So... this is my first time here. Has anyone ever had a strange motivational experience like this?
I'll try to summarize my story. I went to college for something I didn't want (medicine), I've already graduated, I've dealt with (and still deal with) bad people who are difficult to work with, I have to study a lot every day, I want to maintain a routine of physical exercise and healthy eating. Since college, I've felt drained and unmotivated.
I think at some point I developed depression, I must be at a moderate level. But I don't want to use medication and I've already tried therapy once.
It turns out that... there was one particular time when I felt very motivated. It sounds kind of stupid saying it... but I have a great interest in the human mind and psychology, so I was trying to find solutions for myself and once I was researching alter egos... and I thought about alter egos being something closer to us and not a distant character. And I imagined myself as an inventor (I'm a creative person, I draw, write, sculpt, I've even done some furniture designs, I fix things). Well... it was kind of strange, but for about 5 days straight I entered a state of flow or something like that... I know I did all the tasks I'd been procrastinating on, I studied, I treated my boyfriend well, I was really productive.
After that I went back to my baseline state. Unfortunately. But... it was an experience I couldn't repeat, but... it felt so right, you know? I didn't imagine anyone very different from me, I just literally changed the occupation in my mind.
Has anyone ever had a similar experience?
