Surround yourself with things that give you energy and motivate you.

Don't expect perfection when you are just beginning.

When you're overwhelmed,  feel like a failure or paralyzed by fear, it's important to pause and take a deep breath.

Take some time to consider where these negative thoughts come from and confront them. 

It's easier to work through negative thoughts if your day is planned and you don't have to think about how to start your day. 

At first, it will be difficult. The negative voices and thoughts will want to creep in the way they always have, and it will be tempting to let them have their say, but choose to confront them, and create a counter-narrative that's on hand in your head.
