Yep! In order to function, I had to set very basic goals I wanted to accomplish every day. I had 4 areas to accomplish, in whatever way I wanted for the day, no matter how big or how small I did some thing:
1.) for my finances - it could be as simple as making $1 on FC, posting a personal item to sell, etc
2.) for my house- on a good day, I would clean out a drawer or clean the freezer, on a not so good day, it could be washing all the dishes
3.) for my child- I wanted to make a conscious effort to spend time doing something fun with my toddler. At a time when life is hard, I always want him to know there is room for happiness and smiles
4.) for myself- it could be anything from a 10 minute nap, watching a show I wanted to, reading a book, exercising, painting my nails... whatever!
These items were small enough, but I could make them big enough to accomplish more if I felt up to it. I never out any pressure on myself to do more than these 4 things until I felt a little better. I hope it helps and you feel better soon! Life is hard, but every day, there was a best part of the day! (My son and I say our favorite part of the day every night at prayers. It is unbelievable that there is always something that was a favorite, even if it was that it is over until tomorrow!)
