I want to change and go back to my old self, but it's really hard to break unhealthy habits. It's not like I become rebellious and such. I'm just a mediocre person who does fine at school, has few trusted friends, obedient to her parents, blah blah. The thing is, I want to be better than what I am now but there's always something that's stopping me. I easily get overwhelmed with school works, I always feel tired, lazy, and unmotivated. Just like now, instead of doing my tasks, I'm right here typing everything out. I really hate myself. What to do..

This sounds JUST like me when I was in school. I used to look at others, they studied so well and were so smart and got amazing grades. I always felt lazy and unmotivated. But the thing is.. I got to my final year of school, I stressed out, finally studied hard and actually got decent grades. And then I realised I could actually have done better...
BUT years have passed, and I can tell you, school matters, but not that much. You're right to not be rebellious, listen to parents "blah blah blah", but don't be too hard on yourself. When you get out of school, and even years after, however long it takes - you get the chance to find things you really want to do, and achieve and love. The motivation comes differently after school ends. So get through school, at a pace you will be satisfied with.
Set timers, even something as little as 20minutes. Do the homework for as short as 20minutes. If that 20 minutes is up, and you are still not motivated, still lazy and not concentrating. Then take a break, do a hobby for a bit (whether its exercise, drawing, writing, a game). Then come back to it and try again. 20minutes. If you do 20minutes and realise you can keep going for longer, CONTINUE. When you're not so hard on yourself, those days that are productive feel amazing (:
ReplyHi~ Just wanna say thank you for your advice. <3 Like what you've said, I don't wanna say things such as "I could've done better" in the future. Your words actually motivated me. Thanks again. <33
ReplyEverybody feels overwhelmed. Take a day off. And I don't mean, "spend the day in bed." Do something away from your normal routine. Take a different route, leave your phone at home, explore.
ReplyWill definitely do. <3 Thank you!
