Hey Everyone.
Sometimes depression and sadness, unfulfillment and a great emptiness get over our wishes and emotions. Such as the one I am experiencing at the moment.
Let's put things on context... Since few months ago I've been only working and studying, practicing since waking up until going to sleep. It been more than a month of doing this. Therefore I made a new habit from it and habits are hard to quit. Anyway, this wasn't a bad habit for my standards but actually the opposite.
What was the problem?
Doing so much use of focus and concentration really makes you lose the peace in within... since few months/weeks I've been feeling that I need to play URGENTLY video-games such as any MOBA out there. So this weekend with some friends we organized a lan-party where we brought our laptops and played Heroes of the Storm. It was truly amazing, but wasn't enough for me so at home and for the rest of the weekend I played with my girlfriend. But didn't practice/work at all for the whole weekend. Being so that I still have this working and practicing habit.
The result is me feeling so empty and sad today that I couldn't even pick my self up from the bed. I feel I lost all goals and objectives in no-time. And that s critical.
What's my way to deal with this "negative buffs" to myself?
Just keep going.
Generally what I do when I feel like doing nothing and being sad is to force myself to do things. I can remember what was the goal and what moved me few days ago so I force myself to keep that goal even if the times are dark and it doesn't really move me anymore. Still, it is a good reason to keep moving, it always is, no matter the direction, just keep the movement.
If you stay in the same place, then you are probably losing that battle, and if you do it daily, then you are losing the war.
So you have to keep moving, no matter the reason. Because one thing is for sure: the pain and sadness and emptiness will pass... but the loss of time won't.
Be smart, be productive, and you will pass your times of depression like a pro.
Thanks a lot for your support and I see you in the next one!
