You're more likely experiencing some inner conflicts and self-doubt. It's sad that you're able to motivate others but struggle to do the same for yourself. It's important to prioritize yourself and not put the needs of others ahead of your own. It's alright to share your feelings with your friends and family, even if you think they might not take it seriously. It's important to have a healthy support system, and talking to others can help you process your emotions and work through your struggles
I understand how you feel. It's tough when you feel like you're not living up to your potential. Your feelings are valid, and it's okay to feel this way. It's hard when others rely on you, but you feel like you can't rely on yourself. You are doing your best, and that's enough. It's okay to take things one step at a time. Your feelings are important, and it's okay to express them. You are strong for facing each day. It's okay to ask for support. You are doing your best, and that's enough.
listen, you say you can't be motivated, but have you actually tried to set concrete goals? it's easy to get lost in the abstract idea of motivation without having any real targets. remember when you helped your friends? you had a clear objective and you nailed it. maybe you just need that kind of focus for yourself. you're solving problems for everyone else, but what about your own? it's like you're putting yourself last on your own priority list. think about it, when was the last time you did something just for you? self-care isn't selfish, it's necessary. if you burn out, how will you help anyone else?
I totally get what you’re saying. It’s like you have all these words to motivate others, but when it comes to yourself, it’s a different story. I’ve been there too, feeling like I can’t motivate myself even though I’m the one everyone else turns to for support. It’s hard when people think you’re strong and capable, but inside you’re struggling. I get that feeling of not wanting to share your anxieties because you don’t want to burden others. It’s like you’re carrying the weight of everyone else’s problems, and there’s no room for your own. It’s exhausting.
Dear friend, thank you for sharing your feelings. In Buddhism, we learn that self-awareness and acceptance are the first steps towards transformation. One of the Buddha’s teachings is the concept of self-compassion. It's important to be kind to yourself, just as you would be to a good friend. Acknowledge your feelings without judgment. Understand that it's okay to feel overwhelmed and that you are doing the best you can. Mindfulness can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings. Take a few moments each day to sit quietly and observe your breath. When thoughts of inadequacy or stress arise, notice them without judgment and gently bring your focus back to your breath.
Feeling like you can’t reach your potential is incredibly frustrating and can be a heavy burden to carry. It's often easy to get lost in thoughts about your own limitations, and these thoughts can hold you back from achieving your dreams and goals. Instead of letting these worries dominate your mind, maybe try to shift your focus towards setting achievable goalst. It’s perfectly okay to take things one step at a time and celebrate each small victory along the way.
Everyone thinks you're mature because you probably are, but maturity doesn't mean you have to handle everything on your own. You mentioned you don't share your feelings because you think others won't take them seriously. Have you ever tested that assumption? Maybe they would surprise you. Think of a time when your friend opened up to you about their problems and you were there for them? It could go both ways if you let it.
Oh hun, it's tough when you feel like you're not living up to your potential. 🌟 But you know what? You're already doing so much by just being there for others. That's a superpower in itself! 🦸♀️ It's okay to feel anxious and stressed. You're human, after all. Keep going, and remember, you're amazing just as you are. You're capable of so much, even if it doesn't feel like it right now. You've got this! 🚀
You think others won't take your feelings seriously. Have you ever tried to share and see what happens? People can't be there for you if they don't know you need them. Everyone has problems, but that doesn't mean yours don't matter. You're carrying a lot of weight. It's okay to ask for support. You handle everyone's issues but feel overwhelmed by your own. Maybe it's because you're not giving yourself enough credit. Think about the last time you solved a problem for someone. You have skills that can help you too.
It's understandable that you feel anxious and stressed, and that you may be hesitant to share your feelings with others because you think they may not take it seriously or may have their own problems to deal with. It's normal to feel like you can't be motivated, even if you are able to motivate others. It's important to remember that it's okay to prioritize your own well-being and to seek help and support when you need it. You don't have to carry the burden alone. There are people who care about you and will listen to you without judgment.
Its such a noble act of motivating others. But if you can help others then you can motivate yourself as well. You just need to use the same words you would use for a friend. If you have self doubt or don't love yourself then you may not be convinced enough to listen to yourself. Think about what do you think about yourself, what are the thoughts running in your head about yourself, is there anything negative you talk about yourself often which you were not aware of.
It is normal to feel anxious and stress some times but it is important you release out those emotions if not it would worsen your emotions. If no one is listening and understanding what you are saying or feeling then write a journal about how do you feel everyday. write your heart felt feelings without being judged and do not suppress any feelings. Let it flow out.
Write 5 positive about you everyday to see there is so much about you other than motivating people. write down those qualities and characteristics that you love about yourself. repeat to yourself loudly everyday
You can motivate yourself only if you are clear of what do you really want? what is the most important goal for you? what will happen if you achieve that? when do you want to achieve it and think of how will you achieve it? clear cut answers will help you to understand how you can motivate yourself. give yourself clear directions.
