Usually, in daily life, we are motivated to do something, then we do it. But when our mood is low, we have to do something before the motivation comes. Motivation follows action, rather than the other way around. Mark Williams & Danny Penman, Mindfulness.
Try: List a few things you need to do but that you don’t feel motivated to do and spend five minutes working on each one -if you suddenly feel like keeping going, do so.
