Trying To Stretch, Not Push, Myself

So both my T and Psychiatrist want me to start "stretching" myself, not "pushing", to be more active and involved especially now that I ve been on my meds for a while now and have developed various tools and awareness. This is such a new concept for me I m having problems with it. I m so used to pushing myself and that s what got me in this mess to begin with. They say the more I stretch and am successful at it, the more self-confidence I can build. Has anyone else been asked to do something... Trying To Stretch, Not Push, Myself
