What To Do When You Feel Tired, Lazy Or Unmotivated All The Time

Every day you do the same things, expecting the things you’ve always done to suddenly change your life in some way, but they don’t!

You keep clinging to the thought that if you work harder, or do better, things will change, and when they don’t you fall further and further into a learned helplessness.

It’s not surprising then that you feel so apathetic about life.

Why would you feel motivated if there was nothing that’d result from anything you do? What would be the point?

Right now you lost all confidence in your actions.

You learned through experience that not everything you do leads to change, but that does not mean your actions are pointless.

Just because nothing happened before doesn’t mean nothing will happen now.

And just because what you’ve done before doesn’t work does not mean what you will try now won’t.

The problem with all of this is that you have to act contrary to your belief.

You have to keep trying even though you already failed a hundred different times.

To get out of this apathy you must prove it to yourself that your actions do have merit.
