When we work for a long time towards a goal but don’t make the progress we would like it can be easy to lose motivation. When this happens we can get so frustrated that it feels like we no longer care if we reach our goal or not. The work we are doing seems so fruitless that we just don’t want to try anything else.
Today we are going to tap for when we lose our motivation and just don’t care if we get there or not.
I Just Don’t Care Any More
(audio 4m11s)
At one point I was really excited about this goal…At one point I know it was something I really wanted…At one point it was all I cared about…But that feels like a distant memory…Almost as if it was someone else…As I work towards this goal…It feels like I’m just spinning my wheels…That my efforts have been wasted…That I’m not making the progress that I would like…And it just feels like I’m getting nowhere…And so because of that it’s become a little hopeless…All of that fire…All of that excitement…All of that enthusiasm…Feels like it’s melted away…That I just can’t get up for this…I just don’t care anymore…I’ve just lost touch with the goal…I recognize the fact that sometimes it’s hard…I recognize that this is a process…Sometimes there are many more steps than I wanted…Sometimes it goes slower than I hoped…But somewhere inside of me…There’s a part of me that recognizes the fact…That this goal is still important…This goal is still something I want…This goal is something that I want to move into…This goal is something I want to go after…And I don’t have to have the energy to do it all…I don’t have to have the energy to do everything…I simply give myself permission…To know that it is OK…That sometimes my enthusiasm wanes…That it’s alright that I feel like I don’t care…But in these moments of not caring…I give myself permission to look at the big picture…I give myself permission to look at it all…To know that it is OK…To take a nice deep breath…To restart and reset…To look at the big picture again…And to start to take action.
