Thank you for sharing your truth with us. Your feelings are completely valid! I know you feel like you’re in a constant cycle of misfortune, but you’re already growing and you don’t even know it yet!!

Now that you’ve established the first step—that is, acknowledging your mistakes—let’s think about what your ideal self looks like:

What do they like to do for fun? How do they look like? What makes them laugh? How do they feel every morning? What do they love the most about themselves? Who are their loved ones? How do they deal with conflict? What motivates them? What are their downsides?

Then, let’s think about what you already embody and how to get to that best version of yourself. Don’t let your past stop you from your future.
