The BURN OUT
Getting started is so hard. Do you ever lay in bed all night thinking about the plans you have for the next day? A whole list of to do’s with the conviction you will certainly do them. Somehow the comfort of blankets and regrets of another day motivates all sorts of plans and desires. Things you aspire to complete, or things you only want to delete. Then morning comes, and you wake up feeling refreshed. Ready to conquer the new day ahead. Ready to put those plans in action. But you’re body is frozen. Something is holding you back. The same distractions from the day before hinder your ambitions. The ideas are still there. The energy is there. But you feel paralyzed, unable to take a step forward. Feeling like your drowning in every idea all at once, suffocating underneath the passion, with every ounce of your mind trying to break through. But your body just sits there. A war with our own thoughts. A battle with our doubts. There are places we want to go, activities we want to complete, but we’re stuck in the same zone. Intrusive thoughts tend to replace the space to create. The motivation turns to tremors and the nerves make you quake. The pressure put on yourself is squeezing too tight, and the more you push the heavier the weight becomes to carry. You've mastered the inability to function. You try everything, but that thing you are actually trying to do. You understand where you are headed but the fear challenges you. The darkness clouds your vision and the light becomes dim. It’s just a hard day today, I’ll tell myself. But the day turns into days, then weeks, then months, even years. The enthusiasm that once propelled you to find victory, becomes numb.
