Where Does Apathy Come From? — The Cause of Low Energy And Motivation
Life is fine, but it is not special.
The days go by without us noticing it and most days just do not seem all that special.
We spend a lot of time watching TV or playing video games, because it’s the one thing that is at least borderline interesting.
We do not go outside much or plan events for ourselves or with our friends.
We rarely get invited to anything and actually begin to be okay with that.
We hardly exercise, maybe going to the gym once a week, but even that does not last long.
We avoid talking to people and want to be alone most of the day, not answering those that do end up messaging us because it just does not feel that important.
Do any of these sound like you?
If you do experience any of these or all of them be careful! Most often these are the signs that you are not investing enough in your life to remain passionate about what you do.
Of course sometimes you need a rest, but if you experience the above on a regular basis then be very careful.
For if you allow yourself to slip further into them you’ll find yourself becoming more and more apathetic to all of life.
