YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING?
Lately I was in that state when I don't feel like doing anything, I just lost interest in doing so many things that I normally love to do. I discover this happens to me once in a while especially when I feel overwhelmed by some responsibilities. After discovering that I often feel that way, I had to think of a way to help myself so I don't become a victim of something worser.
I kept trying out different things to help me feel better and a few of them worked out well and I'd be sharing them with you in this post. So without further ado, let's dive right in!
Take some time out!
For crying out loud, get some rest! I notice that I feel this way when I work too much. I guess I'm strong but then little things like this makes me feel weak and tired so the best remedy at this point is getting a good rest and taking some time out. Normally, I should be eating well, resting well and exercising more but I discover that I don't do any of these things well and that always make me loss interest in things after trying so hard.
The truth is, I hardly get a good rest until I feel this way (not wanting to do anything).
Take things slowly
Why the rush and the pressure? Naturally I do enjoy working under pressure but hell no! That's not a good thing at all. Taking things slowly might sound cowardly to some people but then it has worked for me several times so I know it's a remedy for me to overcome anxiety and fear whenever I'm faced with it. Once you start feeling like not doing anything, it means it's time to take things slowly.
Set minimal goals
Most times when I try to set some huge goals done by myself, I discover it makes things harder for me. I find it so hard to accept letting go and that's one major reason I put myself in a position where I work so hard and end up not wanting to do so much. So whenever I start feeling that way, I just try to set smaller goals and try my best to achieve them without putting so much pressure on myself.
Setting goals is good but at a point like this, you want to set a very realistic goal for yourself so you start feeling like an achiever once again and that will surely help you to overcome that situation little by little.
Talk with someone about what you are going through
At this point in time, having someone to listen to you without being judgemental is the best. Since this is a temporary feeling, talking to someone about it would be really helpful and effective. Just make sure to talk to someone who is good at listening and giving good advice to you. I've tried it and it worked really well although it was hard for me to start talking with someone at first but the moment I did, I felt better.
Hang out with someone
Not sure who you should hangout with but then you should definitely hangout with someone, it could be a friend or a family member. When you hang out with someone, it gives you the opportunity to see different things and different people and that might lighten up your inner vibes. If you are always at work in a office, you should try going out and take some natural air and maybe that will definitely make you feel better.
Self Love and self reflection
Don't be so harsh on yourself, you have to understand that you just need more time to get those things right, so don't tell yourself that you are a failure because that can make you feel mad at yourself. And this is why you need the first remedy I mentioned. You have to give yourself some break to figure things out. You just have to reflect on yourself to know when things started going wrong so you can know how to get it right.
You have to love yourself and always take out some time every now and then to reflect on yourself.
I hope this can be helpful to those who have gotten similar feelings as myself. And if you've been able to overcome such feeling, how did you do it? Feel free to share your experiences so we can learn from each other.
Until next time, stay AWESOME and JIGGY!!!
Thank you so much 💙
Thank goodness I’m reading this kind of contents again. Right now I’m doing these things to help me gradually feel better except for this two:
1. Talk with someone about what you are going through
2. Hang out with someone
I don’t know why. It’s just I have these thing in my already: I don’t want them to know, I’m not ready to tell it yet, I don’t want them to feel affective regarding to my current problems, and They would never feel, care or relate to my problems that I’ve always endured. 😔
I totally understand how that feels like, sometimes I'm also scared of talking to someone about what I'm going through but then when I do I just let myself know that nothing can be hidden for so long.
And most especially, I will tell it to someone that I know won't be judgemental, if you don't have someone like that then that's when I'd say you shouldn't talk to someone.
I'm really so glad that you could relate to this, it means a lot to me 💜
Yeah, indeed. Luckily, I've learned a lesson from your blog. 😊
