Remember it's ok to live for little things, like watering your plants, feeding your dog, making dinner for a partner, eating donuts, sitting in the sunlight, etc. Nothing is ever too small to enjoy.

I used to roll slowly and carefully off the bed. I wouldn't want to be on the floor, so I'd get up. Some days, that was too much, so I tried getting some of me off the bed- ie a leg and an arm. Just to show myself "it's okay". Find something that you need to get up for- the bathroom, a glass of water, a charger for your phone, earbuds,etc. It's okay if you stand for 30 seconds and say "I'm over this" and lay back down, because it is 30 seconds more than before.

I usually have something I look forward to during the day. Like if you have plans with your best friend. Then it dose make it a little easier. Or reward for small things like getting out of bed will get me something I enjoy as a treat like food, or nice hot shower, something that you look forward to even with small rewards in the process make it easier as well.
