Here's a trick that teachers and trainers use to set the mood for success:
Set yourself a short, easily completed task that you know you can be successful at. Do that one thing as a springboard for more difficult tasks.
The experience of a "quick win" will energize you and help you feel more capable of tackling more daunting projects.
If you're a person who has trouble seeing the next step when things are already going in the wrong direction, make yourself a list now of easy tasks you can tackle later. It can be anything from emptying the dishwasher to calling to make an appointment you've been meaning to schedule.
If you really need some mo, do two or three quick wins in a row, but don't let this become a thing in and of itself. Eventually, you're going to have to move on to that thing you've been avoiding.
You're a smart, capable person, and you can do it. I know you can!
