When I feel like that, I try to stay present to my experience of wanting to give up. What are the sensations of it in my body? What are the feelings of wanting to give up? What are they, I ask myself. Often times it feels like nothing or futility or a cloud of something unpleasant around me. Each time I identify it even vaguely it changes somehow. But we don’t look for it to change, but only to know it…. Hope, this might help…
I appreciate your response. I just want to turn my mind ‘off’ sometimes. But the way my mind works, it stays in overdrive and affects me physically. That’s the part that hurts. I agree with you – I won’t look for it to change, only to know it. I promise to keep your response in mind. 😊
Thank you … and stay safe.
