While filling up my nutritionist papers this morning, I found a question that was quite intriguing. In the personal quests he asks what makes me get out of bed every morning and it took me about twenty minutes to answer.
Well, I rather don’t share it on Steemit, I found it very personal and particular, but I’m astonished how it took me so long to answer that.
Today I’d like to share it with you guys, and make you reflect on your life in a way you know to answer that.
I recall years ago, when I was motivated to achieve something and getting up in the morning was so easy and natural, I knew what to do and where I was going, going to bed early and waking up early was absolutely great. As I got frustrated with that thing, getting up everyday was just ugh, too much!
I mean, of course I kept doing what I had to and perform my tasks was alright, but there was no pleasure any more, it became an obligation.
How does it feel for you? What are your thoughts in the morning? Are you “yay, let’s do it” or “ugh, another day on planet Earth!”.
I realise I’ve been just existing lately, just killing time. And it has nothing to do with things I do or don’t, I simply feel no pleasure in doing those things I have to. And I’m not talking about job or a sport, I’m talking about all life departments.
Do you feel genuinely happy your are alive? Because I guess I just feel alright I’m not dead yet. Do you see the difference here?
I mean, we should never feel guilty for these kind of feelings, but we should think over them, because we deserve happiness. Why am I living like that? What’s wrong that I found no pleasure in what I do and am?
I asked a friend what makes her get out of the bed and she answer “I guess a good black coffee and the feeling I can fix what I still haven't succeeded”. That sounded right to me.
If you already know the answer, please, share with us in the comments.
Thanks for reading,
