As usual, i'll be upvoting the best comments when it comes to answering the question of this post:
When you are in a funk...how do you get out of it?
You see, I haven't wrote for 2 weeks now. My life has been great to be honest but I just couldn't get myself to write on steemit. Now, I just hit the point where I realize that I had a "steemit blues" and decided to share what's going on.
So please, answer in the comment section this question: "What do you do when you are in a funk? How do you get out of it?"
Right here is my attempt to answer that question both for myself and for anyone who face this problem.
I don't believe that saying "affirmations" and jumping up and down like in an Anthony Robbin seminar is truly what one must do to get out of a funk.
The truth shall set you free
Facing reality is much more helpful and empowering than running away or pretending nothing is happening. Once you know and admit you are in a funk, you are much better equipped to deal with the issue.
Something happened. If you can't draw any causal link between your funk and a chain of events, maybe you are depressive and maybe you should consult a professional. (I'm no psychologist but it seems obvious to me).
What happened for me to get into the funk of not writing for steemit while I was on a good streak of 5 articles a week? Well, I got distracted. I have this project that I really want to launch but what happened is that it sucked all my time...to then realize that to do what I want to do well, I will have to wait until Steemit releases features that aren't there yet.
I don't like quitting and not bringing a project to fruition. Because of this, I lost "my groove".
"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."
One thing I realized in my life is that when I lose my motivation to do anything is often linked to when I lose sight of the reason why I do it.
This tends to happen especially when I reach a major goal in my life.
We are goal oriented being. Without goals, we are aimless and impotent. Without goals we get trapped into vices that have bad consequences for our lives. When we reach a major goal, we are left aimless and without goals and it can be a place where we get in a funk.
Goals are the "WHAT" of life.
But they all must be informed by our WHY. If what we do don't fulfill our WHY, we are in major trouble and we are bound to hit a wall sooner or later.
I had to do such a thing. Reconnect with my WHY and move forward.
Please share below what you do when you get in a funk and want to get out of it. I can't wait to read your responses. I'll make sure to upvote the best comments.
