The "Funk" is real JTKelly. No denying it. In the past, how have you moved through it? What seems to have worked?I had my regular appointment for meds and lecture. Everything was just as bad as I thought it would be, except for the weight. At 211, that could have been a lot worse.
Just have to get past this lull in attitude and get back on the program before it gets any worse.
I don't know you or your situation so please take all of this with a grain of salt. Here are some of the things I've used:
---After Ella our Beagle mix died, I borrowed the neighbors 6 year old labarador to hike the woods/walk. Good for my soul, gave them a tired dog. Win/Win.
---Stopped listening to the negative voices in my life (some of them in my own head).
---Engaged an Accountability Partner (my 81 year old Dad, but it could be anyone I trust) who will encourage me without OVERLY judging me.
---Stopped listening to the OVERLY Judging people in my life.
---listen to the Daily Stoic on YouTube. Listened to the songs of the 70's which were IMHO better written and more positive than, oh, I don't know, Grunge Rock.
---recall this from the Daily Stoic:‘You could be good today,’ the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote. ‘But instead you choose tomorrow.’
---I was listening to an interview and I'll see if I can post it here with Ray Cash Care. He said his wife says this every day first thing in the morning and just before she shuts her eyes every night "I may not Win, but I will not Lose - you only Lose if you Quit". I've hijacked it as my own and though I don't know the guy, I suspect Ray Cash Care would be OK with that. Honestly? I'm too old and was too uninspired when I was young to go SF. I'm OK with my past, but I've learned a ton from listening to this, over the course of a week. I've taken notes, revisited them. Best to you. I hope some of this helps.
