How do you motivate yourself -feeling bad ??

[Horseback Rider]

I have had visitors for the last 2 weeks and then got flu then my horse got kicked in the field and went lame.

He is now sound but I haven't ridden him since last Wednesday when I realise he was lame he was sound again on Sunday, but I still haven't ridden him.

I just feel completely knackered it took all my energy tonight just to walk the dog and now I feel really guilty for not riding ?

Does anyone else have days/weeks like this ? how do you give yourself a kick up the bum ??

Everyone has days like this!
I feel like the more days she has off, the more of a cow she's going to be when I do eventually get back on! (I guess that's catch-22 since that's the reason why I sometimes avoid it!) anyway, you know when you're back in the saddle you'll feel better (usually anyway ) and it'll inspire you to carry on tomorrow, and the next day etc till you're back to normal

Completely agree everyone has days like this but just feel have to get on and do it.

Find it's a bit like going to the gym sometimes you really don't want to and have to force yourself to get there but once there and working then it seems like a really good idea!!!!
