Now that we have discussed what steps would help you begin your personal journey, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to find inspiration in the stories of others. Knowing that we are not alone in our journey can help us stay motivated.

Learning new coping mechanisms and problem-solving methods (especially ones that work for you and your individual journey) will help you keep moving forward.
