The goals have disappeared. There is no drive, no charge. What to do?

Low mood, low energy and losing interest can be difficult to live with. They may occur for different reasons, including depression, and an article cannot determine the cause. If they persist or affect daily life, talk to an appropriate healthcare professional. The ideas below may support self-care; they are not a diagnosis or a guaranteed treatment. Elena Krechko’s background includes MCC coaching and corporate psychological work.

Irina Khakamada, Russian entrepreneur, public figure, presenter of original motivational courses, former deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation says:

1 We may experience a lack of energy due to lack of sleep and inadequate nutrition. Therefore, sleep and nutrition, filling you with substances beneficial for health and energy, are the basis, the foundation from which the development of a healthy or unhealthy life and activity history begins! A full, high-quality sleep is the basis of your mental health! We correct it by delving deeper into the study of this issue!

2 We spend our energy on resolving our internal conflicts. Imagine what result you will achieve if, day after day, you do what you do not like, or what you define for yourself as worthless and useless in your personal life and in your professional activities? At a certain point in your life, you will face physical and emotional exhaustion, a feeling of boredom and apathy. “How and can I help myself?” - you ask. Of course you can! You do not have to manage it alone; professional and practical support can be part of the next step. There is a phrase: “Get out of where it is bad! Just be sure to get out!” How? With the help of various physical and mental practices, meditation, art therapy practices, aimed at regular work with a psychologist or psychotherapist that promotes you. Ongoing strain can affect how you feel, but physical symptoms do not prove that you have made the wrong choices or failed to resolve an inner conflict. New or persistent symptoms need appropriate medical assessment.

Having resolved internal conflicts, you will be able to prioritize and direct the focus of your attention, physical and mental activity to what is really important to you.
