what if motivation is simply a lack of demotivation?
I have been struggling with the concept of motivation because, I refuse to believe it just appears out of no where.
Today, I realized I was constantly talking myself out of what I love doing the most. I was coming up with random reasons that people won’t like what I build, they are gonna criticize, what’s the point in doing this anyway, this won’t change a thing in the grand scheme of things, why don’t I just chill, etc….
Then I realized, why should I trust what my brain is telling me. Because, when I do finish this, I’ll feel internally rewarded, motivated to do more things and gain knowledge along the way. Right now, everything my brain is telling me is just negative self talk.
So today I let go of the concept of having this expectation of being motivated, but rather just be, just let things be and no need to summon this so called energy called motivation, but just do things because it’s there right in front of u, it will be boring at times, but not having any emotional attachment to it, and most importantly “don’t trust my freaking brain”. #inspiration source
