3/8/2021 1 Comment Feeling unmotivated Like I had said in a earlier post I don’t want to force a posting schedule but I did not think that a lack of drive would happen so quickly. That’s the thing about mental illness, one week everything is so greats and then the next week the simplest things become so hard. I kept telling myself to write something, that it was too soon to skip a week of posting.
So instead of forcing myself to write i waited for a genuine desire to write, which resulted in three pieces. It’s okay to have a rest, feel burnt out, be unmotivated, and even have a bad week. Allow yourself to feel this way. For me, when I’m having one of those days, or weeks, months, whatever it is at the time, I always come down on myself so hard. Get it together. You’re wasting time. Why do you leave everything for the last-minute. Grow up. This is no way to live. All things I’ve told myself. Did this help? Did it make me get up and get to work? HELL NO. What it did was make me more upset, because why was I allowing myself to talk to myself in such an ugly way. It’s normal to have no motivation sometimes. It’s okay to be burnt out. Let yourself rest that way you can heal. There is always tomorrow. Look at this as a blessing not a curse. Without these bad feelings or bad weeks we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the good ones. Listen to yourself and give yourself permission to take a break. Ignore that assignment. Decline that call. Don’t respond to that text. Cancel those plans. It is okay, it is not the end of the world to miss one assignment, text, call, date. Especially if it means that you get to give yourself some self-care. Because if you keep going even if your burnt out it will be so much harder to recover. Till next time. Cheers bitches.

Yes!!!!!!!! We all feel this way. No one can be “on” at all times. We need to listen to our bodies and our mind and help ourselves feel. Lean into the positivity and feed your soul all the feel good things to keep yourself happy. We all fall but what counts the most is when you get back up! Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with all of us, I know it isn’t easy. Xoxo
