This reminds me of the recent test I took. It was really important to me, so I ignored almost everything: My mental state, my emotions, I feelings, my health,.... Currently, I'm waiting for the result but preparing for that test wears me out a lot and sadly I don't have anyone to help me cope with my burnt out now. No support, no help, no love, just purely rely on myself to solve the problem like I always did. I will update the result as soon as I get it here, but whatever it is, I'm currently burnt to ashes and I think I won't be able to last for long before sanity drops down again. Update: I'm at fourth place, and just one point away from third place, but it is more than enough for me. Now I'm preparing for an even harder test and, like in the video, is like hunger that makes me want more even though it is harming me. However, at least now I have something to motivate me to improve instead of being exhausted everyday even when I'm not doing anything
I really appreciate this video. I realize how much I've crave to be motivated, when all this time I think I am coping too much with social media, and video games, and socializing. At 23, I have already divorced once, and it has left me with a weird mental space where I know feel like I'm depressed, but I don't always notice it. I know I've been motivated to make myself happier, and consequently, buy new things brings me happiness, but it's destructive when its a waste in the end. Truly, I want to play games I always wanted to get into, yet I never find the drive the play them. I end up watching someone else have the fun I want and it satisfies me? Like I said, I've never understood why I think this way, but you've opened my eyes to what I could introduce into my life to help me get what I truly want in life. It's going to take some time changing how and who I have become, but I have new perspective to propel me into these projects and plans I have wanted to achieve. Thank you. I have so much more to say, but I think I should use those thoughts and words to start improving today. :)
that's a good explanation. motivation isn't this on and off switch that most people think it is. i couldn't really explain it but this video said what i had in my head clearer, so thank you for that.
The words I’m about to say are really pathetic and miserable but I’m going to be honest I remember like there was a time where like I haven’t draw anything for like 5 days and I gonna tell you that is the best 5 days in my life no struggling with these freaking “art” I got to do my own stuff I have a life I can socialize more do more fun stuff and it felt really great even though I only started art during like June of this year but I knew that I shouldn’t have high hope for my art and I knew it was bad but I regret seeing art and have a passion for it now it’s just like a curse to me that will forever tied to me till the day I died I regret saying that my dream was to be an artist and a animator and since then the struggle started getting worst I sometimes couldn’t draw anything I can’t escape my thoughts I compare myself to those with the same age as me and they are doing better I don’t have an inconsistent schedule for art I Don’t know where I’m heading I don’t know what to draw what to starts it just sucks I even attend an 2d art school but I felt like they were just helping you art instead of teaching you something I hate myself I really despise my own life I will never become a person in my dream I didn’t try hard enough and art wasn’t for me But since I got to study abroad I felt like myself I started getting into art I search up more things my art is getting better I accept my fear and becomes one with it I accept my failure I embrace it to become better I try to criticize my artwork but I always remind to not do it too harshly to the point of hurting myself mentally and I progress I started having a schedule for it I enjoy my life here in the USA I really want to make a web comic but I don’t know which site should I post it on I also plan to make a youtube channel to post some content here but I just want to say that art is hard is tough and the successful rate is low but I gotta keep going I feared that I might not put enough effort in it but I will try and do some self talk to wake myself and get more motivation
This has changed my perspective regarding a lot of things. And I had a similar experience with your Kinich experience, and then I also noticed the unusually high motivation. But it did not occur to me to control the cause. Very interesting.
Wonderful video, I really appreciate it. However, one question still lingers for me: What if i deprive myself of something but there's the fear I'll never have it back, resulting in meaningless pain? What if I wish to deprive myself of friends to motivate myself to be less lonely but still cannot find any?
Depends on what you want. If you just want to not feel lonely, then there are mental frames and social things you can do with the friends you already have. If it's something like finding a partner, you can deprive yourself into getting more fit/developing social skills, etc.
I understand your point in this video, but I kinda disagree. When you see someone with a good or new Genshin character you feel "bad" for not having them, so you start moving to achieve it, it could be a toxic motivation though because you are comparing what others have vs what you lack of. Maybe with games is fine, but imagine someone wants to date and needs that motivation, watching couples on social media could increase their loneliness (deprivation), which is not good because 1) They could get blocked and never act because of feeling not enough (compared to others) or 2) They start acting and start to date but screwing the things up due to that loneliness (being needy, clingy etc bcs of lack of love or attention) or even doing the things right but ignoring the red flags. Maybe I am wrong and my opinion only applies to relationships, but I hope I explained my view of this. Maybe your point applies to personal projects or games, but it's not related to relationships or similar, but I get that it's okay if you take another person as "inspiration". idk, but I am glad to read other people opinions. Edits: perhaps I'm addresing the problem in a wrong direction, because it's the case of someone who is lonely and actually needs to work on themselves, so dating is actually the coping mechanism you talk about at the end of the video, so they need other people's reassurance and company to feel better, and dating is actually making it worse, thinking it will make it better... What I am trying to say right now is that sometimes we get tunnel vision towards one specific solution and we miss the actual problem. I hope this makes sense XDD just a random reflection that I just made up
You make a good point. Not feeling enough might be a different issue, but dating is one of those things that gets worse the more you're deprived because it has to with emotions. You wouldn't deprived yourself of happiness to make yourself happy like how you wouldn't hold back your love to get more love. In this case, you'd probably need to focus more on objective side of dating "traits, charisma, social skills" that a future partner would want from you and motivate yourself for those. Appreciate the comment. This was good food for thought.
