Apathy - when we have lost all motivation

 

There are times when we feel so flat that we cannot put a name to it. It may not be clinical depression but we feel numb, indifferent.  Our lack of energy makes us feel permanently tired which in itself stops us from finding a solution.

This state of affairs may stem from a long-standing situation or series of stresses or there may be no apparent cause.  But the fact is, we are apathetic, so resigned to how life is that we can hardly discern anything needs changing. In this state of ill-being we are not actually living in the present.  Our focus is adrift, it no longer seems to belong to us.  As Tessa Jordan, BFRP, expresses it, ‘We have given away our power’.  Without that power we are unable to love,  create, and find joy.

There may be many areas in our life where we feel unable to exert any power, but control over our thoughts and outlook is always ours and ours alone.  No-one can take that away from us.  But to manifest our freedom of choice, we need to bring our focus and energy into the present so that we can 'wake up' and find the motivation to reclaim our power.   The flower essence to help with that is Wild Rose.
