Rational me versus irrational me.

You are going to get up and go for a nice long walk.

No I'm not. I cant be bothered.

You need to be bothered. It'll make you feel better.

What's the point?

When you feel better, you get things done. That makes you feel even more better.

Then I'll crash and feel shit again.

Ok well let's take it a step at a time.  Get up and make a cuppa.

Ok. 

</goes and makes cup of tea then remembers about it when it's gone cold>

What's the point?

But you got up and made it. You did something. What about breakfast?

Can't be bothered to make any.

There's always cold chow mein in the fridge.  That's better than nothing.

Ok.

Now how about a shower?

That really is too much effort right now.

Ok, that's fine, you can have one after your walk. Look your breakfast has given you enough energy to get dressed. Well done.  Now about that walk. Wouldn't it be good to have a long walk like you used to do. The Beeches perhaps or to the river?

It's raining.

Yes and now it's stopped raining.

It'll probably rain again in a minute.

It may well do. But being out in the rain doesn't normally worry you. 

Everyone is out having fun at Pub in the Park or Rock the Moor.  Who's going to care that I've had a walk?

You will. That's all that matters.

But I want to stay here and watch mindless videos on YouTube.

You can do that after your walk.

I should stay in and do some writing. You always say that makes me feel better.

Again, you can do that after your walk.

</eventually get out and walk less than a mile round the block>

That was pitiful.

But you got out and did it. It's all about the little wins. Celebrate that.
