  • Play is a good one for aerobics. Going for a run or bike? Try to find new routes or go places you haven’t before. Maybe run an errand. Maybe try to study wildlife or plants around while running one to another.

    For strength training IDK. just pop in some absurd music and know that later it will feel good either just post exercise or weeks later when the exercise itself feels nice. It’s also going to be nice when you go to lift a thing or hike and recognize you’re actually stronger. Always a rewarding feeling!

    In either case, it’s important to reflect positively on your progress. "Hell yeah i can do this thing now thanks to my effort!“ and not negatively e.g. “my goals are so far away I’m so weak”.

    I was experiencing moderate executive dysfunction from extreme anxiety last year. I started drawing but maybe did a small doodle at a time(<15min). I just kept the sketchbook and supplies in the one special place i kept clear of my chaotic clutter(even if that just meant pushing stuff around the desk). I think i picked it up once a week on average. A year on and I’ve done about a hundred sketches. I guess i decided that out of everything in life, that’s what i valued putting miserable little bits of energy into.

    Don’t know if that’s possible for you but every time you pick up that hobby you get a little better at it and that skill is never lost. So you know… Progress is progress ig.
