The Motivated Mind

January 1st is loud. New goals. New habits. New versions of ourselves. But a few days later, the noise fades, and what’s left feels strangely uncomfortable. No big motivation. No clarity. Just a quiet sense that you should be doing more by now. This video is about that feeling, why it shows up after the hype disappears, and why it doesn’t mean you’re behind.

So you keep searching, not for information, but for relief. This is about that loop, why it’s so hard to stop looking for answers, and what might actually be missing when nothing seems to stick.

Most days, we’re not working nonstop; we’re just never fully stopping, and if we do, we pick up our phones and call it recovery, even though we end the day feeling more depleted than we started. And when our energy disappears, we assume something’s wrong with our discipline.

Self-help used to be simple: read a book, take a walk, call your mom. Now it feels like you need a 28-step morning routine, a cold plunge, 17 supplements, and a $90 notebook just to feel like a functioning human being. Somewhere along the way, “improving your life” turned into a performance. This video is about that shift and why so much of modern self-help leaves us feeling more overwhelmed than transformed.

We rush through our days like we’re trying to speedrun life, bouncing between half-finished thoughts, half-finished tasks, and half-brushed teeth. And somehow, even on the days when nothing is actually wrong… everything still feels off. This video is about that feeling, and why you always think you’re behind, even when you’re not. New here?
