Get Up and Shine: Embracing Your Purpose and Making a Positive Impact on the World

Laying in bed for days on end can be very emotionally comforting but...it can also be mentally draining speaking from past experiences. I know that it is hard to get up as if nothing is wrong and just go about with your day as if you never had any mental health struggles but remember, you have a place in this world just like an actor has a role you have a role in life so if you are missing how will the world function with a person missing from the cast? 

In the past when I struggled most with my Mental Health I would sleep all day and not even wake up to eat. I would just sleep, but when I was awake I would be on my phone looking at social media and comparing the lives of others to mine, which made everything worse. When I ate, I would only have an appetite for junk food such as chocolate and chips. But as you can see from the beginning of the paragraph I wrote: "in the past." So let's talk about right now. 

Now when it comes to having the feeling like I don't want to wake up... I push myself. Mainly because I know what thought process not waking up leads to. So I make sure that I never let myself doze off into the abyss. I also have a tip for you if you struggle with this. Open your notes app and make a folder designated for your Mental Health. Then make a note in that folder and in the note you will write a letter to yourself with motivational words telling you to get up and do something and to not stay in bed and cry or listen to sad music. Write as many positive things in that letter as possible then when the time comes which I hope it never does and you need that letter, open up the notes app and read it. Pretend like it's you talking to yourself and get up and do something!!

If you actually use my tip I would love to know how it went so comment and let me know! And don't forget to follow me so you can be notified when I post. :)
