but, how to stay motivated, how do you maintain motivation when it seems nothing is going your way? Send stories of perseverance.
# How did you remain motivated even when it felt like you had no movement?
The downward spiral is strong. I'm getting back on the horse. This feels like a long detour. I'm on welbutrin. I do yoga everyday. The reserves of reward I get from these routines are shot, striving towards new career goals, meeting new people, and trying new things isn't enough sometimes. I do love myself but sometimes i revert to quick avoidance, procrastination, and adhd swings/tendencies. Its hard to see a finish line. Like my efforts aren't amounting. I'm starving for connection so i relapse into recreation alone, or old ways to connect that aren't reliable (so it feels like a failure), I go chronically online, and spend time on social media. I try not to be mad at myself cuz I think it comes from starving socially and as a human. I try to entertain myself cuz i feel no motion, for things not panning out. I'm sure there is some self-sabotage at play. I try to date and meet men, by going outside and doing stuff, but it hasn't panned out. I haven't gone on a date since April. I fall into the scroll circuitry for some quick fix escape or connection. Someimtes if one part of my life picks up it makes the other pieces easier to put together. Sometimes it feels like no one cares and the culture around me disturbs me. Mostly scared cuz the more I look for work and fulfillment, i feels like i am just getting started.
How do you fall back in love with your morning routine? Yourself? Did you persevere?
I tried to break-down what I could change and work on. And things I could try to fix.
Things I'll try:
waking up earlier, sleeping earlier. sleep procrastination is real, as a creative person who seems to let all of their issues and clarity come after a day to resolve
creating a visual aid, i almost forget who I am or what track i'm on when i'm escaping, when the same same but different hits.
planning, if i'm not meeting men and friends by wondering and being in the city, i need to go to networking events, club meetings, what have you.
triggers:
* workout routine not hitting
* new interest in learning food and wine, no structure
* taking the same commutes
* the heat, jump starts my energy but now it feels a bit like winter but with heat
* no metrics for progress
-self awareness
