mini oranges, fabgetting in tune with the meditations they have to offer I also did that each morning meditation is great for the soul, but it\u2019s as easy as thinking ok where do I walk as soon as I wake up each morning? My answer to the coffee machine, so how about I keep my glass of water there and drink it then prepare your self the night before so it\u2019s a little easier to not subconsciously setting yourself up for failure\u2026. By starting small you can increase to a bigger commitment and so on\ud83d\udc8e\ud83d\udc8e\ud83d\udc8e you will sparkle as a diamond would once you feel the empowered new you that\u2019s been set forth!!!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Su Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try making the list more simple.

Some advice I have is to keep in mind why you want to do this for yourself and then reward yourself every time you get something, even if it\u2019s small, done. Don\u2019t guilt trip yourself when you aren\u2019t able to do so, and go easy on your mistakes \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Olivia Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You have the power within yourself to make change. The first step is to do it despite how your body feels. When I feel tired I still brush my teeth Bc I know it needs to be done, not Bc I feel like it. Sometime you have to ignore how you feel and just do it. Once you get that going you can learn to be compassionate with yourself and apply balance in your life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sandra F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Honestly, just remember that you&#39;re working and doing all of this for your future self. Image what you could become in a year or so. For example, if you walk 20 mins a day for a whole year, I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll see some progress and you&#39;ll see yourself getting fitter and fitter if you continue the habit. I don&#39;t know which tasks you&#39;re struggling to get over with on the app, but honestly drinking water is much, much easier than forcing yourself to get out of the house to go for a walk etc., so start with that. Start with the easiest of tasks. Try to remind yourself of drinking water. Even when you&#39;re not that thirsty, drink at least a little sip every now and again. I&#39;ve been struggling to drink water mainly because I pretty much never feel &quot;THIRSTY&quot; thirsty. Like, ever. So drink a little and maybe eat a fruit or a snack with it from time to time. Filling up the water cup every time you stand up and go to tje kitchen is a good tip as well. Just make sure your water cup is filled! You can buy one of the larger ones (500-800ml cups)&#8230; altho the ones closer to 1l might be heavy. Just experiment. I have some 500ml cups and they&#39;re not too heavy \ud83d\ude42 As for tasks that may be harder, like eating breakfast&#8230; well, this is a matter of habit. The thing is, you don&#39;t HAVE to know how to cook. I&#39;m not even 18 yet, my mom hasn&#39;t really taught me any recipes except for scrambled eggs, I&#39;ve never really shown excessive interest either&#8230; so I basically don&#39;t know how to cook, and I can barely even wash the dishes, since I never really had to do that (we have a dishwasher)&#8230; so&#8230; if you lack motivation to cook, I understand you. I really don&#39;t like dealing with the messy pans (touching that wet sponge is sometimes a nightmare, it feels like touching so many germs &#8211; remember to throw out or at least wash the sponge in the dishwasher every once in a while&#8230; throw it out every week or every month depending on usage and whatnot)&#8230; dealing with cleaning the countertops, cleaning your hands every 5 seconds&#8230; it&#39;s discouraging. But honestly, I&#39;ve pretty much been eating scrambled eggs for breakfast for the past 3 days, and hey, it&#39;s not that bad! I&#39;m not saying you have to make boring scrambled eggs for breakfast every day, but honestly, it&#39;s one of the easier things and it tastes good. If you don&#39;t like that, and you don&#39;t even like to cook, I recommend getting some healthy oatmeal or cereal&#8230; oatmeal is probably a bit healthier, but it depends. Both of those breakfast choices are usually packed with sugar though, maybe except for Corn Flakes or other quite bland and basic cereals. So, I recommend getting some cereal, or for a healthier option, just buy a bunch of fruits. Bananas, mandarines, apples, pears, anything that&#39;s easy to peel. Maybe grapes&#8230; anything you like. You can buy some vegetables and make a salad as well! Maybe I&#39;ll be considered as an immensely boring person, but I really like just eating tomatoes and cucumbers as a salad. You can add some lettuce, too \ud83d\ude42 Anything is good. As long as you get a nutritional meal. You can try out some extremely easy recipes online, too. Or ask your family&#x2F;a friend if they have any good recipes that are easy. Do it over the phone if you&#39;d like, or you can meet up with them. Whatever works. If you&#39;re struggling with depression and anxiety, just remember that it doesn&#39;t have to be this hard. Make the necessary steps to try to improve your life, even if it&#39;s quite difficult, the progress is worth it. I&#39;m not in the best place mentally, but I try my best. It&#39;s difficult. Challenging. I know. But one step at a time. Make the most basic salad made out of a mere cucumber and a sad tomato. Maybe people will laugh at you. Honestly, I sometimes chuckle at myself and say &quot;Haha, this would be such a bland salad for most people, but I&#39;m actually quite excited to eat it because I made it myself.&quot;&#8230; I&#39;m so weirdly proud of myself for making these easy recipes, I don&#39;t even know why. It&#39;s like an accomplishment, a reward. It&#39;s hard to explain. But it does get better with time. Your life, your cooking skills if you want to improve thosd as well. You gotta start somewhere though, and work from there. Try your best!! And the results shall come. There WILL be hardships and problems along the way. Do your best to overcome those and no matter what, just push through. Don&#39;t feel like showering today? Push through and make yourself do it. Just a quick 5-minute shower, and then you go to bed. You feel accomplished because you did something you were planning on procrastinating&#8230; or giving up completely that day. (Trust me, I know how hard it is to shower sometimes, or is that just me?) Take it one step at a time; don&#39;t know how to cook? Eat raw fruits, some vegetables, make some scrambled eggs, try to learn the MOST BASIC AND EASIEST recipes from your mom or something!! It can be fun! \ud83d\ude42 Except for the wash-up and post clean-up, haha. Struggle to drink water? Keep a 500ml cup beside your bed or close to you. &quot;Travel&quot; around your house with that thing, haha. It&#39;s now tied and locked up with you. Forever \ud83d\ude42 haha jk, just make sure it&#39;s close by so you can drink some :)) Baby steps. 2 liters of water every day may seem overwhelming; just try to aim for 1 liter, 1.5 liters, maybe less if it&#39;s a hassle. Just start somewhere. Whenever you start, you activate this domino effect, this momentum effect where you start taking a shower, then you get the motivation to wash your hair because you&#39;re already in the shower&#8230; you eat a fruit after&#8230; you vacuum your floors, you moisturize your feet or something, you sprinkle in some hair products or whatever&#8230; it&#39;s a good little spiral. Or maybe after that shower all you wanna do is go to sleep. That&#39;s fine. Just try to achieve at least one little thing every day: even if it&#39;s just drinking SOME water!!! Set some goals. And see where you are next year ON THAT SAME DAY. Today is Feb 11th? Well, set some goals: I will drink water, I will stop eating candy, I will do one 10-minute workout video a day, I will try to get rid of acne, etc. It really helps! You have a deadline, and you can compare your progress a year later on that same day. I have been trying to get rid of acne, and I already see some tremendous and WONDERFUL changes just by using benzoyl peroxide (research&#x2F;go to a dermatologist before u start!!), drinking water, and avoiding junk food and candy. I don&#39;t even eat all that *healthily*, I mean, yes, I eat fruits and vegetables etc., but overall I don&#39;t eat as healthily as all of these influencers and dieticians&#8230; I just do my best to avoid junk food 99% of the time.  It&#39;s been about six months (started around summer) and my acne has almost cleared up, although lately I have been struggling with sleep and even washing my face, so some of that acne has reappeared. I try to push myself and do the best that I can. I hope this helped. All the luck to you. Sorry if this was too long!!

Even if the app tells you to add more. For example, I started out with drinking water. I did that and nothing else for 10 days until it really became a habit. I added another task after that but it is also totally fine and still great if you just stick with one or two for a while.

As in, maybe try adapting the tasks in the app to fit your situation? For example, if it\u2019s difficult to do a stretch routine, so some desk stretches so you don\u2019t have to move lots.

I think you need to think deep in your heart if there\u2019s one big specific thought or experience that is acting almost like a chain preventing you from being willing to change. For me, I had to reach the understanding that I was holding onto childish habits and affections. I needed to decide that I wanted to move forward from those and let go of things that gave me pleasure as a youth because they were costing me my willingness to take responsibility for my behaviour and future as an adult. But take your time and be kind to yourself in this process. You\u2019re not alone. You can be brave and bold. You are capable of so many more things than you could ever know right now.

Think about why you want to do the things on your to do list. If you don\u2019t have a why you will be much less likely to do it. Maybe even remove some things from your list for a while if you are feeling overwhelmed by it and start small. It\u2019s need to be realistic for where you are now. Implement tiny habits. For example Instead of starting with going for a run make your goal to pick up your tennis shoes first thing in the morning and then celebrate when you do. Tell yourself you are successful and you are accomplishing your goals when you do the tiny things. If you want to floss your teeth make your goal to floss one tooth\u2026 and then high five yourself when you do one (but i bet you\u2019ll actually do more than one once you\u2019ve grabbed the floss).<br \/>\nStart tiny and talk positively to yourself. Stop focusing on where you want to be and how far from that you are but instead on the tiny successes of where you are at. It will build momentum. All the best! Go do one tiny thing on your list now.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lauren Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Just start off small. Maybe a morning routine with two tasks, one in afternoon, and another in the evening. Promise yourself something if you can get these done.

That way you can feel more motivated for the bigger ones. And you will be more likely to do them. Maybe just put 2-3 tasks on your Todo list, and if you manage them, gradually add more and pat yourself on the back for every one.

I\u2019ve only just begun using this app but I\u2019m choosing not to turn it into a checklist of ToDos like I\u2019ve done with different apps in the past. Make this a place to list healthy habits as precious gems you gather and treasure each day. Start small again, just a few simple habits you can build on give them time to form a foundation before you add on more. When you do add something on, add one specific thing and nothing more.

Just prepare in advance, like \u201cI\u2019m going to bed today at 11 and wake up at 8\u201d, and try to follow along this plan as hard as you can. Also phone is evil. Get rid of anything that garbage your thoughts.

Im sorry for you. I hope it&#39;ll get better soon!\u2764 You should start by doing one easy task a day. When your feeling like you can handle more, then you should start doing that too. But I know it takes time. You could start on drinking a  glass of water every morning, or strech before going to bed. Set some alarms and take it easy. I hope i helped a bit! You can always text.\u2764<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Melissa U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You need to hold yourself accountable. What I think you should do is to start with one task or two at most. Start with meditation to clear your mind and since you suffer from anxiety, this can calm you down. Take walks for depression if you tell dad or surround yourself with loved ones. Maybe meditation can help with that too.Now you have chronic back pain, try stretching. It helps your body to relax and after you stretch take a nap and relax.Also you should see a doctor about all of this.Remember start one at a time. You can have one task you do or you can have different tasks you do each day. The second method I mention with keep you on a schedule and help your prom Lena one step at a time. So you don\u2019t overwhelm yourself with to much at one time. As time gets on add more stuff. I\u2019d say after five months or when ever you feel ready. Go talk to a doctor about this or a therapist, they can help much more than me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">M N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try starting your day with self-affirmation or gratitude journal. Make your bed, do some quick stretching and drink water right after. If you can, make your own breakfast or at least eat breakfast that is high in fiber and good fats. You can find the science behind these things \ud83d\ude09. It can be quite challenging at first, but the intial goal is to achieve consistency then you may not even realize it, the positive effect will naturally come. 1 hr per week of exercise (or 52 hrs per year) for example, is better than zero. You can do this!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">El I Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you find you\u2019re leaving many of your tasks unchecked, I\u2019d go back to only having one or two to do a day. Forcing yourself to try and complete a long list when you don\u2019t feel up to it (for completely understandable reasons) isn\u2019t going to help much of anything. Start small, for example just drinking water when you wake up or eating a good breakfast. Then celebrate it and be proud that you did it. Even if it doesn\u2019t seem like a lot, it very much is and you should recognize that. So, go back to basics before pushing yourself anymore than that, I know you can do it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Henri C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try and check off easy and simple tasks first, once you\u2019ve accomplished those you might feel more proud and excited to feel the accomplishment of other more difficult tasks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jay T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hey honestly trying to make it fun for yourself is key. I made a simple but effective routine checklist that is making a difference in being consistent. I personally just think about how this is something I chose to do for a reason, and how in the long run it will be worth it. I listen to many motivational podcasts and speeches to. Many of these help with getting into the right mindset to start this journey of consistency.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L Andro O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When we feel unwell, physically and&#x2F;or mentally, it becomes more difficult to make efforts. I suggest taking a new start. Make sure every single task is significant to you and start small. Better have only one task that we accomplish than 20 that we don\u2019t. What could really make a difference in your well-being? Maybe it\u2019s just taking the time to stop for a few seconds during the day and tell yourself \u201cI\u2019m not feeling good right now, but it\u2019s ok. It\u2019s been better before so it can be better in the future. I am grateful for XYZ. I will try my best today.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Martina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think you should try the Curable app.  It helped me with anxiety and pain.  I think that would free you to be able to do more!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ray E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes I use mediations affirmations I also downloaded a prayer app and I have goals and challenges I do<br \/>\nOn there I also have all<br \/>\nThe things u have but I promise u will<br \/>\nGet thru it I\u2019m the power of faith<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Allison W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">First try doing fewer and smaler things. Then if you feel like you could do more add a bit bigger tasks. Dont ever give up though. I wish you the best &lt;3<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Violeta Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">For me it helps when I make my environment more accessible for the tasks. I now sleep with a bottle of water on my nightstand so I can roll over and grab it when I wake up (the app suggests it). Right after I do the water task while still in bed is when I open the app and do the journaling task and so forth. Once the ball is rolling it\u2019s easier to go with it. I also don\u2019t go big with the tasks to start off. Like I\u2019m not chugging and entire glass of water, eating a giant breakfast, and exercising for an hour. I\u2019m taking about 8 gulps, grabbing some nuts and a fruit for breakfast on my way out the door and stretching for 10 minutes every morning whether it be at home or work. I hope this helps.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Darvin C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You have to want to make the change. Start small, drinking water and eating breakfast. When it comes to the fatigue and back pain don\u2019t over push yourself. Try and sleep earlier if you can to help with your tiredness. Vitamin D3 is also very helpful when feeling depressed. Ultimately you have to to remind yourself you are doing this to make your life better. I believe in you you can do it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amber T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with a tiny list, maybe just one item and make sure you get that done each day! Celebrate each time you complete your list. Make sure each item on your list is not too much work either. Once you  get into the habit of finishing a list, add something small or make one of the tasks bigger (work put for 6 minutes instead of 5).<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your items align with your goals too. If ypu don&#39;t care about the items on your list, it is harder to complete them.<\/p>\n<p>For TODO list that do not fall in a routine (like a morning routine or an evening routine) it will be much harder. It is all about discipline, which may be hard to come by if you&#39;re suffering from pain and depression. Try to start simple as well. Maybe one item a day. Celebrate each time you complete an item, and don&#39;t be too harsh on your self if you do not complete the list. There is always another day!<\/p>\n<p>I wish you the best of luck!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anselm O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try making this a habit of yours, check in before going to sleep or if you&#39;re too tired by then, check in in the afternoon. I know it won&#39;t be easy for you, but take that as a challenge, it&#39;s either you or this messed up world. Raise your middle finger to it, it really is a battle and you&#39;re gonna win. So try and make the most out of your journey.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tracey J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Try starting with small tasks or just one task a day, the best part about personal growth is that it isn\u2019t a race. Everyday doing one thing and celebrating the fact you achieved that one thing could give you a much needed boost for your day. Even if you get up, and without looking at your phone just go outside and feel the sun on your skin, or have a big stretch to get out the kinks. Then take a big breath and smile, appreciate the fact you have even gotten up today and embrace the little things.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kate P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I know it\u2019s really hard but try to start as small and as easy. Instead of 20 minute run, go for a 5 minute walk. And get stuff ready before (even the day before if it\u2019s in the morning) so that when it\u2019s time to do it you only have to start it, and not prepare for it. Also, don\u2019t have lots of tasks all at once. I think once you get into a routine it gets easier, but build it up very slowly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Madalina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Hi, I say start with small steps, try every morning when you wake up to drink some water, I have been doing this for some time and I seem to have more energy, try to eat breakfast as consistently and healthy as possible at the same time. Of course at first it will be hard but with time you will succeed. I trust you! \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Magnus W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Taking things slow and try adding a new habit when you&#39;re ready. I personally started with just the water challenge because completing one small habit can make you motivated to complete another. I understand it can be tempting to jump right in and force yourself into creating a bunch of new habits. But, I also know that if I try to change too much all at once, I get really overwhelmed and don&#39;t do anything on my list. This will just lead you back into a cycle of depression over not accomplishing your tasks and make you more anxious the next time to try to accomplish them. I recommend starting small and working your way to creating habits slowly. You will arrive at your goal faster and have less stress getting there. Remember not to be hard on yourself and try having a relaxed attitude towards starting a new habit. If you don&#39;t accomplish something on your list, it&#39;s okay. Tomorrow is a new day, and you can try again. No big deal. Take care. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Fanny U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Deep breaths, press pause. You have to keep a calm and positive mind. The better you think the better it will be. Most likely there\u2019s medication you can take for your back pain or at least a like lotion or something like that. For example Icy hot. Also same for depression, there\u2019s things you can do to help it. Keeping good health, mental and physical, you can get thru it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tars Cio A.
