Back to winning

I've been accomplishing and processing so much and all of a sudden, the motivation seems to be gone.

Completely.

I don't want to read or work out or plan or work on projects or even finish the game I was working on. I couldn't even motivate myself to do four loads of laundry four loads of laundry. I was home alone almost all day after work...

What the hell am I doing? I have downsizing and minimizing to complete and things to throw away and donate and clothes to watch and quite a few books to read and here I am online doing god only knows what and...

I looked at my room trash and my trash bag and things littering my desk and I put my computer away and I took the trash downstairs. I put a load of laundry in the machine and started a cycle. I picked up a book and started reading. I decided to donate my small room trash can and put it in a corner. The cycle finished and I started a new after after putting the previous load in the dryer.

There were texts. The responses were delayed. I reflected on my day and my feelings about things. I feel withdrawn. Michael called and I was happy to hear from him. The guys were rowdy on Skype. John and Cedric and Corri and Phil were texting. Roommates left. I keep washing, drying and reading.

I laid out clothes for the next morning. Soon, I got to my stopping point. Almost 3am and here I was with work tomorrow, but I didn't care. As I took out the trash, I thought "I'll be damned if I start all this stuff -- good stuff -- for myself and not finish it this year. I am completing the hell out of stuff this year if it kills me.

Sometimes anger is good motivation.

I'm going back to the winning team.

  1. This is just what I needed to read on a day like today.

  2. Homeostasis... just homeostasis. ;) We don't want to do what we need to do. However, I've been in the same boat as you the last couple days. I've had no energy and have not wanted to do anything. For different reasons than you, of course, but I still need to get out of this funk somehow.

  3. If I can help, let me know. Usually the path out of these things, from what I'm learning, is taking one determined step after another until you hit the exit.
