I am afraid of taking on a consulting role despite of being interested in the work because I consistently find myself struggling to get out of bed or having the courage to do work.

I think exploring something you are interested in could be a small step to getting more motivation. Courage doesn’t always come naturally for all of us, but we can build it through experiences that help us learn and that give us confidence over time. I know it’s not easy. But, some of the biggest decisions I’ve made, some of which didn’t turn out the way I imagined (good and bad) helped me learn things that that I wasn’t expecting and helped me realize more who I am and what I want.

If you are interested in this I say go for it! No matter what happens you’ll learn from it :)

How do you stop overthinking ? I’ve been overthinking the same topics over and over for months and I barely realize how bad it became.
I try to distract myself and keep myself busy but it’s difficult to me to stop overthinking, it became a really bad habit when I’m by myself. I’m also by nature a very stressed out / anxious person. I usually feel better when I’m around people, but Im the kind of person who can get into their thoughts very easily during a party, event or whatever.
