What helps you when you're feeling unmotivated?

[@user-ox7kg1jz2b]

Sometimes I get unmotivated and can’t stop watching random videos forever. I am in the middle of it today and I’m here to get inspired to stop it.

[@agoogolofgeese]

This is almost every day for me. It’s a constant battle against a deficit in motivation. I’m always late for work even though I spent at least two or three hours beforehand watching videos on KZbin. Sigh

[@kristinyaekelnegley3978]

Same here! It’s so addicting. It’s like the new alcohol or something. A way to drink away (or scroll away) our problems.

[@rosemariediorio5431]

Does anyone know how to stop ? I can’t for a day

[@agoogolofgeese]

10+ years ago I worked as a part time dishwasher and I had my own apartment, a social life, money in the bank, and time to spend my money or have some fun. I’ve lost most of those things in the years since and as time marches on they seem less and less attainable. It seems like they’ve been replaced by pain in my back, my ankles, and my mental state. It feels like a curse, but I know I’m not alone. Most of my coworkers at every job are in the same situation. Something needs to change in this country (the U.S.).

[@dsmith9103]

Just doing nothing for a day then getting stuck in the next day, especially with work

[@dinabutler6606]

This was so very helpful.

[@CalmlyCoping]

[@CalmlyCoping]

I'm so glad this resonated with you, Elisa!

[@christinamonti9644]

[@briantowner4285]

[@anantgamer8952]

I appreciate your work, It's really helpful in life.

[@CalmlyCoping]

Thanks so much!

[@ellareei]

Oh my God I love u for this 😭😢

[@lovealwayswen]

This is how I’ve been feeling 😢it’s horrible

[@Alyy4]

This was broken down so good but to be honest even the one step at a time feels overwhelming ,why’s that

[@azulaaaaa01]

The past week has been so infuriating for me because my lack of motivation. I was really into rollerblading during march but then april came around and I ended up pulling my right chest/arm at work and I had really bad health anxiety and then just completely lost interest in rollerblading. What sucked so much was that I was sooo fucking good at it but now when I try and don't do as well as I did the prior month, my motivation just sinks to a fucking 0!!!! I've also been having a lot of anxiety over me feeling unmotivated because all I can think of is "What if I'm like this forever?" etc. Sometimes the anxiety gets so bad I have to fall into a breakdown for myself to then become level headed again. I am also pretty sure that is NOT healthy! I am going to continue to try and push through even if I have 0 motivation for my own life and work and just keep track of how I feel. If I continue to fall down this path despite my best efforts to try and pick myself up I will seek help when it comes to mental health disorders. Thank you for this informed video. Incredibly helpful, sadly relatable and very professional as well.

[@CalmlyCoping]

This is an opportunity for you to recover and come back even better than before because you are learning from the setbacks/difficulty. You've got this! Thank you for your kind words!

[@briantowner4285]

I lost my wife in 2011 to cancer and then my mom a couple years ago and then my dad just recently, There's so many things that have gone on when they were alive and i feel terrible for the things that have happened!!

[@CalmlyCoping]

I'm so sorry for your losses. ❤

[@agoogolofgeese]

I feel like I’ve been burnt out for nearly 10 years and it’s only gotten worse in the last 5. In the restaurant industry, it’s virtually inescapable. But in addition to a restaurant job, I’ve had to pick up two other jobs just to pay the bills as everything becomes more and more expensive. Taking rest is impossible because rest/vacation = loss of money. Even if I do get a vacation I can’t relax because I’m constantly worried about bills. Life in the modern service industry is a prison. It sucks, man. I don’t know what to do anymore.

[@agoogolofgeese]

That is, in the U.S. at least. 10+ years ago I worked as a part time dishwasher and I had my own apartment, a social life, money in the bank, and time to spend my money or have some fun. I’ve lost most of those things in the years since and as time marches on they seem less and less attainable. It seems like they’ve been replaced by pain in my back, my ankles, and my mental state. It feels like a curse, but I know I’m not alone. Most of my coworkers at every job are in the same situation. Something needs to change in this country.

[@agnieszkarozenek9253]

One of the best video, clearly explaind. I know it because of working on myself many years. But sometimes I need to repeat the knowledge to put it into the practice again :) btw can u correct my comment in English? Still learning 😂😅 ❤

[@CalmlyCoping]

Thank you for your kind words! Your English is excellent!

[@agnieszkarozenek9253]

@@CalmlyCoping thank You for your work 🙏

[@AprilLovesDIY]

I haven’t needed to do a budget for my husband and I literally for the past 16 years. I don’t know how to do it. He doesn’t know how to do it. He doesn’t know how to help me so every month we get paid I live in this constant state of stress because I don’t know how to make myself sit down with my ADHD and look at this bank statement and figure out how Much money we can have to spend on this or that and where all of our money is going just the thought of it is debilitating honestly and he doesn’t care. I’ll just feel like I can’t do this. I don’t have any help. It is causing me so much problems. I don’t know what to do

[@inlov33]

Breath! Think of themes and categories. For example: Allocate into two categories -Essential ( rent, gas, bills) -Non essentials ( coffee, gifts, dining out) Buy a gift card loaded with some 200-500 and only use it for your particular category (day to day essentials) for that month.
