How To Take Action
To make your life better, I'd suggest starting with small steps that don't need lots of money or time. Here's a simple plan you can follow:
Set Clear Goals: Think about what you really want in your future. Write these goals down so you remember them.
Make Small Changes: Look at your usual day and find little things you can do differently to help reach your goals. This could be waking up a bit earlier or eating healthier snacks.
Find Discipline: Staying on track isn't always easy, but it's important. Try to do the things that help you reach your goals every day, even if they're not fun right then.
Think Long Term: Remember, things that feel good now might not be what's best for your future. Choose actions that might be harder now but will make life better later.
Stop Escaping: If you're doing something just to get away from your life, ask yourself why. Is there something you can change so that you don't feel like you need to escape?
Celebrate Small Wins: When you do something that's good for your future self, be proud! This helps you keep going.
By taking these steps, you'll be caring for yourself by building a life you don't need to run away from. Remember, it's about doing what's best for future you, not just what feels easy now.
