Feel you buddy! Lost my father and got demotivated with my job, but felt even worse when I stop working on my project! I think I just found myself when I decided to get back on it! I am sure it’s sth you’ve been dreaming about for quite some time rn! Don’t drop it and remember why you started 🥂
@jonathantahiry I am actually in a similar boat, mum was unwell and a bunch of other personal life shit has been getting in the way. Going to try and just throw myself back into work to get the motivation back Thanks for your words of encouragement, made a big difference to me!

@william_mathews1 glad it could help! Dropping you a follow, so waiting for the day you launch 🚀 (no pressure though, enjoy it)

It happens to the best of us. Allow yourself to be demotivated, even embrace that instead of blaming yourself further. Create a space and time for you to just be whatever you want.

I think the more you try to separate your emotions and what you do (with regards to work), the easier it is to work through the tough times. Sometimes working on your own stuff and getting absorbed into something can help if you are having a tough time. The other thing is that action often needs to come before motivation. Motivation comes from action. How about picking something to do that feels easy to get started and try and build momentum from that?
