Killing emotions for motivation

kakashe
Do you think killing your emotions our simply stop caring about anything will help you get motivated?. Cause right now I feel like I don't care about anything in life and I feel super motivated right now. And yah I realize this doesn't make any sense but I'm still curious.

Whatever works, works. I bury my emotions all the time. But for other reasons. XD

Emotions are evil and just hold us back.......let me explain Happiness is an Illusion just to hold back the sadness for later Sadness is just something that builds up anger Anger is a power that brings hate And hate is a feeling that brings destruction But no emotions can bring about true peace

Motivation is brought on by desire and I'd count that as an emotion.

Hm good points

I'm rather intrigued by this question actually. Put simply, no. For me, I always get writers block when I'm experiencing apathy. That said, a neutral emotional "Balance" (which shouldn't be seen as a lack of emotions) is generally where I tend to be when I get motivated to do something. Of course the formula for writer's inspiration is a bit different, considering I need to have that balance, then start to tap into a slight sense of frustration, have a craving for a certain type of story, and have a sense of delightful wonder for a new idea all at once. But seriously, like I said, I'm kinda intrigued by the concept of motivation through apathy. I don't suppose you could elaborate on your situation, Kakashe. If its not too personal of course.

I cant really do it, I need all my emotions in order to narrate my tales. I got to be able to feel the whole espectrum, happiness,sadness, everything or Im unable to write.

It's the opposite for me.

Chocopyro I'm just trying to find ways to get motivated and what I said in the post seemed to work for me the night I made this post. And I actually did do stuff I had put of a long time the next day so I think that for me stop caring and killing my emotions off makes me motivated. As for what I'm going through in life it's mostly trying to get my ged which I just started yesterday because I just got the motivation a couple days ago to do it. And things like will I be able to get a job. Basically things like that and if you couldn't tell I'm extremely unmotivated and lazy.
