First make a list of 3 - 5 actions you would like to do in the next week or so. Encourage yourself by making the list items easy. Be creative, be silly and don't think big--think small. For example:
The trick to this list is that you pause after you've checked off a list item and allow yourself to feel good about your accomplishment, even though it may have been a small thing. Don't make any task trite or demean yourself ever. Demeaning freezes one emotionally and causes inaction and procrastination.
You do not need to feel like doing what is on the list. As long as you begin, do one task, complete it and feel satisfied, you are changing an unconscious pattern. As you continue you will notice that when you change your focus and follow with action your emotional state begins to change as well. Here, with a very simple technique, you are recreating the cycle of thought connecting to action.
