When people want to make changes towards better health ( both mental and physical) they fell they have to do big tasks and changes to get there and feel overwhelmed. Think about taking one tiny step every single day, may be drinking more water, spending 5 minutes in mindful meditation, 10 minutes of exercise... give your body and mind a chance and do it slowly but surely.
