I'm the INFJ woman in question So, the blues. They've come. And settled upon my life, due to tons of difficult situations in the past year that are littered all over this forum wherever relevant. Not what I'm asking about here.
What do you do to regain motivation? I'm overwhelmed (not that I've been working particularly hard, I think that the aforementioned blues are just decreasing my capacity so much that any normal-person 40-hour week feels overwhelming). I have a very flexible, interesting, stimulating, and self-directed research position -- but as night approaches, I am dreading tomorrow. I don't want to wake up and deal with my deluge of e-mails, wading through data, etc. Is this the time where I take the morning off and go out and do something different / fun? I've read that sometimes when you're feeling totally overwhelmed, you should just take a break and try to remember what having fun feels like (though the blues inhibit this a lot).
I also exercise a lot (weightlifting, hot yoga, aerobic stuff), and I'm getting help with the blues / life events, just in case.
