Rejuvenated

         Do you ever have those days, weeks or months, where your mood is a flat line of apathy and lack of self motivation? I sure have. This past week was one of those times where you just cannot bring yourself to do anything. Class today? It takes every ounce of you to go and try and participate. Going out with your friends? You would rather stay at home doing anything but having to be around another living soul. Plans on working out  ? Let's be serious, you barely have enough motivation to get yourself out of bed, put on a sweatshirt and drive to campus. Assignments seem impossible and the only other emotion you have other than a lack of caring is caring too much? Worry, self-doubt, anxiety. That speech you have due this week seems less appealing than having glass in your eyes and your body literally hurts because the internal stress has become so overwhelming but you are not doing anything to change it. The best part is there is no actual reason for the onset of this mood, it just happens. Which makes you feel even more stupid for shutting yourself away and feeling overwhelmed. 

Then...........

         You wake up one day and it's as if someone came to you while you were sleeping and shocked your near lifeless body with a defibrillator. When you wake up, you go through the motions but are slightly intrigued to see what your day holds. You read your  novel and eat your lunch outside, soaking up the sweet sunshine and feeding your soul. Your feel like an archer and your papers, midterms and assignments are poor souls without shields that you will hit right on the bulls-eye. They no longer scare you. You are a warrior and today is filled with your victories. Today is the end of the rag doll life and the beginning of adventures. 

Let's keep this up :)
