The challenge of being a man in these days is tough. What’s important though is experiencing the challenges and taking them head on. We are best when we are able to see a challenge and pursue it so that we can get past it. When we are on the other side though it’s confusing and we often don’t know what to do because we don’t see the next challenge yet. It sounds like you’ve had a little bit of this, with some other stuff sprinkled in of course.
One of the things that’s helped me is trying to get myself into a routine of doing specific things every morning or every other morning. Such as organizing the bed after we get up, putting the dishes away and some others. Having these set tasks that we need to do every day helps get the motivation to get out of bed and do it and once we are moving things are easier. If you’re moving around and doing, other things just fall into getting done and before you know it you’re feeling better.
The mental game on so many levels is the most difficult to get past. I know a fair bit about that as I was a runner for a number of years and your biggest enemy when you’re running is your mind. Your mind will convince your body that you can’t keep going but in reality your body is perfectly capable and fine for keeping on. It’s a bit mental game!
James Clear holds the record for most wisdom per word article, but I think you're going to rival him with this one.:)
That routine that you mention is exactly it. You make me remember the do something principle
Action = Motivation = Inspiration
Thank You 🙂
