The best way out is always through, no matter how hard it may be some times. We just got to persevere and try our best.
2. Tell us about a challenge you overcame recently!
Just trying to get some bills payed off and I do not make much but even if chizzling at it one week at a time is what I can do, it's what I'll do. A step is a step no matter how small or big of a step it is. :)
3. How do you plan to take care of yourself this month?
Not forgetting that even when helping others, it's okay to try and breathe and focus on things I need to do as well. And sometimes trying to say to myself in the mirror that I am 'enough' is good in itself.

Finding motivation to do my homework. (I have so much homework that it's hard to know where to start.)
3. How do you plan to take care of yourself this month?
By listening to music to de-stress and relax.
@YourLittleFriend All of these sound awesome! I hope you do find time for yourself to relax! : )
@YourLittleFriend, it's funny how our answer to the last question were pretty much the same!😂
@YourLittleFriend
Motivation to do homework is hard at times. I was struggling with it even after completing elementary school, highschool, univeristy and a masters. It is still a challenge when you cross paths with those boring subjects. My friend helped to remind me of a great way to motivate myself. In summary she said:
1) remember why you are doing this.
2) how good you will feel when you are done and never ever have to study and look at the material again. :)
3) consequences (e.g prologing the agony by having to redo this again). Although failing does have it's good points. You start, already knowing about half the material, the second time is usually easier, plus you have an idea of what may be on the test the next time around having seen one version of the test already.
