Don’t want to do anything?

• Set a goal up. This can be used as a guide to help you accomplish things and do the things that you want to.

• Plan out a schedule for your days. Do the things you need to do and have a routine. Eventually, it will become normal for you and you will accomplish more than you think.

• Talk to friends and family. Sometimes you may need to just have a social interaction and you’ll feel better. You’ll also be able to express what’s on your mind and possibly receive help to help guide you through your conflicts.

• Entertain yourself. Sometimes you need to focus on yourself and get your mind off of your responsibilities. It’s okay to take breaks sometimes, but you must also remember that life goes on, and time is of the essence. Take the time you need, but don’t forget to take care of the things you need to do.
