Start small. Don’t expect to leap out of bed full of energy when your heart is heavy. Instead, focus on one thing you can do today. A walk. A phone call. A shower. Even the smallest effort can be the spark that slowly lights your fire again.

Reframe your thoughts. Instead of thinking “Why me?”, try asking “What can I learn from this?” or “What strength is this building in me?” It’s not always about being happy - it’s about building resilience.

Connect with people who lift you up. We often isolate when we’re hurting, but that’s when we most need connection. Whether it’s a friend, a therapist, or even a stranger online, don’t be afraid to lean on others.

Motivation doesn’t mean constant energy - іt means having a reason to keep going. And sometimes, just knowing that better days will come is enough to take one more step forward.
