Motivation

Naming values that matter during anxious moments involves identifying and connecting with your core beliefs about what's meaningful and important, particularly when anxiety threatens to derail purposeful action with 10-15 minutes of focused reflection.

Scheduling one meaningful activity involves intentionally selecting and dedicating specific time to engage in activities that bring personal satisfaction, enjoyment, or a sense of accomplishment. It effectively combats feelings of low motivation, reduces rumination, and boosts emotional resilience through proactive action.

Mini dopamine boosts (the joy list exercise) involve identifying and engaging in small, accessible activities or tasks that reliably elevate mood and motivation. This exercise helps individuals actively combat anxiety, depression, and low motivation through brief, intentional actions that stimulate positive emotions.
