I have a great career, I have a girlfriend I love dearly. I chill with my friends once or twice a week usually. Spend time with my fam when I can.

I really don’t do much nowadays I just go to work, chill in the crib, maybe go shopping or to a restaurant with my shorty.

I feel kind of content but I feel like I should feel more ambitious. Not that I’m not, I am actively working towards building a better life for myself, but I just feel like maybe I could be doing more or going out more but I just don’t feel the pressure to do so. It’s almost like a content depression except I’m not sad. Idk. Thinking it’s burn out.

Y’all ever go through this?

relax and ride it out

No

F*** being ambitious

take some time to appreciate life and stuff. cats do nothing but roll around in the sun and they look happy af, you dont need to get burned out, its good to take a break from time to time, i would say even necessary

I take breaks tbh. I have days off where I just do me. I just feel like my life has progressed to a point where I’ve achieved most of what I want and am kind of just furthering that. Building my career further, studying/getting additional certifications, saving for a house, building with my girl. I haven’t worked out a lot since being in a relationship so I want to get back active and add that back to my routine.

Outside of that though, idgaf about much else.

man its time to look inward fr

cuz like u said it's not a proper depression, you got so much and you have the gratitude for it, but there's still that "meh"

nows the time to go inward im sayin. journaling, meditation, mf psychedelics! yea buddy go walk right up to the void and hit a griddy just for the flex

find a hobby that you actually care about

I feel the same except I dont have friends or a girlfriend. Family is there so thays cool but I'm just coasting thru life rn.

honestly

Find a dope hobby

start a hobby, get a bike, start reading etc you may not like at first but they might direct you to something you connect with more

Motivation is bullshit just develop some habits.

take a weekend off with your girl, book a cottage somewhere out in nature and do some shrooms. the shrooms part isn't necessary but it's nice to have a physical escape when we fall into these programmed ruts in life, it happens to everyone tbh. change of perspective always helps

thread replies crazy lmao

i’m very far from an ambitious person but look for ways at your job to level up and or skill yourself up. hit the gym if you don’t. and do everything else ppl here said too

Ultimately, I think it boils down to what notomorrow said above. Just ride it out. You "feel like" you should be feeling another way (more ambitious, etc), but you don't feel another way, you feel this way. Accept it and recognize your current feelings for what it is, continue to develop fruitful habits, and eventually it will pass.

I think we place to much emphasis on being happy all of the time. This idea forces us to try and overcorrect our behaviors to reach some sort of ideal state of mind, but we simply can't always be satisfied. Sometimes it's okay to be discontent for a bit

In all seriousness
Find god

Get a hobby that is actually enjoyable to you and just for fun sake

No, going to the gym does not count

Or have a new experience once in a while

I need to implement studying and the gym back into my routine plus find an additional hobby outside of those I guess.

Think I may start journaling. My girl does and she swears by it. Idk about psychedelics though, I used to do a lot a few years back and I feel like s*** was intense and took a tool on my brain.

I will probably do psychedelics one more time and that’s it, if I ever do them again

find a goal an focus on it

Realized this is true. I guess forming the discipline to stick to a productive routine is the most important thing, not feeling motivated.

Still hard to implement tho, easier said then done

honestly just sounds like you need to go out of town for a bit tbh, what ambitious activity do you expect yourself to be doing?
