A little trick I use that may benefit someone: Every time I have to do something I don’t want to like work school or chores, I used to groan and complain, now I simply say these three words in my head whenever I’m tasked with something, “Bring it on”

Self-love is of discipline.

Amor Fati "it happened for you not to you" and memento mori "you never know when you could die so give everything when you do something" these keep me motivated, disciplined and grateful

The productivity culture makes us care so much about the result, that we forget to enjoy the process. The Forwago helped me to keep improving myself and achieving my goals while still enjoying the process, and I am so grateful because of that.

'A bad day is not a bad week. Everyday is different.' If you supress and ignore your problems, everyday might be the same with your mindset nothing will change. Thats what i experienced
