5 Things to remember when you have no motivation

In This Article:

What are you going through?

Is it emotional, physical, financial or something else, maybe? Maybe there's one thing you just can't get over or brush off your shoulder. Or do you have a laundry list of things weighing you down?

You try to solve one problem, but you can't fix it until you fix something else.

If you're like me, you are learning (or already know) that life is not something that we can always control, that we always enjoy, or even that we want to deal with. I just want to remind you of a few things.

1. Accept The Love Around You

I'm the type of friend (co-worker, girlfriend, daughter, etc.) that wants to see you happy.

I want to see you grow, to do better. I want you to reach your goals. And when you have no motivation, that seems impossible.

I know what it's like. Sometimes we've got our heads so deep in the black hole of our issues that we can't accept encouragement, positivity and love. In my case, this is especially true if that love is coming from those that love me. For some reason, I just don't always want to listen or accept their encouragement.

Even if there's only one person around that's trying to uplift you, don't reject their love.

2. All You Can Do Is Try

The best way to solve any problem is to try. That's the beginning step, and sometimes, it's all you need.

3. You are Only Human

Don't confuse fiction with reality. Don't be too hard on yourself or overwhelm yourself. There are countless studies done on the effects of stress on the body. Help yourself emotionally and physically by letting yourself be human.

4. Insignificance Is an Illusion

You are important. It's as simple as that.

5. Love Yourself

I'm the type of friend (co-worker, girlfriend, daughter, etc.) that wants to see you happy. I want to see you grow-do better. I want you to reach your goals. And when you have no motivation, that seems impossible.

I know what it's like. Even if I don't know you, you deserve the best.

And you should love yourself.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
