What could be causing this lack of motivation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not feeling exhausted, I will say that today I seem to have a lack of happiness, I don&#8217;t want to say I feel sad because I&#8217;m not sure I do but I&#8217;m not feeling happy either and I can&#8217;t pinpoint as to why. This lack of positive energy is what I believe is keeping me from feeling motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find myself zoning out, I&#8217;ve been trying to look through the streaming services for something to watch and so far I&#8217;ve just been &#8220;Channel Surfing&#8221; without being able to decide what I&#8217;m in the mood to watch. I&#8217;m also feeling a bit anxious today, it;s not overpowering but it&#8217;s there and I can notice it. I guess we can call this feeling melancholic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes these feelings or moments are just hard to explain, especially when there are no reasons for them. How can you tell someone you are feeling sad but you can&#8217;t tell them why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I&#8217;m going to do what I usually do on days like this, I&#8217;m going to go to my husband and demand a hug. More often than not this alone dispels the blues. After that, I will either do something or watch something that I know makes me happy to further counteract the melancholia, at the end of the day it doesn&#8217;t matter if I accomplished anything or not because tomorrow will be another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have found over the years that if I&#8217;m not feeling motivated I should not force it because then whatever I put out will not be my best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, I feel lazy, I have not been motivated to do any art or crafts and I also feel limited because of the partially torn tendon in my arm which is preventing me from doing any strenuous activity or heavy lifting.
