used to be extremely driven and now I struggle to make myself do anything. How did you get motivated again?
A few years ago, I was basically a human battery- working hard, taking on responsibilities at work that weren't even mine, studied, exercised, you name it. Also had a huge circle of friends and boyfriend. But life took a sudden downfall: broke up with my boyfriend, turned out most of my friends were not my friends in a first place.
\\Don't get me wrong, I realize that I might have burned out myself by taking the pressure off from everyone and even had 3 months off. But I literally become a completely different person who still has goals and genuinely wants them. I am studying for professional exams, I want to progress in my career and gym goals. But actually making myself do things feels incredibly difficult to the point when I have to negotiate with myself just to leave the apartment or start studying instead of doomscrolling or being couch potato.
It feels more like the engine that used to constantly push me forward needs serious repair to get my drive back. I miss my energy, discipline and ambition.
