I'm horrible at getting motivated, but I've been working on finding ways to motivate myself that aren't destructive, and can be long-term. Meditating is awesome, and spending time reading others stories definitely encourages me.
I really enjoyed reading your post. I can definitely relate to some of it, and it was super interesting. Thank you for sharing. :D
That's it, and mix it in with a bit of good old fashion action, and you can't go wrong! :-D
