Don't skip, unless it's the type you do while enjoying a beautiful day. It doesn't matter what your excuse is, don't skip. I have a lot of obstacles in my life, but less excuses. Try to not let your obstacles be your excuse. This is called powering through, being courageous, showing bravado.
Don't listen to the news! The world is going to do whatever it does. You cannot change that, and you aren't called to change it or control it. If you make an excuse, or skip something, or fail at something don't sit around feeling guilty about it. Apologize to yourself about it (mean it) and then continue the rest of your day without those obnoxious leaches around.
If you are going through a difficult time in your life, climb out of it by taking small steps and noticing when you are doing these things. Don't overwhelm yourself and try to do everything at once, just teach yourself to attack these areas specifically.
Get back to something small you love to do. For me it was Baseball. Baseball season couldn't have started at a better time. I am nursing a sprained ankle (and unhealthy body) back to health and hope to start playing again mid-season, but watching it and being involved in it helps motivate me and keep me preoccupied with better things than beating myself up.
Remember only skip in the rain, never use guilt on anyone including yourself, and failure happens, deal with it, it's the best teacher there is!
