Brilliant article. I couldn’t agree more!

Whenever I found myself feeling overwhelmed with anxiety I would retreat from the world. I would slowly allow responsibilities to slip until I reached a point where I was no longer moving forward. No longer moving at all.

I would sit paralyzed knowing that i needed to do things. To start eating healthily again, to go to the gym, to go out and see my friends, to carry on reading that book that would help push me forward in my career. Even to just give myself the time to do something I enjoyed.

Eventually after some time I would reach a point where a voice in the back of my head tells me that it doesn’t matter if I want to do these things or not that I should just do them anyway.

I would listen and eventually I would see my life coming back together again. I would start to love the things I once did, to see myself growing, all backed by a newly found motivation.

Its never motivation that kicks starts my growth or continues my momentum. I find it impossible to find motivation to do anything in these times.

Like this article so clearly points out its motion. The act of just doing and nothing more.
