How to get initiative.?

Some people are just born with a lack of initiative. They are compatible with controlling and mothering types.

If depression has stolen your initiative, then get treatment for the depression. If you are already getting treatment, it's not working, tell your doctor and get your meds changed.

I ask God for help in the morning and I thank Him at night. It's the best preventative medicine and recovery technique I could ever pass on.

Sometimes I have to make a list, I just do one little thing at a time, then get to the next thing.. Some days in depression, I really don't accomplish much at all, I count it good if I get up out of bed and get dressed. Other days, I feel good that I could cross off a couple things.

I know that if I keep doing the next right thing, I will slowly pull out of it, and I always have.
