Start small. Try to do one thing on your list a day. Set a timer for 30/10/5 minutes whatever you can handle and work towards it. Five minutes a day, one small task a day, is better than setting life changing goals but never working on them. So many people get caught up on all or nothing. Five minutes of cleaning your room is better than setting a goal of cleaning the whole thing but being too overwhelmed to start. A five minute walk is better than saying you’ll go to the gym four days a week and going never. Over time you can go from five to ten to an hour. It gets easier. If five minutes is too much, set the timer and see how far you get. Be kind to yourself if you don’t make it. Anything is better than zero, that’s still an accomplishment.

I’m recovering from cancer and it has destroyed me mentally and physically. Using a timer for five, ten minutes has been the only way I’ve been able to start getting back in track. Even if I can’t make it five minutes, I tried. But more often lately I can get to five minute, and then keep going. Start small.

Social media makes it a lot harder with how easy it is to see someone’s life, but everyone needs to realized they don’t want anyone to see the bad. Only compare to yourself and realize that in the end none of it matters. Just live your life.

If everyday is a good day in your mind , no day is a 'good' day. Feel all the emotions of the day , but just don't let it go out of hand. This mind control 'feel good , good attitude' sounds good , but leads to total apathy after a while , I am speaking from experience .

Reply to [Story] I feel like all hope is lost for me by Drblackcobra

You know what's great about failure? If you have the right mindset you can take each failure and turn it into small successes. You can't be so hard on yourself, but you can also take each failure as a lesson on how to improve.

None of your peers built the dreams they had in a day either. They have their own stories behind them with a series of failures and challenges you never got to see. So don't count yourself out yet. Just focus on the step in front of you, and don't obssess over the people running beside you.

If you're always looking at the people behind you (the past) or the people beside you (the present) who is driving you forward? (Your future.)
