What's some good motivation that you tell yourself that helps you?

Question

What helps you get things done? Or do something? Is it affirming to yourself? If so, how do you do it or say to yourself? By doing what you do, has it helped you become less hesitant in doing things?

I tell myself that whatever's tough is worth it because I only live once, and I'm 100% in control of the direction of my destiny. Choices become unconscious after that.

Another motivation was quitting antidepressants. I felt things more keenly, especially a need to find a sense of responsibility. I'm still working on it, but I'd say I'm better off now than I was by far. I feel things better. And I'm not unhappy... I have a better hold of what needs done and what I have to do and a better idea of how to navigate relationships. Hope there's an answer to your question somewhere in that mini ramble!

That's great to hear! Usually, when I'm trying to do something tough I'll hesitate. I think it's because of the image I'll put out to myself. But, as you said, you live once. I try to tell myself, "I can do this," but sometimes I'll let myself be the limit and let the self-conscious cave in.

Don't worry, what you said isn't ramble!

That others depend on me. That as helpless as I've felt in my most painful moments, the person I'm working to help out, the person I'm trying to aid is set up for far more pain that I had should I fail in my pursuits
