Everyone talks about growth mindset and consistency, but how do you stay motivated when life is just too much? Work stress, family responsibilities, and just trying to survive in SG’s expensive lifestyle it's very exhausting 🥲 Some days, I just want to exist without thinking about “improving myself.” Is this normal, or am I just lazy? For those who’ve cracked the self-motivation code, what actually works long-term?

Omg, I relate so much. The constant pressure to hustle and improve can be exhausting. Some days, I just let myself exist.. no guilt, no productivity pressure. 1 thing I found helped me was.. finding joy in the small things (like good food, a fav playlist, or just chilling with friends). Self-motivation isn’t just about improving, but knowing when to rest. You got this! 💪
