How to start something if you are constantly tired and lack motivation for anything else? Hello! I think it’s important to say, that due to the abstract nature of the question, it is difficult to give any specific recommendations, so the answer will contain some general ideas about the problems that interest you. I saw two parts in your question: one about fatigue, the second about motivation. I would like to comment on each of them. Your fatigue may have different reasons. Firstly, purely physiological. Are you getting enough sleep? How do you eat? How balanced is your work and rest time and how do you relax? Secondly, fatigue can be a symptom of certain diseases, for example: anemia or thyroid problems. How long have you been to the doctor? When was the last time you had a medical examination and tests? Thirdly, you may be overloaded with work and other things. We tend to underestimate the amount of energy that the journey to work or school or home life takes from us. In such cases, it may be helpful to write down a list of activities that you typically do in a day. It is important not to miss anything: calling grandma, washing the dishes and walking the dog also count. After compiling the list, answer the following questions for yourself: How do you feel with such a load? What activities take the most energy? Are there things that, on the contrary, give you strength? What would you like to change? How to put these changes into practice? Well, fourthly, not only physical activities lead to fatigue. Constant thoughts about the past, focusing on problems, worrying about the future, emotional maintenance of relationships - all this can also lead to fatigue. Where does your energy go? Now about motivation. Often this question arises in relation to those things that a person does not want to do, but considers himself obligated or obliged to do them. Motivation is usually found for things that are pleasant and interesting to a person. Therefore, the question arises: what do you lack motivation for? Do you really need to do this? What would you rather do instead? If you really need to do this, then why? How does this relate to your dreams, plans for life, values? How will these actions help you live the life you want to live? If, after answering the above questions, this activity has acquired new meanings, what will help you not to forget about them? Sometimes fears, fear of disappointment, and self-doubt can stand between our desires and their realization. Try to explore on your own or with a specialist what is blocking the path of your motivation? And sometimes we don’t know how to organize ourselves and start doing something. There are many different ways: it helps someone to do all the unpleasant things in the morning; some use the Swiss cheese technique, doing a little here and there; some people are most effective when they work using the pomodoro technique, working for 25 minutes without a break, and then resting for 15; and so on. You can understand what is right for you by trying different options and relying on your knowledge about yourself: when you are most productive, what is your rhythm. The answer turned out to be voluminous, I hope you will find useful things for yourself in it. If you still have questions or want to clarify something, you can ask a question anonymously on ask.ru or in communication with a psychologist. Sincerely, Egolutional support.
