Feeling a bit demotivated?. Well, don’t be too hard on yourself…
Well, don’t be too hard on yourself, “slow progress is still progress”

Some days I just feel so restless and long just to sleep all day. Time passes by so quickly and by midday, you soon realize that your day has completely gone to waste having done anything.

I remember sharing with my friend how i feel my schedule is muddled up and I can’t seem to “ do it all.” She shared her sentiments on setting up a schedule but one thing that struck a chord and always rings to me is, “Slow progress is still progress.”

That to me is what I needed to hear. Between the daily hustling and trying to write up my thesis as well as communicating with loved ones, I realized that it shouldn’t be a constant cry. Just making sure that at least one task has been/ or is halfway through is enough, and quite frankly that gets me motivated some days.

I remember those days back home when my mother would share with me her life lessons and she would emphasize on “laziness being a disease.”

Looking back, it is quite true. Whenever you feel lazy to do something, that feeling of being unmotivated seeps in as well. It just becomes a cycle and your body gets used to that feeling. All it takes, and so I’ve realized, is that small intent to do something that would at least motivate you a little. I was feeling a bit unmotivated as thoughts of “what should I do with so much going on in my life right now” resurfaced. Writing this piece, kind of helped me ease the anxiety.

I guess, in a nutshell, sometimes you just got to do it. Don’t think too much on the “what ifs,”! Just put your mind to it and do it.
