I'm feeling lazy and don't want to do work. And depression is starting to kick in.

Tomorrow I'm going to have to pull the breaks on SW so I definitely get stuff done. Probably for about 10 days because I know how important it is to accomplish these goals but.

I have a miniaturized goal sitting right in front of me that I have to get done tonight and I'm already drained.

And I have a vid chat appointment with the artist I'm working with later today. But she did already give me good news about our stuff so, I suppose I should keep more upbeat about it all.

Someone shake some pixie dust on me and make me see the bright sides.

*Sprinkling* 🧚‍♀️ dust. Social media causes inertia, and drains you of motivation and energy.

Don’t pressure yourself to feel upbeat, when you don’t. That just takes extra energy from you. Just feel how you feel, and do what you have to do anyway. Good luck, my friend! 🤗

@Carissimi Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I guess I'll just have to feel miserable for now, haha. See how long it lasts for.

I do it all the time. I get so depressed, and don’t feel like moving, but I tell myself, feeling miserable is okay. Just do what you have to do anyway. You don’t have to feel upbeat to get things done. Do it in misery. Lol 😆 @AuRevoir

@AuRevoir “Doing” usually lifts your mood a little because you have achieved or produced something.

@Carissimi Yes haha! I mean I did stuff this morning but I just got hit heavy. I'll just get a lot done after tonight and come back when I'm ready I guess. I'm not really going to be able to help uplift people if I'm already down and out myself.

Like they say when you fly...put on your own oxygen mask first. 🙂 @AuRevoir
