Motivation

This post came about as I sat on my bed staring at nothing, wanting to do nothing, feeling no motivation at all. Throughout today I had this feeling, I just didn't want to do anything, I lacked the basic motivation I needed to function, I could only do the bare minimum of what I should have been doing. Trying to do anything would end in me getting distracted by every last little thing, even music didn't work to clear my mind and I could hardly remember what I said previously at some points and was unable to recall events that have happened recently. Looking back though I still did get some things accomplished, went to school, finished editing notes from a meeting, created a flyer for a fundraiser taking place next week, corresponded with the marketing director of a non-profit I am helping with an event, I ate two meals, I held a meeting for one of my clubs, I brainstormed with a student about a website plan for my internship, I showered, I put on matching clothes, I told a former teacher that I want to become a marketing director of a non-profit and she encouraged me to pursue it stating that I was probably more qualified than most people my age, I spoke with my two supervisors for my tutoring job, informed a former member of one of the clubs that I run about what is going on in the club, I booked a video recording room at my college to create an introduction video to advertise what I can tutor in, and I am creating this post. Doing this, taking inventory of what I have achieved today, what has happened makes me realize that maybe I am taking on too much since I still think I should do more. It makes me think that maybe I am experiencing burn out.

Motivation is part of what has driven me to the heights I have achieved. Motivation is something that only you yourself can make yourself feel. Motivation has also driven me to experience burn out more often than I would like to admit. There are times that I have lost motivation to do just about anything in life and I hate the feeling and I don't have the knowledge on how to combat it. I want to take time to learn more about mental health and what I can do to not only help myself but others around me also.
