Lack of Motivation w/ a Happy Ending
Itās difficult to maintain the amount of energy I usually have. So my body goes through these days at a time where I donāt have the motivation or energy to get things done. I will have the ideas, but then continue to distract myself instead of focusing.
The thing that throws me off is that 8/10 days Iām usually high energy, positive, motivated, and determined. That being said, these couple of days with no energy are the crash, so they donāt feel too good. On the other hand, they do force me to rest instead of staying up all night trying to teach myself something new about the YouTube world or research into another business venture that might fit my brand in the future. So these days of rest arenāt all bad, but I donāt like that they hold me back from getting some things done when I planned for them to.
My mother reminds me often that nobody is holding a gun to my said telling me when these things must be done and as long as Iām working on my brand, Iām working towards my future. I love that. She reminds me to slow down and accept these rest days for what my body intends for them to be. She tells me that Iāve always been too hard on myself, but only because I know what Iām capable of when I apply myself wholeheartedly.Ā
I get excited to talk about the days that are all smiles and productivity. I donāt talk enough about the days that I wish I could get myself to focus. I know whatever Iām working on isnāt going to be as amazing if I rush the process though. I have to let creativity come naturally.Ā
These days I use to spend with my dog, catch up on all the tv Iāve been waiting to watch, and meditate. My dog always looks sad to me nowadays and I think itās because everyone has such busy lives in the house that he doesnāt get the same amount of loving as before. I try to take him out on walks or throw the toy around with him, but I have to limit that time when I have the motivation and energy to push out a bunch of content. I try to make him feel like a king whenever I get the chance though...
I donāt watch a lot of tv because most of it is stupid. I keep up with whatās on the Shaderoom to know whatās happening inĀ ācelebrityā lives.. not that I care to keep up with them, but itās usually the topic of discussion around me, so itās nice to know who and what people are talking about.Ā
Meditating is difficult. The first thing I have to concur is the feeling of wanting to move around or open my eyes. Then I can focus on clearing my mind completely. I like saying mantras to calm my body, but I would love to learn to quiet my mind altogether. Itās coming, slowly but surely.
To wrap this up, learn this lesson without going through what I am... Let yourself rest. Yes, it is awesome to be the person that can get it all done, but donāt let that meaningless title have you too worn down to take care of yourself. Self care is important. Mental health is important. Listen to your body.
