What do you enjoy doing? Create Happiness! Don't wait until you're perfect at it.
Explore
Have something to be excited about and look forward to. You don’t have to do something big (like move abroad). Go on a walk, watch the sunrise, or start a new hobby. Art has become an adventure and also helps me manage stress and find perspective.
Try New Things
I thought I was bad at art & didn't try anything beyond drawing stick figures. It took lots of practice, patience, and trust in myself to attempt painting. When bedridden, I began creating my first website and learning Portuguese (Duo Lingo!)..
Anything is Possible
You never know what you can achieve if you don’t go for it. Don’t make your happiness wait until the day you get the ideal job, boyfriend, or perfect health. Everyone has worth, talent, value, and potential. You are needed. Remember “You got this!”
Choose to Laugh! No matter what happens, the one thing in my control is my attitude.
You can help so many people around you. Reach outside of yourself and contribute to your community. I hadn't sold art but I still taught a local community art class for at-risk youth.
Have you tried yoga, tai chi, prayer, or meditation? Even when my head felt like it was "on fire", I was able to relax my body and calm my mind.
Surround yourself with positive messages and uplifting people. Ask for help if needed. Do a random act of service. React with kindness.

I held my paintbrush and imagined mountains before relearning to paint. I held a book believing I could do hard things and relearned to read.
Believe In Yourself
"Don’t limit yourself and don’t let others convince you that you are limited in what you can do. Believe in yourself and then live so as to reach your possibilities. You can achieve what you believe you can.”
-Thomas S. Monson
