You outline such a nice wellness recovery plan! Depression is so tough because making oneself do just one thing can seem insurmountable. How do you encourage yourself to get yourself moving?

The first step is always the hardest with anything, as they say.
Once you acknowledge you need a change, it becomes easier to make that first step. Remind yourself of how much better things will be after making that change, remind yourself of what you envision your ideal life looking like, and start doing the things that support this.
Just move! Get off your ass and exercise. Change your physical state and you will have a much easier time with your mind :)
You need a strong reason and do force yourself to do something even if you don't feel like it, even if its just standing outside your front door for some fresh air.
