6 Habits I Built When Motivation Was Gone
Motivation didn’t disappear all at once. It faded slowly, quietly, until one morning I realized it was gone. I remember sitting on the edge of my bed, phone in my hand, staring at reminders I no longer cared about. Goals I once chased excitedly now felt heavy. Even simple tasks felt exhausting. People around me kept saying, “Just stay motivated,” but they didn’t understand the truth—I wasn’t lazy, broken, or weak. I was drained.

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's hard to know where to begin with this. I've perhaps given a hint that it's been a bit of an ordeal from my title, and in most respects, it has; on the other hand, there's the case to be made that it really hasn't been so out of the ordinary at all, just this amazing thing called "life" with its highs and its lows.
