“What kind of person am I?”, “Lazy!”, “Why is everything not like a human being with me?”, “Before, I was directly carried towards the goal, but now nothing inspires me! ”, “There are people, they have everything according to plan, they have enough strength for everything, not like me”... Each of these phrases and many more similar ones have been heard by me from different people more than once. Some of them expressed all this to themselves almost simultaneously, and even more harshly and voluminously. For others, they emerged as if by chance among others. In these phrases one hears a lot of self-complaints based on “Should” or “Must.” There can be many reasons for the lack of inspiration and lack of aspiration. Now it’s not about them, but about blaming oneself, accompanied by “Should”. They deprive one of his strength, of which, in principle, by this moment a person already has very little. Such treatment of oneself, as a rule, is a habitual and guaranteed way to drive oneself into a corner and smear oneself into a “porridge.” And the state of “porridge” is absolutely not what you want for yourself at such moments, right? Who are we smearing when we do this? Your weak part... Your inner child, who desperately wants to be good in our eyes, as before in front of mom or dad, but he simply doesn’t have enough strength anymore (he’s spent a lot of effort). Why is there still not enough strength and inspiration disappears? Perhaps it's a matter of unhealed childhood traumas. And then you need to work with them. As with eradicating the habit of criticizing oneself. But it happens that he is simply tired of the current period or moment. We are tired. None of the representatives of humanity can avoid at least temporary loss of inspiration or fatigue, physical and emotional. We all get tired. We all worry. We all get scared, lonely. We all sometimes at least once experienced despair. We lost inspiration. We got upset. We felt confusion. We lost goals or motivation. And even found ourselves in a dead end. It’s normal to live your life as a person. After all, we are people. Let's not be cruel to our inner child. We will not offend him, criticize him, beat him with words and aggressive thoughts. He's so vulnerable! Especially in such moments! Let's give him support, be kind to him. Let us treat him, if not with love, then at least with acceptance and approval. Let's give him a rest. For ourselves, of course. Let's give ourselves a break and stop constantly demanding too much of ourselves. Maybe now is the time to give yourself what you were denied before. At least to some extent. And then, most likely, after some time, energy and new ideas will appear. The opportunity to see new goals will be discovered. Prospects and options for solving current problems will be drawn. The strength to live will again acquire the wings of inspiration and will allow you to manifest yourself as before, who knows, I never dreamed of it! When you don’t have the strength, is it worth smearing yourself into “porridge”? Maybe it’s better to rest, as much as you need and as much as possible? And then? And then you can move on as slowly or as quickly as you have enough strength and passion. You have the right to live in accordance with your inner rhythms. How do I or anyone else have the right to do this? And that’s for sure. More texts: Why don’t you want anything?
