I think it's a matter of momentum. It takes a lot of energy to take that first step and change what you are doing, and after that there's nothing to it. It seems to be a part of human nature.
One step at a time... I felt like I couldn’t get motivated to do that. But eventually I did.
First step, go outside. Take a walk.
Go somewhere comfortable. I started outside, then places where there’s not too many people. Family does comfort me. So family is a good place to go.
Take small steps to start. Maybe just get up and do something in the house first. Then venture to the door and look out. Then try a short walk or just standing outside. As the other poster said, once you get started it is easier.
