HOW TO FIND PRODUCTIVITY 

Everyone at some point in their lives must've hit "rock bottom" or they have been emotionally in a place where it is hard to come out of without a helping hand but just could not find the strength to do it. And it hard at times to self-loathe one's existence instead of taking a walk in the sun.

But guess what, life is no Disney movie, everyone reaches that point where it is easy to give up, but instead of drowning in your own brain, you could make a difference and change things your way. It is only a matter fone good things. One good habit that makes you believe in yourself that your tomorrow can be good. And tomorrow starts with today and it starts with now, this very moment. Just stop for a minute, and close your eyes and stop thinking. 
Go outside of whatever self-isolating crevice you are sitting in, it could also be your mind, and think of but one thing, ie, the magnificence of the universe, think about how you exist on one planet that supports life just about close to the sun so it is warm enough and just about far away that it is not toasted and with the conditions in the favor that life is allowed to exist. 
Think about how evolution allowed your ancestors to survive so you could live to see this day. You are the progeny of hundreds of thousands of years of struggle and victory, think about all the sacrifices that have been made to ensure your existence. Next time, you feel a bit low. You think about it. Enough philosophical approach.

THE FIRST STEP

The thing that matters most is the first step, you just have to take that step, make your bed. water your plants. walk your pet, take responsibility for your precious time and life. It is worth far more than what anyone in the past might have told you. The first step could also be that, stop listening to negatives, they only bring sorrow and later, regret. 

Do something, anything, just begin with something, movies or books, or be physically active. If you cannot get up early in the morning then do it when you wake up. If you find what helps you focus or lighten your mood or something you are passionate about, hold on to it, as it is your foundation, it is the core of your personality, how you perform at that hobby is what you are in your approach.

 For example, if your hobby is to draw or paint, how you make that outline with the best possible precision and what you do when you make a mistake, how you deal with it if you panic or not if you do not, that shows your confidence, how you respect your resources and how you utilize them. That is the kind of person you are, your confidence, your attention to detail,   your respect for your task, and your integrity to it. That is the person you are in life. And you deserve your own respect and love. 

YOU FOR YOURSELF

People who hang out or associate with others forget or undermine themselves. That dependence is the doom of one's own memory of themselves. Stepping out of someone's shadow after you have stood in it for a long time can be difficult in the beginning, and it could be anyone that might have supported you for a long time, a friend, parents, siblings, a person of status more superior than you, but once you do so, you will hurt no one, you will only make them realize your worth and they will be proud of you for that. It is a journey to identify oneself, an interesting one at that. It can be punishing to deny yourself your own redemption.

So, even if someone is a part of your life, or has been for a long time. When you choose to do something or want something for yourself and you know is good for your personal growth. Do not listen to naysayers. Do it, without hesitation. Do it regardless of other people's feelings, not that you should hurt them in the process, do not do that. Be a protagonist in your story, take risks, achieve goals, but never become an antagonist in someone else's story.

DO NOT FEAR CHANGE

Change is a necessity to what you want to become, it is the foundation of your true potential. It may scare you to see the life around you moving too fast, getting used to it takes time, but in the end, it is always better to live a life full of changes rather than to live a life full of regrets of having done nothing. Embrace the change, learn to do so, it is the way of the everchanging world. Every day your old cells die and new cells take their place if they feared dying you would have cancer. Change is good, as long as it leads you somewhere. No one can stop it, so might as well go with it.

Fear is the one you should be focusing on, it too, is a necessity, without fear, we would not exist, for survival it is necessary, but never let it get the best of you, fear with a regulator to turn it up and down at will is a recipe for a glorious life. 

DO NOT GIVE UP

Never give up, you might have already heard it countless times on many occasions, in fact so many times, you may not even remember its meaning anymore. It is a simple phrase with more than simple use of words, yet it has the power to create warriors and leaders whose names history shall never forget, so great that regardless religions and ideologies do not stand in the way of people who praise them. 

Such simplicity yet such power, "Never Give Up", what it means is you just hang on, hold on your own hopes, just keep doing what you are doing, irrespective of the noises you hear, you just do your thing, that's all it means. If you hold on to it, you will succeed and you will be a success in your own eyes, if you give up, you will be like everyone else, the majority of people you see have given up, to their desires, to their circumstances, to their own selves. People who have compromised their life and live it as such, a compromise. It is not that people do not fail, it just stops trying, they give in to their excuses. That is the simple meaning of that phrase.
