Fellow retirees, do you sometimes have difficulty motivating yourself [View all]

Fellow retirees, do you sometimes have difficulty motivating yourself to get out of the house?

I can motivate myself to go to some 12 step groups I belong to. (Unless they’re late at night, which for me is after seven and it’s hard to get myself to go to those.)

It’s not hard to do things I have to do, such as doctor’s appointment. But things like going to the gym, or sometimes things that might be fun, such as going to the Senior Center to be in some activity… Sometimes it’s so easy to talk myself out of it. It’s so much easier to sit here on the couch and get on DU ( I have no problems motivating myself to get on DU. Look at my recent post on this forum. )

Any ideas that work for you about how to motivate oneself?
