I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim #Freedom #Five precepts 🔹Question:   I'd always been driven by these big ideas, passion, all these abstract thoughts, goals, dreams and things like that. But a few months ago, I had been sick for a couple of months with COVID. I initially thought it'd be just like any other cold, but it put me in a really big depressive spiral. I couldn't do much, I was just home just lying down. It was not because of physical sickness. Mentally I didn't want to do anything. Now, I think I'm fully recovered. But I find myself not caring about any of the things that used to drive me, like all these goals, missions, visions, and thoughts. Even though I'm fully recovered now, I just feel super lazy about everything and anything and I don't care about much. I've been going to work. I have a habit of going to work. So, I still go to work, but I don't care about work anymore.I don't care about my performance or doing well, I just do the minimal amount that I need to put in, and I just come home. The same applies to everything. Maybe this is the new normal, the old me will come back. But it's been like this for a while, and it's a very new thing for me. I just feel like I don't want to do much. So, what I wanted to check with you is, "What's my next step here?" Do I just get up in the morning and try to do my 108 bows diligently, and call that good? Or is there something else that I need to be looking out for?   🔻Jungto Dharma School (Introduction to Buddhism): https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 Find more at the following links: http://www.jungtosociety.org http://www.pomnyun.com https://www.instagram.com/jungto.society/ https://www.instagram.com/ven.pomnyun.sunim/ https://www.facebook.com/pomnyundailyquote https://insighttimer.com/jungtokorea  🔻 All Jungto Society’s social platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint
