How to change your lifeđź’•

For most of my life, I used to wake up feeling lost.

Every day felt the same — I’d scroll my phone, complain about how tired I was, and promise myself that tomorrow I’d finally do better. But of course, tomorrow never came.

One night, I watched a short video where someone said:

“You don’t need to change everything. Just start with one habit that makes you proud of yourself.”

That line hit me hard. So I decided to start small — I began making my bed every morning.

It sounds silly, right? But that tiny action made me feel like I had control over my day.

After a week, I noticed something: I stopped hitting snooze. I started drinking water in the morning. Then I started journaling for 5 minutes. One small habit turned into another.

I realized something powerful:

Change doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from momentum.

Now, my life isn’t perfect — but it’s mine. I feel proud of the person I’m becoming, all because I started with one simple habit.

If you’re reading this and you feel stuck, remember:

Don’t wait for the right moment. Create it.

Start small, stay consistent, and your life will start changing before you even notice
