Oh, Crappy Day! We all experienced those days when waking up feels like being hit by a truck, and the idea of tackling our to-do list is daunting. It's as if a heavy cloud has descended, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Fortunately, psychology has a lot to say about why we feel this way and, more importantly, what we can do about it.
Feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated often results from a mix of psychological factors. One main contributor is burnout – a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion due to prolonged stress. When we push ourselves too hard without adequate rest and self-care, our bodies and minds rebel, leaving us drained.
Recognizing this, we can take steps to avoid the prolonging of these low times by setting up a support system to prevent it from escalating. We can keep crappy moments from turning into crappy days, weeks or even months. We may not get to choose not ever to experience "negative" emotions, challenges, or hard times. We do get to choose not to perpetuate our problems by lingering there for too long.
"We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated." - Maya Angelou
