if you’re losing motivation rn read this ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

big or small, there are moments that trigger our emotions to feel motivated. but with the situation right now, some people find it hard to get those kinds of motivation back— to get their mood to lighten up. +

here’s a piece of advice: if you’re thinking about doing something, you’re actually motivated to do it. you just need to create the motivation to completely set your mood positively so you’ll start moving. for some people, they’ll say that “just wait for motivation to come” +

but if you keep waiting for it, you could get stuck doing nothing. sometimes, waiting isn’t enough. you have to start even when you feel like you can’t. it’s not something you have to put pressure or you have to quickly do, +

just take things slowly like when we’re stretching up before dancing. how to actually do something if you feel demotivated? convince yourself that you will only write, draw, or work on something for 5 minutes. before you know it, +

that 5 minutes may extend and finally lighten up your mood to do something and continue it. +

if this does not help, maybe you’re also secretly afraid to do work or be productive because you’re thinking that it’s a lot of work. it’s not really bad to think that way but it’s wrong to think that it’s always like that. +

try to make a to-do list and keep reading it until you finally feel like doing it BUT don’t rush everything. relax yourself. no pressure. follow your to-do list one at a time so you won’t easily get tired and it won’t affect your mood or it won’t lead you to feel stressed. +

do not overload yourself.

lastly, don’t blame yourself for not being able to be like the others who are being productive these days. not everyone is the same. not everyone can be on the same level. +

watching series, finishing an anime, streaming your faves’ music videos, reading manga, and playing with your dog — i’m proud of you! you’re alive and you’re still doing something. +

it may not really be ‘productive’ but you’re keeping yourself sane from what’s currently happening in our world and you should be proud of that. it’s not bad doing something that makes you happy.
