Sit for a defined amount of time each day. So, I'd set an alarm (possibly just 10-15min for starters) and just sit. No distractions. I'm in a state right now where I know this would already bring up emotions, feeling extremely uncomfortable etc. But don't try to force anything. Just sit, maybe close your eyes, and every time you start obsessing gently tell yourself that this isn't the time. Let it go. But it's important to understand that this doesn't mean you suppress anything. Quite the opposite. Let it all come out, then let it pass.

Shit, I have the theory down 100% yet here I am faffing around on social media again.

Maybe doing all this at a specified time during my day would help.
