Just been really struggling with some things and not really wanting to do anything which includes my daily Bible reading and even praying 🙏 I got stuck 🙁 and the sadness and pain took over me but once i surrendered to the Lord and took back my faith in fight I feel a little better because God is bigger than my pain, problem and suffering and if there’s any Hope at all it’ll be by his grace and might not mine.

I always have but never knew a name for it until more recently.
I do microsteps with my house work. I purposely keep ads on my streaming services. When I am frozen on the couch and mindlessly watching a show, I have trained myself to not just sit through ads. I call it, “Commercial Clean-ups.” Basically, i know that I will only have to do something for the duration of the ad. That often leads to me noticing how much I have done and breaking the freeze cycle.
