New to threads, Wondering how others deal with lack of motivation?
Starting to get pretty frustrated when, for lack of a better term, I feel like a motivationless potato laying in bed. I know there's things to do. I know I want to draw/write. But holding the pencil and getting that fuzz of nothing gets far too frustrating for me, especially when that vague desire is there.
I almost always end up doing something else in the end. But I'm wondering if there's a way around it.
@thoughtfulCake6126 This is something I am struggling with right now. It is hard, really hard to keep being motivated when you are depressed.
There are a few things I do to help myself.
1. Escaping into books and TV shows. OK, that's not the best strategy as avoiding problems isn't a good way to deal with them BUT sometimes you just want to forget about everything in the reality and be happy in the fictional world.
2. Taking small steps and trying to forget about perfectionism.
3. Trying to understand the reasons why I lack motivation AND reminding myself the reasons why I love to do what I do
I wonder that myself. I'm also a motivationless potato and I have no idea how to break this cicle. *sigh*
