Self Help Thread.
Let's talk a little bit about the idea of self help. We all need help once in awhile, but in the end the only person who can really help us invite ourselves, because we have to be willing to take the help and the advice that others offer to us.
This requires self-initiative, and self-discipline. In other words we have to motivate ourselves to act on the advice given, and then we have to have the self-discipline in order to stick to it.
So let me ask you, what helps you to stay motivated, and what helps to give you the self-discipline to stick with whatever it is you're striving toward?

What motivates me? People who love and care about me. And I guess I motivate myself anyway by inspirational speech such as "Marija, you can die like right now and just do something good and whatever you want."
I have got a struggle with studies I don't really enjoy. So when I'm studying I can feel depressed because:
1°)living in a little appartement and being in there a lot for the studies
2°)eating shit to be ok with my budget
3°) Having some medicines which made me feel indirectly bad.
4°)Studying something I don't like
I guess what kept me forward is the fact that even when I wanted to give up I didn't. To do some self help I also buy some stuffs, it always cheered me up. (as long as you don't buy stuffs everyday, it can help)
Back in school when I had to do things I didn't like, like writing composition on some angsty novel, I played a game. A game where I pose myself like a girl who thinks too much about her writing skills and also the importance of expressing herself to the world. Then I looked so funny to myself that it got easier
