One of things that help me stay motivated is all the thoughts and wishes I had while in jail just to be able to go outside as I please to be able to pick and cook my own meals to be able to work to have freedom to stay busy in a positive manner when I feel overwhelmed or lost or like things aren't working I bring myself back to those thoughts and feelings I had and it helps me realize that I'm not struggling that everything is a blessing and by staying on track everything I want to happen will

Those feelings stay with you a long time I think.. I have been on the outside for 2 and a half years, but I served 5 in prison.. and I tell my husband often, these aren't bad times..we may struggle some, but this is still Heaven on Earth to me. And I do the same thing, I think about that when I'm feeling overwhelmed and it definitely grounds me.
