>>801615>>806620Not a psychologist but my recommendation would be to not look at it as negative if you do not go /out/ as you wanted or planned to. Obviously not sticking to plans is less than ideal, but everyone has to start somewhere. It definitely is better motivation if you make plans with others so you cannot cancel as easily, but most of my /out/doors is by myself because everyone else I know is lazy and wants to play Overwatch/watch Game of Thrones.
I often load video games up to the menu/title screen and have that loaded for hours before eventually closing and shutting computer down. It's not even that the games are not fun, I feel they are distracting me from doing other things that can better my life long term.
I understand all too well being too anxious to go to bed at a proper time to allow waking up and taking hold of the day as I planned X days/weeks/months in advance. Sometimes I wake up on time but am not feeling it, therefore a day goes "wasted".
The problem for myself (and is still not 100% resolved) is when you view these days as "wasted" time. You do not need to be /out/doors to enjoy your life. You need to appreciate anything you do and build up from there.
Other days I wake up far later than planned (IE plan to wake up at 8am~ for whole day for kayaking but end up waking 3pm~. Now there are only 3~ hours of light and it would take 1 hour+ to get car loaded and get to destination then 30 minutes once there to get in water then another 30-1 hour to get packed so I can drive back. This is an example for kayaking but really any /out/door activity I plan works the same way, even as simple as biking, sanding and finishing my axe handle, waterproof some gear, or even fishing a water source that is maybe a 10 minute walk from my house.
