Motivated, unmotivated - How do you deal with?

[Butters]

First and foremost: I've been making fantastic progress over the past few years. If you are doing personal development and are coming from an unhappy place, just know it takes time and is absolutely worth it. Over these past few years, my baseline happiness has seriously increased and in certain areas the best of my todays really are the worst of my tomorrows.

That being said, I still seem to follow a swinging pattern. Earlier this week I had some amazing insights that grounded me into my life purpose even deeper than before. Thought and action came together beautifully, whereas usually I'm stuck in thinking. I was following my heart and my balls and it felt fantastic.

Really Butters? Tell us more. I wasn't living for myself alright. I woke up thinking: what can I do to best serve the world today?

For these last two days I can really feel regression. Not being aligned as much, and my purpose reads like WORDS but earlier this week I could FEEL it, more than just words.

I'll continue to work on my shit, but wonder if there's a way to maintain peak states. Or we not supposed to do that as humans? We supposed to continue suffering?

There is always a cycle it seems. Life is an interesting game and it seems to be full of suffering. But it is really what you make of it and how you react to it. Your beloved pet will die, your family, friends, etc. Everything you work for in life eventually gets destroyed and a lot of the time you will watch it crumble. It makes it so pointless and so meaningful at the same time.  

I usually feel kind of like crap on the weekend, but enjoy my time off. Once Monday comes I spent all weekend thinking of new ways to improve my businesses and go at them hard all week full of energy, then rinse and repeat. But my health, mood, etc always has a swing like that. The high would not really be so good if you just felt like that all the time. The low would not be as bad if you felt like that all the time either.

I like that man, thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll start treating the weekend like a cut off point like that. Being self-employed I need that structure, but at the same time can't stand structure.

@Butters I end up getting burnt out hard if I don't stick with it. It works really well for me. Give it a shot!
