The best thing I could have done for myself when I was at my lowest brings me to when I was crying, devastated, depressed, and down after not making the Olympics… getting up through the pain, and saying “I’m going to keep going, I trust it’s going to get better. I can do this.”

I disagree with “control what you can control”. It makes me feel like a failure for not always “being motivated”. Instead, try “let yourself have feelings, do your best, re-evaluate, and if it doesn’t work, try something else. And also, good job, and nice butt. *smack*”

If you’re feeling unmotivated.. let yourself feel that way for a bit. It’s okay. Sometimes you need to be bored with being mediocre before to propel you to being great. That sounds harsh. But it works for me every time.

Every single day, I really do fight as hard as I can. When you feel like you’re losing, it’s like “Wait why am I trying this hard, to lose?” But then you wake up and you see how strong you are, how amazing you’ve become, and you understand that the best thing you can do is fight.

Fall 2021: Crying every day. Sad. Depressed. But I remember laying in bed, counting to three, and promising myself that I would get through this. Deciding to put on shoes and walk outside so I could just get up. Trying to eat something. Saying “I am ok. I’ll get through this”

I hope you know it’s ok if you fell a little short today. There was actually probably something that you did really well. Rested? Laughed at a funny show or meme? Ate and enjoyed something delicious? You are a human being and you are alive. Win. Good job. You’re doing amazing.

Fall 2021 part 2: every day I took action towards feeling better, I did feel better. I ran, did PT, and practiced mental toughness. I kept going, and soon it was time for track practice. Nervous, but willing, I showed up, not even knowing if I was going to actually run this year.
