Thinking but doing nothing.

[DevonBlimke]

kind of just a quick poll

Do you ever lay in bed some nights, and all you can think about is how you’re going to try and improve your day tomorrow, you’re feeling really good you might even fall asleep content for once and not riddled with fear and emotion. You do all this planning just to do absolutely nothing with yourself the next day because you don’t know how to approach the world without the fear of judgment, fear of thinking maybe everyone thinks Im too far gone and they would also question as to why I’m even making an effort. So I do nothing about it.

I used to do this but realized I was just wasting time not sleeping. We have all day to think about how to improve, what we need to do, and areas we have to do better....but we need to sleep. Without sleep we can't do any of those things well performance wise. We'll wake up bothered, lethargic, and perhaps bothered by a nightmarish dream where we didn't fulfill things. Nothing is wasted until you've exhausted yourself of all hope, faith, and self-worth. Even in the ugliest times, we must pull our head above water and keep paddling. Keep fighting...for most of us, there are no breaks or easily solutions. We must advocate for ourselves and just continue to try to put our best self forward. Any judgement can go to the side; this especially if you're trying and working towards and on yourself. So, to sit in bed worrying about all the things you can't do without a good rest, it's just a waste...even if it sucks to have to put it on the back burner. When it's bed time, all thoughts go in the metaphorical inbox to be dealt with later. When you wake up from consistent good sleep, your brain is operating better and has a better emotional state to deal with how difficult sometimes the cards are dealt. That's my take on it...and I don't always follow my own advice, but I'll keep trying.

Just woke up from some pretty decent sleep paralysis to this answer. 😂 You couldn’t have said it better it’s just hard to find a way to actually obtain that sleep like you said sometimes it’s just a constant battle no matter what. Awake or asleep lol. But I do agree sitting in bed bothered with life is a complete waste of time but even then sometimes I wake up in the morning and I’m glad I took the time out of my night to think and some days I just regret every bit of it 😂... just a huge head game I have no exact take on this, every day is a very very specific routine but my anxiety makes it seem like I do so much in a day when I don’t at all. Im finding myself cleaning the entire house before falling asleep just to have an excuse to “be tired” when it’s probably just the want to stay up and worry

I do this sometimes. It is a very difficult thing to deal with. I think everyone deals with this to some degree in their lifetime. It is hard to stay motivated. Try making goals for each day to complete and see if this works for you! I hope everything gets better!
