There is always strength to fulfill the desire. Internal Accounting issues resources specifically for this item of expenditure: “The desire to eat is three units of energy. Favorite thing – thirty-four.” This rule may not work at all in depression, because this is a particularly difficult condition. But for those who are not in it, great news: if you really want something, you will have enough strength for it. Then why does stupor and “no energy” attack? There are two main reasons: 1 ️⃣ This is not exactly your desire. Imposed by society or cut down to “realistic” scales. In the first case, everything is elementary: you turn to the accounting department for financial assistance for a “lip-rolling machine”, and there only travel and ice cream are planned in the budget. And they won’t let you go to the lip-sealing shop, but you’re welcome to go to the road to Altai. I had this situation with English for 15 years: from all sides they kept saying “it’s a shame not to know English”, “they’ll pay more”, and I tried to learn - not because I wanted to and it is necessary, but because it is said - “everyone wants to know him.” As soon as her own desire appeared, with which language is connected, at the very least, she spoke in two months. In the second case, you want, for example, to work four hours a day for pleasure and receive 80 thousand a month, but you think that this unrealistic, and choose to want “a decent office job for 40 thousand.” And then you worry that you won’t be able to force yourself to edit and send out your resume. But the point is not abstract laziness, imaginary lack of talent or real fatigue, but the fact that you don’t want to go to the office for forty years. In this place, I always imagine that I’m terribly hungry, and specifically potatoes and a cutlet. I go up to the food court, where there is everything, and I think that potatoes are too arrogant, I’ll go and drink some water... Well, that’s absurd. I’m ready to stand in line for lunch, but not in line for hunger. 2️⃣ Your desire is strong, but limiting beliefs or fears stop you from acting: “What if it doesn’t work out?” “Who am I to take a chance on this?” “It’s a shame to want this when children in Africa are starving.” “My mother is into me.” doesn’t believe” “What will people say?” “Am I a trembling creature or do I have the right…” Here trauma, family history, lack of support, society’s standards and imposed criteria for success can add inhibitions (hello, friends, everyone’s success is unique, no need to navigate on Instagram and information businessmen). But if this is a real desire and it is environmentally friendly (you are not going to force, steal, kill, eat people, rape, set fire to houses, violate the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), then these fears and attitudes are not only possible, but also worth changing. We are not in the world to live up to other people's expectations. We're here to live our own lives.
