Anyone out there with Bipolar Disorder? I am up and down on my motivation. How do we push through?

Hey there, I'm Bipolar also, add a side of anxiety and manic depression. I've been at this trying to get healthier thing for 7 years, I was a serial starter, but this most recent (3 yrs) try I've been able to get through the loss of motivation by reminding myself that it has done me no good in the past to yo-yo with my diet and exercise. Off days happen, what's important is to learn from it and start fresh the next day on the goal at hand. Also smaller goals to hit before the big one made things more manageable. It's hard, give yourself grace, we're only human. Every step foward is a good step, and sometimes we need rest, as long as we don't stop completely, we're still headed towards the "destination".
