Just being grateful for being alive. Going for walks through the trees in Autumn, feeling the sun on your face in Spring urging the flowers to wake up. Seeing kids playing in the park. Cold dark Winter nights that tell me Xmas is coming. Over all of that my children and my grandson and family.
Whether it was big or small, I was always able to get what I needed in life after praying and wishing for it at the right time. Appreciative of all the miracles that bring joy.
Focus on what makes your heart beat faster. Is there anything that interests you in the slightest? From the past even? I am glad you realize you must change something to change your life and your mood. May I recommend to you a free online forum? It is called Wondermind. You choose articles based upon how you feel.

What brings me joy? Hiking. Sketching. Painting. Writing. Horseback riding. Spending time with my friends in my area. Cooking. Baking. Singing. Dancing. Helping others. Giving advice. Writing letters to those I love. I try new experiences as much as I can. This means that I continue to learn and to grow in my life.
@PoetryNEmotion I'm just trying to fix my life. Study. Exercise. Try to lose weight. Cut off the toxic people in life. I'm trying to find reasons to get past. It's just hard given how my life is. But it is what it is. I'm just trying and that's all I can do.
But thank you too.
That sounds very positive tbh. How you elaborated about helping others and learning in the process. I like it. I'd definitely would love to try baking some day.
@Beatbox34 Sounds like you are making progress. I applaud you. Far easier to complain than to do different. Each of us struggle. Do you realize that? Some make that the story of their life. That is sad. That is a choice. Helping othrrs makes one focus on domrone else. Then one can see one's problems are not the world. Just a smsll part of it. Try Wondermind. A solid forum. It works. Try baking now. Google a recipe. Try it. You may be surprised how fun it is. Learning is a positive action. You got this.
progress. big or small wins, it doesn't matter. a win is a win. moving forward and moving up is the goal. it's not perfect (yet) but I'm getting there. that's what brings me happiness.
