At the time of writing this blog post, it had been a struggle for me. I knew I wanted to write a blog post, and I couldn't think of a topic. I hadn't been feeling well, and everything seemed to be hard to focus on and do. I had the COVID vaccine and an allergy shot. It hit me hard.
I talked with my husband about the struggle of a topic, and he said maybe you should write a blog post about this subject. What keeps you going?
It is hard to be inspired when you just aren't feeling it. :) I'm sure we all have felt that way some time or another.
Pushing through it happens daily for people going to a job they hate.
How do they get through it?
Is it a mindset of "I have bills to pay, a family to feed, or goals to achieve to make my life easier, and people are relying on me?"
What keeps you going when you don't feel like doing it?
I think we sometimes put heavy expectations on ourselves as well. So what if I didn't write a blog post this week? I'm sure my followers would understand or maybe not even notice that I missed a week. I love coaching, writing, podcasting, blogging, and traveling; it inspires me, and my hope is it inspires others.
We all go through things in our lives that can throw us out of wack. It could be a hopeless mindset, family circumstances, a tyrant boss, health issues, or a tragedy. How do we move past it and keep going?
Something to believe in or the will of not giving up?
I asked my followers - What keeps you going - when you feel like giving up?
Here are some of the comments:
Look around you
Never thought to give up, but after a long exhausting day, just seeing my dogs makes me at peace again
