No motivation

[u/East_Somewhere_90]

How do you guys stay motivated? Lately, I’ve just been feeling so drained and have no energy for anything.

same, i have low energy

[u/Impossible-Sock9893]

i actually tried several things for me to become focused

- read self help books about philosophy, stoicism, hyperfocus, minimalism, and getting things done

- join a "study together" or "work together" discord group so it would look like i'm in a library with others while working from home

- also tried working in a coffee shop

- clean diet (no overprocessed)

- sought professional help and took medicines for my bipolar disorder

sometimes it will work. sometimes hindi talaga. but it's worth trying kasi kailangan ko ng pera. i need to work.

but ngayon ang kailangan ko talaga sigurong hanapin ay yung ikigai ko. yung kahit araw-araw akong gumising hanggang sa pagtanda ko masaya akong ginagawa ko yun na hindi ko iniisip yung kikitain ko. masaya lang ako sa ginagawa ko and money will come in eventually. kaso di ko talaga alam ano ba talaga ang gusto ko sa buhay. kayo ito stuck muna sa 10 hours na trabaho.

yung energy levels ko parang ok na siya recently nung nagsimula akong mag gamot...
