Bläh stole my motivation

Every since the first surgery this year, I've been eager to recover. As some of you may remember, the day things went "big ouch!", I even shared the post Carefully optimistic 💜 with you all. And, as some of you will also know, I've suffered the biggest trauma and loss during that week that I've ever had to deal with. It knocked the wind out of my sails, as they say to beautifully... I struggled with immense pain. The traumatic event had be struggling, scared to do anything for the fear of doing it wrong, and I was just broken. Then my biggest soulmate had gotten too ill and she had to leave my side, leaving me alone to deal with all the fears and pain, and adding more pain, feelings of guilt, and starting an immense grieving period (which still hasn't ended). 💔 So, I have to admit, part of my motivation got drowned by all of these emotions. But... I had also promised Arwen that I would not give up, and I would never want to disappoint her, not even after death. […]

Same stuff, different day…

I have often shared that I thrive on a decent enough routine. And I know it can seem and/or be boring at times. As it's always the same, if there aren't any appointments or commitments happening that day. And most days, it's not a problem at all, and I know what to expect and how to deal with it. But some days, after I've gone through the nightly routine, I just wanna get back to bed and hide from the world until it's night time again. I can deal with the night, with the darkness, with the calm and quiet of the world. But when it gets later, when the things I really enjoy have been done... Of course there are things that I need to do during the day that are good and important as well. I get PT every two weeks, which helps me a lot. I need to get groceries at times. I sometimes meet up with friends and do fun things with them. But I am always eager then bed time closes in again. Knowing there will be peace and calm when I wake up again. […]

Have you ever had one of those "meh" days where you're not down in the dumps, but you're definitely not on cloud nine either?

You might be experiencing what's known as "languishing"—that blah feeling where you're stuck in the middle, not quite depressed but far from thriving.

So today, I wanted to share some fun ideas to replace the blah with some bliss.

Post COVID, we've heard a lot about quiet quitting work - but I reckon we can also quiet quit in life! Same concept, different context.

Here is what it is - and make sure you read my note on the last slide. Tomorrow I'll share some signs that you might be quiet quitting in life.

A bit of self-reflection can go a long way when you're feeling meh or #languishing.

Languishing is a mental state we experience when we have low mental wellbeing. It's often described as feeling 'blah', invisible, or lost in life.

It's not a nice experience (been there - done that 😌) and important for us to recognise it.

So today, I wanted to share with you what people who are languishign might say. Or, what you might think or feel like if you're #languishing.

Not feeling the best, got nausea and my head is trying to kick off, do my first attack is pain meds & nausea meds. Taken with a full fat cherry coca cola as the sugar & caffeine activate the meds quicker

So, do I watch the two rabbits having a fine old time in the back garden or the two City guys mowing the grass in the park across the road to the front as though they're on the dodgems at a fifties fairground? Both, obviously, as walking from one window to the other is all the exercise I'm likely to get today.
