| Topic: Losing the passion? | |

I work in mental health and as such, I often take on different personas for different clients to build rapport. I do this with different friends as well. You know- the divorced friends either want a woman-hater or one who can talk to women for them; one wants to talk nihilism, one wants you to sit in a car for three hours and not anything. I can be the shoulder to cry on or the guy who kicks you in the backside to motivate you; I can talk for hours with a 50 year old client about Disney movies because he wants nothing more than to be a kid with his parents again. I can talk to anybody, anytime about anything. However, more and more, when I am alone in my apartment, I find I really don't give a **** about much anymore. I find that I can be passionate and enthusiastic about other people's lives but am losing passion for my own. I have what I tell my client's to get- a life, but the umph isn't there much anymore.
What do you do when you lose the passion and motivation? |

Mmmmm.
Things, I know, can bring you down. Even a happy person can be overwhelmed. What I might do is..give myself permission to feel all that. Maybe a wee mourning period for what used to be. Then start over. Something new. A trip to nowhere, an Observatory maybe (it makes one feel small and puts things in perspective.) But something really different, that had you not had this period of..ennui, you might never have experienced. |

What do you do when you lose the passion and motivation? Hi TBRich, I find that having a friend or two that don't drain or expect anything from me, but instead offer me the energy replenishment via mutually enjoying and stimulating activities (I know I am going to get some comments about this statement but I mean it in a purely platonic and innocent way). For example I find that a long, exhausting hike with a group of friends that are genuinely happy with their own lives, actually rejuvenates me when my energy levels are low or depleted. I have no idea if you read much, but various philosophies e.g. understanding or reading about Reiki or balancing your chakra's could help build-up your passion for you and your own life. I am relatively new to M2 and still reading through forums but I am sure there must be people on this site that are both knowledgable and practice various techniques, and from what I have seen there are many people willing to share their experiences. |

..tb rich.. there is a term for it.. loosely. emptying your bucket in to other peoples buckets.....
.. it's a great gift to have... makes you very personable... but however! and it sounds like your . experiencing it now... it is emotionally draining and exhausting.... and these different personalities you put on... can sometimes leave you a little out of touch with your true person.. your own self... you may want to take some time.. rediscovering who you are and what makes you happy.. and leave being. everything to everybody.. for someone else. for a while.... believe me your gift of hearing and understanding.. and being able to relate to others.. is a much appreciated gift... but you will be no use to anyone. if you don't take some time to refill up your bucket... go and be you for a while... you remember who that is right... shoot I forgot what the topic was again...lol |

What do you do when you lose the passion and motivation? Looks like you forgot the all important..me time. When you hit the wall, which happens to all of us, be selfish and take time for yourself. If you don't, you won't have anything give to others. Doesn't matter what the me time is, sometimes I take myself to the movies,turn off my phone for the day, and just disappear. You sound like a good guy, you owe it to others, to take care of yourself. |

I totally agree with this. I lose the umpf quite often, usually because my clients and coworkers are energy draining. I think you have the same situation. Try meditations to balance yourself out. Surround yourself with positive happy people
