Ah, motivation… it can stand between us and the checklist we created — but it can also be the catalyst to help us get those things done! What helps you stay energized when you have multiple things to knock off your list?
I don't live with a formal diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder, but I'm pretty confident that's where my head is at. One thing I've been trying to implement recently, especially when I get stuck in a never-ending thought spiral, is to ask myself some of the following questions. It's not a cure, nor does it always work, but the self-reflection is a welcome distraction at the very least!
I'm always curious about how other people with health conditions balance responsibility with lower or next-to-none energy levels. There are so many variables! (Also, if you have any spoon-saving tips on this topic, I'd love to hear about them in the comments.)
Choose the heart(s) that best match how you’re feeling and explain why in the comments below.
A gentle reminder: There's no pressure to follow through fully, but it's great to have a framework or mindset to try on. You deserve good things, always, especially when it comes at your own pace!
