The problem with anxiety or depression, is that it drains your energy, making every single task, no matter how big or small, seem like a monumental effort. To move past that draining fatigue and take that first step, you can put on your workout clothes or find the dog's leash to go for a walk. Keep it simple and doable and it will make it easier to get started.
Set simple goals. It doesn't take much exercise to lift your mood, so you don't have to train for a marathon. Set a goal to walk around the block. Go around just once the first day, then maybe twice the next day. The next day, do more. Try to improve just a little each day.

Go easy on yourself, especially if you are not able to handle a lot of exercise, just feel good about what you CAN do. Working in the yard, taking the dog for a walk or go up and down the stairs a few times, it all counts.
Do what you enjoy. When you're anxious or depressed, it's hard to enjoy anything, but think about what you like when you're not having those feelings of being out of control. If yoga feels good, spend a few minutes going through some simple poses. If you like fresh air, go for a walk or an easy bike ride. Even if you don't enjoy it in the moment, small changes in activity can make a difference in your mood.
Make it social. Find a friend or family member to walk with. Talking to people can help raise your energy and remind you that you're not alone. They can also help give you the incentive to get up and go out.
Go outside. Just a little sunshine can help boost your mood and keep you in touch with the world out there. Participate in it as much as you can handle.Work with your doctor. Be sure to talk to your doctor about treatment options and your plans to exercise.
