The most useful advice I ever received came from my dad when I went away to college.
“When you are feeling lonely, sad, overwhelmed or unmotivated, just put on your sneakers.
You don’t have to put pressure on what you do next,” he told me.
“But once your shoes are on, you might find yourself at the gym, on a walk to see friends or doing the laundry that’s been piling up.”
It almost always works. Putting on my shoes pushes me out of a slump and removes a barrier between me and action I know will help me feel better.
It turns out my dad is right, said Dr. Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Weston, Connecticut.
“There’s actually research on the relationship between getting dressed and becoming more motivated,” she said. (CNN)
