How do I become more of a doer?

In the last few years I have struggled with depression and anxiety after losing my mum to cancer. In the past I was proactive making film projects. Now I find I am just not driven to make a project. I do still have ideas. But don’t feel interested in doing them. Part of the issue is that I don’t have friends who live near me who are interested in film projects. Anyway any ideas on how to get out of this rut?

Get outside and start taking pics or filming anything.... tech these days u can collaborate online on projects... you just have to find your bliss. This sounds corny but our brains do this to ourselves... we use excuses for not doing something instead of just doing it... 😊☀️

Allow yourself a break from it and wait for inspiration. Live life fully and inspiration will come. Breathe deep and walk in nature, it is so good for us, rain or shine, snow or whatever. Also, are you volunteering? That is helpful for you while you are helping others and burst of inspiration will come too. Magnesium is great to calm the mind body and spirit and B complex is great for energy and focus. Best to you, this too shall pass.
