Getting from point A to point B

Doing errands isn't that difficult, right? That might be true if you don't have a form of social anxiety that imprisons you in your own home. Imagining yourself where you're supposed to go might even be too difficult. The small steps, like getting on your feet, are enough to stop you. I've received a strategy which might seem a bit corny at first but it works. My oldest siste taught me this one, so credit is all hers.

What it all comes down to is to not take a bigger bite than you can chew. Dissecting a task that seems overwhelming at first, will be easier to overcome if you take it step by step. For example, when you get up from wherever you sit you might as well go to the closet and get dressed. It's not dangerous plus there is always a chance to stop. But you won't, I know. I had to laugh when I learned this. So, you're dressed. In my case, I'd have to go to the bus. Why not, I'm ready to go after all? You might wait a few minutes at the bus stop for the bus to arrive. I'm guessing you'll step onboard when it shows. If this seems too difficult, there is always the chance of dividing up the segments into smaller pieces. My own experiences are that you'll have a bigger chance of succeding, rather than just saying it's impossible and not even try. Celebrate every effort. We're all different and some need a bit more time. Even if you feel that you need to turn back home again, don't be hard on yourself filing it as a failure. Mark it as a victory because you tried.
