I am asking you to please try to take some easy steps to start with, as I feel that you, too, can get out of this one. You only need to take one small step at a time, you don’t have to do more. If you want and can do more, you will know it and naturally do it. So, make sure to give yourself an initial push with the easiest action. If you are persistent, you will see fantastic results, and the best of all is that with some early results, you will already get a significant motivation to keep going.
