thanks for this interesting post.
now i understand better why i can't even motivate myself...i'm struggling in negative thoughts and i can't easily get out of this vicious circle. the most i try to motivate myself, the most i have negative thoughts, thinking i can't even motivate myself...
most of times you shouldn't think, just do it! without thinking anything. and then while you do it, you feel better. you have reached something: you have overcomed your negative thoughts!
(sorry for my english writing..i'm out of practice...)
good night and positive wishes
