How to care for yourself when you’re anxious and have no motivation

#590: As May is mental health awareness month, we’re going to be talking about understanding mental health and where to find support. Many of this month’s episodes are in response to questions about mental health from our private Facebook group. Here’s our second question: “How to summon up the motivation to help yourself, or practice self-care when you are so low or anxious you don’t feel like doing anything. What the best first steps might be and how to talk yourself into doing them.”   Today’s Anxiety Slayer podcast is sponsored by Betterhelp    BetterHelp wants to remind you that you matter just as much as everyone else does, and therapy is a great way to make sure you show up for yourself.      BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist, so you don’t have to see anyone on camera if you don’t want to.  It’s much more affordable than in-person therapy and you can be matched with a therapist in under 48 hours.    Give it a try and see why over 2 million people have used BetterHelp online therapy.    Special offer for Anxiety Slayer listeners, get 10% off your first month at http://betterhelp.com/slayer
