finding joy

what do you guys look forward to in your days? or what do you do to fill up your days? I find myself wanting to sleep all the time and not get out of bed. nothing really excites me anymore and I feel like the only thing there is to do is my work or social media. none of which excite me. so I wanna hear your responses!

At the moment iam feeling what is going on with you. The strangest thing is that iam making all things procrastinate. And I don't want to come out of bed and when iam not in a sleep I only think about all the time I wasted.

yup! sounds like me right now 😭 it’s 6:15pm here and I have yet to get out of bed lol

Hi, I look forward to music. It helps me get through the day. Also writing can be exciting, have your tried journaling or poetry? Some other entertaining things to try would be drawing/coloring, cooking if you have the energy, taking walks, reading or listening to audiobooks...

yes music and journaling are really helpful! thanks for sharing

I take a walk everyday. Also do deep breathing and journaling. I think the next thing I am going to try is making a list of things I need/want to do and then try to accomplish at least one every day. I may have to get someone to challenge me so that I stay on track.

Thanks for replying. I have not made my list yet. My therapist has asked me to be prepared next time to give her an idea of my daily routine. My goal is to get that done today. What are your goals?

Hidden gabrielle00 Taking a daily walk is a really great idea! I used to do walking meditations every so often, so I think I will get back into that! :) Thanks for sharing!!
