Sometimes, we think we need motivation from someone or something to move forward in life, especially when we're stuck. But before seeking motivation, it's important to understand what exactly is troubling us. Often, we don’t even know how to explain what we’re going through, even to our closest ones or those willing to help.
At times, we feel stuck, confused, and overwhelmed. It’s normal to feel this way. We lose control because we allow it, and sometimes our mind just can’t handle the weight of it all. You might have read countless motivational stories, quotes, or advice from friends. But sometimes, none of it seems to work. That’s when self-doubt starts to creep in.
This happens because we’ve trained our minds to think this way. Motivation can be powerful, no doubt. Sometimes, a single line or thought can spark change.
It’s you who makes the decisions. But you might not be taking yourself seriously enough. Our mind isn’t like a machine that can switch off negative thoughts and turn on positive ones. It’s a process, and you are the one in control of that process.
You might think you’ve done nothing significant, but managing those overwhelming, negative thoughts is no small task.
No matter how much therapeutic content you consume, it might not feel enough when you’re truly overwhelmed. And that’s natural. I’m not trying to scare you, I want you to think more openly. Sometimes, you might blame yourself when nothing seems to work, thinking you’re not good enough even when the best advice comes your way.
Negative people can leave a lasting impact because of their manipulative words. They make you believe in dreams that vanish when they leave. If you’re trying to replace negative thoughts with positive ones during moments of overthinking, you’re already doing better than you realize.
