First step: Sit down for ten minutes without doing anything. Relax, take a deep breath, then think about what you admire in others, what you with you were but aren't, what you'd like to truthfully describe yourself as to a new person.

Then: Before you go to sleep think about what you want out of tomorrow. You can write it down, you can just briefly consider it, whatever. Do tomorrow's goals relate to your future vision of yourself, if even a tiny bit?

Upon awakening: BEFORE you look at your phone, before you get up and start scrolling, think about what you're going to do today. Is it one task? Is it eating a healthy meal? Is it reading a little bit from a book you love or a subject you know nothing about (yet)? Is it taking an online course? Is it subscribing to a couple of YouTube channels that teach the things you'd like to know?

Spend some time before you kick the day off thinking about who you'd like to see yourself becoming, then do at the very minimum ONE thing to go in that direction. When you do, reward yourself with positive thoughtful reenforcement.

You did it! You invested in yourself! If you do it consistently, you'll find that you enjoy it. You'll become more important, future you will become more realistic, and you'll become yourself.

You're worth it!

EDIT: Wowza, Reddit Gold! Thank you all so much! Honestly though, I'm just happy that some of you are motivated by this to become the people you'd like to become. Stay posi!
