text: Hi Buddy, we all feel that way from time to time. Don't worry too much. U said u r a good student, wonderful! You know, in life sometimes we have to do things we don't enjoy. It's just how it is. But since you anyway have to do it, why not do it willingly. If you keep feeling sad about it, you know it might make the situation worse. So make a decision whether u wanna do it with interest, or do it dejectedly and with sorrow. If you see *meaning* in what you do, then maybe it won't feel so much of a chore. And sometimes, we have to make that meaning ourselves. We have to make our own stories to motivate us in whatever way possible. \n\nAsk yourself, what would make you feel happy. \nIs it something in particular u r stressed about? Can you do something to change the situation? Sometimes, we wanna do something real bad, but we avoid it becoz we feel it will take too much effort. Try not doing that and take baby steps. Believe me, even 5 minutes of doing something towards that important goal, will make you feel so good.\n\nOne thing that is helping me these days is going *slow*. U know when we hurry through things, it stresses us out, and we can't be *in the moment*. So whatever u do, do it with interest, and do it slow.  \n\nWe all feel burned out from time to time. Maybe u need a lil break? Why not go for a roadtrip on a weekend with ur friends? See a new place. Connect with nature. U might feel refreshed. \n\nMaybe have something new planned for every weekend. This way u can look forward to it. And keep working towards ur goals too. \n\nWell....I wish you all the best!\nDon't worry, you are not alone, and you can do a Lot to make urself feel better. I hope u have a good nights rest.  (Try a nice bath, and some warm-hot milk...if u haven't. it helps)\n\nSorry for ending up with a long answer but I had so much to share.
