How to gain motivation when you’re struggling with mental illness

♡ perhaps I’m writing this because I myself am currently struggling with this exact same thing but, even so, these are all my own ways of gaining motivation and I hope they will work for you as well! ♡

1- Inspiration is key.

Think about what you're trying to get motivated for and think about what it means to you or your life. Do anything and everything you can to be inspired to change your life with the things you're gonna do! Read, Write, Draw, make an inspiration board, do anything that will give you the motivation to keep going and inspire you to do.

2- Self-care comes first

Let me put it simply; if you feel like shit then you won't want to do anything. I know that self-care is hard but if you haven't eaten or showered today then doing you're homework is going to be even more of a chore than it already feels like. If your mind and body are all crusty you are just less likely to get stuff done. Prepare yourself before you try and be productive.

3- Reward yourself

Something that people often forget to do or even don't know how to do is to reward themselves. If you require a lot of positive reinforcement, you can reward yourself for every small accomplishment, if you just need some reminding that you're doing good, only reward the big accomplishments. Just remember to look back on all that you've done and know that you'll feel good if you keep going and keep doing.

4- Take! Breaks!

If you make a habit of all work and no play, then your brain is going to start hating any form of work or effort. You need breaks and you need to treat yourself, especially when you're struggling hard through problems in life while doing work.

The infantilization of japan is the craziest thing in the world to me. How can a literal country come to have the reputation of being soft kitty cat island with the animes and pokemons despite it’s very real problems with misogyny, xenophobia, nationalism, broken justice system, and etc. Like and of course I know the answer why and everyone should but like it really makes you think it really does.

[matchajpn]

Back to the basics: By “generic nouns,” we mean nouns which don’t have a particular meaning themselves, but take an important part in context like “thing” in English. Nouns like “cat” indicate only one meaning, however, the meaning of nouns like “thing” varies depending on the context. In Japanese grammatical terminology, they are called “formal nouns,” but if this confuses you, please just ignore it.
