Lack Of Motivation - Tumblr Posts
Aiight, imma fight this lack of motivation.
I'm having trouble with motivation for working out because it's very hard to get access to HRT where I live, don't think I'll be getting on T any time soon, and that makes me lose motivation because it's basically impossible to get as much muscle as a cis man without T. Been working out for over a year but haven't even reached the average natural muscle mass of a cis man.
Any advice?
Be patient with yourself. T is definitely helpful, but even then it doesn’t work overnight to magically make everything as easy as it is for a cis guy. tbh it’ll always be harder for us, but that just shows how dedicated and disciplined we are in comparison and that’s invaluable. Keep going and you’ll be so happy you had a strong base when you start T and you’ll see changes way faster than other people. I wish I had the confidence to exercise more pre-T, but I stopped for several years because I was paralyzed by dysphoria.
I’d also look into any mobile hrt clinics or mutual aid networks in your area/state if you’re in America, but obvs you don’t have to disclose that.
Lol and those 20 min are cumulative for me as in 5 min here, 1 min here always followed by exhaustion
Does anyone else get those random rushes of motivation like, “I’m gonna be so fucking successful dammit, watch me”
art is fucking hard
"I should do my physical therapy now because it takes me an hour" vs nooooooo
I want to write but I have no motivatiooooooooon. I have a doc open in front of me and just. What does my brain want from me? To use my fingers to type? To make words from my brain? Ewe.
swear to god i’ll have like six wips that i’m working on simultaneously and like. i’m making good progress on all of them, but my brain refuses to just work on one until it’s finished. so it’ll look like i’m not getting anything done when i am, just not all on the same project. i wish there was a way for me to get my squirrel brain to work on one thing from start to finish on command, but i have what they call the Neurodivergence and when i come to my brain on my knees begging for a crumb of motivation it laughs like i am its miserable court jester and sends me to the dungeon to doom scroll
