My motivation and focus have been dwindling this month and I hate it. What are ways you all get back on track with your focus and how do you stay motivated?

I’m reading this at 10:27am still in bed shaking my head in absolute agreement. Yet I don’t really feel the urge to do anything about it. Must be that motivation part.

Instead of spending 3 hours after lunch wasting time on my phone because I’m so tired, I’m taking a 35 minute post lunch nap. Has helped me restart my afternoon and I’m feeling less burnt out. Also, spending evenings doing mindless busy work to keep organized helps too.

I actually did the naps for awhile. I also started showering mid day instead of morning or night because it helped with the slump. Currently sitting here after I posted after a shower and feeling a bit more productive.

My team is between deals, so I’m taking next week off. Q4 hit me a lot harder this year than it has previously and I’ve been struggling with motivation ever since my last deal closed in December. If you can, I’d try to schedule some time off to do something you enjoy, even if that’s Netflix & takeout. We can all use a break right now!

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married). Ended up quitting my job and became more miserable, poor and suicidal. Haven’t seen my girlfriend due to long distance and COVID and we might break up soon. Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?

What to do for a spouse who is struggling emotionally but refuses to get professional help?
I’m 17 weeks pregnant with our first. My husband is really struggling with emotional/ mental health. I’ve asked him to consider counseling or other medical alternatives. Instead, he wants to talk to me until 11:30 pm or 12 am at night. I want to be there for him but I can’t. I’m tired. I’m still working VERY full time, and I was just diagnosed with early onset preeclampsia 😫

Now after 8 days again still there is no offer from their side.

Any idea how long I need to wait for the offer ?

I’ve always been aware of a y guy’s “manhood” and don’t emasculate men. I am adamant about financial boundaries; I was taught that men shouldn’t be asking me for money as a lady and I followed this advice. However, in the instance that a partner might have a financial challenge and you sense that because he doesn’t really tell you, is it ok to offer a helping hand without him asking or should you let him communicate his needs and you respond how u can. Thx
