🌞 A Little Motivation 🌻

For a long time, I didn't care about my own life, and I was furious about it. 😠

I felt like other people got lucky and found their place; if only I had been able to talk to that girl or join a club, maybe life would be different. 🙃

My dream was to restart as a different person – skinnier and less miserable. 😒

But I kept forcing myself to get up every dark day. 🌥

I tried hard to form habits that I knew were good ones.
⏰ Wake up at the same time every MORNING.
👄 Brush your teeth.
🚿 Bathe and put on fresh clothes.
💪 Do some exercise; start with one sit-up or a squat.
🧠 Take care of your most important muscle. Do a puzzle or play an engaging game. Chat with family and friends, about anything!

I looked for valuable ways to spend my time! 🕑

Not valuable to others, or valuable for money. 💸

I found things that made me feel productive.

For me, it was splitting firewood each morning in the Winter. ❄

After that, I found that I enjoyed doing chores around the house while listening to audiobooks or music. 🎧

My family appreciated the help, and I didn't even see it as chores! 😃

Do you know what I found? 🤔

Things that once made me anxious, ◾ 😰

They weren't so big anymore. ▪ 😮

My friends and family knew I could be depended on. 👩‍❤️‍👩

More importantly, I knew I could be depended on. ✊

I knew I was valuable, that I had things to offer the world. I knew I did, in fact, care about my life. 🤗

I believe the most important thing is to be able to value and love yourself.

Everything else comes naturally. 🏞

When you get up every day caring about your life, 🌞

You have the motivation to do the exercise to lose that weight. 🏋

Not because you need to change, but because it will feel good. For YOU! ☝

You care what others think of you, not in an unhealthy way, but because they might see something that you don't.

It's no longer a competition or a fight to me. 💢

We are all trying to do our best, going through struggles as I was and am. 😔

Understand that we are all fighting for the same things. We want to be happy. 🙂

Life is beautiful and valuable. ☮

Keep moving forward. ⏩

I hope you'll see the beauty too, one day. 🌻
