Confucius reminds us, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Life will always be a work in process. No matter how frustrating your life may be right now, beating yourself up with negative chatter will not help.

What will help? Have you talked to a psychiatrist about your medications? What has helped you cope in the past? What do you need to work on to have a better life?

Asking myself these questions on a regular basis has helped me:

1. What am I thankful for today?
2. What did I learn today?
3. Where did I do a good job?
4. Who was I valuable to today?
5. How did I take care of myself today?

Good luck!
