As I am writing this, I feel super unmotivated.
I watched inspirational videos but it didn’t work.
And looked at tips how to be motivated or productive during your low days.
They said, do the 2-minute rule,
Or chop tasks to smaller and realistically achievable,
Other suggested to make a to-do list,
Or romanticize your work/studies,
Clear desk, clear mind, and I did that as well,
I even meditated,
But nothing I found in the web worked.
What did I do?
Nothing.
Was I unproductive? Yes.
Did I feel any guilt? Sort of.
What did I do to change my mood?
Nothing.
And it’s ok.
Just feel it.
Do nothing.
Enjoy the moment of not doing anything for a while.
Maybe that’s your body’s way of telling you to pause, and reevaluate your life.
Maybe you’re in a transition phase to get the life you can’t stop thinking about.
It’s tough to rewire the mind and convince it to endure the uncomfortable.
It’s normal.
You can’t get it overnight.
It takes practice.
You’ll fail ten times.
But make sure that you’ll get up on the 11th.
Maybe your progress is slower.
But progress is progress.
Pause if you need to.
But remember to press the play button again.
Be patient.
Be strong.
Work. Pause. Work.
Repeat.
