Sometimes I can fall into a rut where I feel unmotivated, low energy and start looking at the world through a negative and pessimistic lens, often questioning the very basis of what usually gets me excited and passionate about living life. I have been in that rut for the past week or so, and it is only today that I have been feeling more myself. I took this opportunity to reflect (perfect timing for Friday's episode) and really dive deep into what it is that triggers this cascade of negativity, and what I can do to reverse it. The main lesson is: be proactive in life. If you ever find yourself being passive or even worse; reactive, then check yourself and really reflect on what it is that you want out of this life and put into question your daily actions that should be furthering you towards it. In this episode I go into what got me feeling this way and the steps I am taking to get out of it, and ofc what would an episode be without a few classic livelifecomplex rants sprinkled in. At the end of the day no amount of material gain will bring lasting satisfaction to our lives and this is truly the root cause of this pseudo-depression that both I and others periodically experience: the realization that the majority of our time is spent on meaningless tasks is a hard truth to face. However, if you can not only face it but understand that correcting this is exactly where you need to start directing your energy towards - if you are searching for some sort of fulfillment in this life - then you already have a better start than most.
