Probably, every person has been in a situation when you don’t want to do anything, but you still have to work.
The best thing to do in this case is to plan a vacation and find out why you feel apathetic and exhausted.
In the meantime, you can support yourself with any phrase from the list below.
1. I'll just start and then see what happens next. And if I can't continue, I'll finish right away.
There is a high probability that you will get carried away with the task and, feeling a surge of energy, you will be able to cope with a large piece of work. Well, if not - no big deal. It means it is time to rest and return to your duties after a short break.
2. I will work for only 10 minutes.
In principle, this promise is similar to the previous one, because sometimes we are afraid to take on a task because we believe that there is a lot of difficult work ahead of us.
But in 10 minutes you are unlikely to feel tired. Even if you decide not to continue doing the task when the time is up, the big plus is that you have already made a start. This means that next time it will be easier for you to start working.
3. What would my favorite character do now?
Why tell yourself this phrase? Its purpose is to remove unnecessary seriousness and look at what is happening as a game. It is quite possible that new ways of coping with a difficult task will open up to you.
Also, if you imagine that an alter ego has started working, you will cope with the fear of making a mistake, because the responsibility for mistakes lies with the fictional character, and not with you.
4. I am smart and a good girl, even if it is not easy for me now
Fatigue and loss of energy make it impossible for us to assess the situation objectively. That’s why it may even seem that bad mood and lack of motivation have become our constant companions.
It is not surprising that in such conditions we stop believing in our own strength. Therefore, it is always useful to remind yourself that you are great.
