Hopelessly Unmotivated

This week, I have found myself hopelessly unmotivated. I have not had the urge to write. I have not had the urge to practice my yoga. I haven’t had much of an urge to do anything other than watch Parks and Rec, if I’m honest. 

I don’t know if it’s been the weather. Or maybe I’ve just shrunken into a bit of a blue mood after last weekend’s shenanigans. All I know is, I have just wanted to be curled up in my bed, watching something funny, and able to just zone out.

At first, I felt bad about it. You know how self- talk is….I was thinking “My God, I should be exercising. I feel like a dumpster. I should be writing….my blog isn’t going to write itself”…and the like.

As per the norm, my best friend came to the rescue. I told her how I was feeling…just completely unmotivated this week. She responded with the quote in the heading photo. As always, her rational thought process made me feel oodles better.

Is it okay to have weeks where you aren’t going a mile a minute? Exercising diligently? Writing at every possible minute? Solving the world’s problems? YES! It is totally fine. That is life! You’re going to have days where you feel invincible, and like you have it all together and could conquer the world. Then, there will be those days when you just want to crawl in bed and watch TV. And as long as you don’t let that feeling consume you and your time for very long…it is very much okay!

So today, I’m thankful for the down times…they make the moments of inspiration and motivation that much sweeter. And as always, I’m thankful for my very rational-thought-driven friend who always knows just what to say to bring encouragement on my not-so-top-of-the-mountain days.
