Hopefully your hospital psychologist is helping you with your mental needs post-stroke. If not, you'll have to flail away on your own. Mine tried to convince me that my body failed me. She was completely wrong, my body and brain were what kept me alive thru the period I was listed in critical condition.

First, the main principle:
the mind wants comfort, and is afraid of discomfort and change. The mind is used to its comfort cocoon, and anytime we try to push
beyond that comfort zone very
far or for very long, the mind tries desperately to get back into the
cocoon. At any cost, including our long-term health and happiness.
OK, with that in mind, let’s go into the excuses:
1. I can’t do it.
2. He/she can do it, but that doesn’t apply to me.
3. I need my ___.
4. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
5. I need comfort.
6. I don’t know how.
7. I can do it later.
8. One time won’t hurt.
9. I don’t feel like it.
10. I’m tired.
11. I deserve a reward/break.
12. Wouldn’t it be nice to stop?
13. The result you’re going for isn’t important.
14. I’m afraid.
