In my past struggles, the right medications, forcing myself to exercise, and giving myself goals like maintaining/reaching a healthy weight or working on my writing all helped. I used to try to look for small "easy wins" that I could use to make myself feel a little better.

Did the dishes? Win. Went for a jog today? Win. Got dressed and left the house? Win. Shaved and showered? Win. Little achievable things like that so I could tell myself that at least I'd accomplished something for the day.

Sometimes you feel like your head is a checklist of so many things you need to do before you can relax, can be overwhelming.

Sometimes you are so overwhelmed by it that it becomes hard to do anything at all, hello autism i guess :p

Yeah I'm very familiar with that feeling. By now I have mostly trained myself to feel like I've earn the right to relax for a bit if I just tick one thing off my list. I try to break things down into more easily achievable chunks and rest in between each step.
