When you’re feeling low, even the smallest tasks can feel heavy. The temptation is to wait until motivation arrives — but in reality, action often comes before motivation.
Treating low mood isn’t about forcing yourself to feel happy. It’s about building momentum through gentle, doable steps that reconnect you with the things that give life meaning. That might be getting out into sunlight, moving your body, talking to a friend, or engaging in activities you once enjoyed (even if they feel flat at first).
Each step is like a vote for the version of you that’s still here, still trying, still capable of change. Over time, these small actions start to lift the heaviness, helping you rebuild energy, connection, and hope.
You don’t have to leap. You just have to start.
