How to get started and staying motivated

 

Most people struggle with motivation, but it is even more challenging if you have mental health issues such as depression or anxiety. Here are some tips:

• Set yourself one specific, achievable goal.
• Think about how to include that goal in your life, what you need to do to make it happen. Then put a timeframe on it (such as one week or one month).
• Break your goal into small, easy tasks and set regular reminders to complete each step.
• Use your family and friends as support – tell them about your goals and encourage them to help keep you motivated.
