A little everyday goes a long long way.

Day 1, I thought I was not going to make it. Everything hurt. By day 25, I am able to do 25 pushups (on my knees still) but smoothly and steadily in one go.

Small wins and incremental changes shifts your life.

Remember this when you are working with your mind. One day at a time, one step at a time.

To all of you suffering from poor mental health, here are some amazing resources that I have featured over the past few days.
