It’s an old saying but tomorrow when you wake up tell yourself today is the first day of the rest of your life. Make a list of stuff you want to accomplish or need to get done. Have things on the list that are easy - make your bed, go grocery shopping, etc. Check stuff off as you go. Each accomplishment will give you the confidence and incentive to go further.

Meanwhile, step back and evaluate what you eat, how much you sleep, and how much you exercise. That’s the holy trinity and 100% within your control. For me, I have to break a sweat every day - doesn’t matter how - or else it starts to affect my mental health. What’s your diet? Make sure you’re having healthy, balanced meals. My go-to in the morning are fruit smoothies with protein. East to make and gives you plenty of energy. Cut out the crappy stuff. Eating well is not one big choice, it’s the accumulation of a thousand small choices. Finally, how many hours of sleep do you get per night? Are you always up late reading your phone? Put the phone away and use a Kindle or an actual book. Get plenty of rest. All of these things will prepare you mentally and physically and all of them are things you have full control over.

A few months of accomplishing tasks, eating well, sleeping well, and exercise, your head will be clearer and you’ll have a growth mindset. Whatever that next step is, take it. You’re plenty young enough to start tomorrow and some day you’ll look back on your old posts and wonder who TF that person was.
