annyshay Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Cross-post from Battle Log... I've hit a patch of not wanting to do a damn thing. Help! Luckily my routines are strong and I'm cooking for myself, but can you guys help me with my mental funk? 7 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
SymphonicDan Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Me too! But we can't help you - this is the secret Boss Fight where the enemy isn't strong but just convinces you that it's not worth fighting. And it invites you to go grab doughnuts, or watch YouTube videos for 4 hours, or whatever your weak spot is... Maybe you need to rediscover some motivation? Remember why you wanted to do those damned things that you're not doing, imagine what you'd like annyshay level 21 to be like - would she do what you're doing now? It could also be that you need more sleep, social time, water or to write out your thoughts to clear space in your mind for getting things done. Ironically and hypocritically, I'm procrastinating getting my stuff done by posting this 6 Quote Level 25 Cyborg Assassin [ STR 36.75 | DEX 26.00 | STA 28.00 | CON 31.25 | WIS 29.25 | CHA 24.50 ] current 5-week challenge: March 2020 external websites with my resources for... fitness & breathwork | mental math & mind sports | motivation & productivity Link to comment

I can't tell you what to do, I just tried to convince myself to do one thing for that day, other than the normal routine and cooking. Just one thing, no more, but at least keep to your routine and cooking too. And sending you loads and loads of hugs and encouragement 2 Quote Mrs. Van's Latest Challenge Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord." Link to comment
MichiruSedai Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I wish I knew a good answer. When I get like that one of two things happens: 1. I stop doing everything useful and backslide 2. I keep doing what I should do even though I don't want to, and eventually funk goes away good luck *hugs* 2 Quote Level: 15 Race: Human Class: Adventurer (Sailor Senshi/Aes Sedai) STR: 14 DEX: 12 STA: 16 CON: 28 WIS: 26 CHA: 15 (unspent points: 6? challenges worth) Weight Loss Progress (SW 12/5/15 272) Mini-Goal: Get back down to my low 152.2 - SW 6/1/17 170.4 - CW 6/10/17: 166.6 regained the last few months - back on track losing in June My Battle Log|My NF Character Sheet Challenges: 1/16-2/16-3/16-4/16-5/16-6/16-7/16-8/16-9/16-11/16-12/16-1/17-2/17- Link to comment
annyshay Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Went out swing dancing because I've gotten friends to go with me. That's my thing for today and was quite fun. What I really need is a vacation, but in the interim... yes, I'm trying to stay on top of sleep, water, journaling, and other self care. I'm actually not really falling behind there. It's amazing how often my feeling behind is all in my own expectations of myself. I tend to go with #2 above, MichiruSedai, but am trying to be careful of "shoulds" so I don't slip into perfectionism and inevitable burn out. So, basically, I think I want to keep doing my best and being patient with the natural ups and downs in my mood and energy. Thanks as always for the support, rebels! 3 Quote Love as thou wilt.

I had a mild panic moment, then wrote out all I've managed to do the last three weeks and gave myself some perspective. 3 hours ago, annyshay said: Went out swing dancing because I've gotten friends to go with me.

I've been feeling like this for some time now and I don't seem to be able to find any motivation. All I can say is that I understand you, and that I am sorry, because it is not nice to feel like that. 2 Quote The Wolverine - Level 5 // BER 6.5 // HEA 4 // STR 4.4 // STA 3 // DEX 4 // CON 4 // WIS 4.75 // CHA 1 He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty.
