Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game?

Tell yourself "3 2 1 Go!" And do it.

It's fine if you need to try a couple times. Or if you need to rock yourself to a new position and time it with Go.

Sometimes I like to hype myself up and do a really loud pep talking coach type voice in my head for this.

Also very high energy affirming stuff. ‘I am here! This is my body! I choose when and how to use it!’

Yeah, it’s silly, but if it works it works.
