Train of Thought
Lately I have been attempting to brainstorm new projects to invest my time into and possibly make a profit/make a living out of it but I find myself distracted by going on unnecessary rail thoughts that end up in a complete train wreck!
For example, I'm brainstorming this idea for a website and then I get caught up on some minor detail for hours and then I completely lose interest, as a matter of fact, this is not something exclusive to my brainstorming, instead this is a pattern that I have noticed happening to me more and more in the past few years, where I lack the motivation or discipline to actually execute projects through, I have ideas, I write them down, sometimes I do the initial work on them and then end up dropping them, sometimes I don't even get to the building stage, I just write them down and forget about them.
It feels like I can't commit to anything and it stresses me out because sometimes it makes me feel stuck and like I'm making no progress in advancing my career and improving my life and it stresses me out again and again and I feel its that stress that makes me abandon these ideas in the first place, so it has become like a self-fulfilling prophecy of inefficiency, where I am stressed because I feel like I am not going to go tru with it and then that very same stress makes me drop the idea and that gets me even more stressed.
I've been trying to fix this for a while, reading and watching videos in how to handle the stress and how to truly focus your energy on a project you want to take on without abandoning it or procrastinating, because this is really hurting me mentally, especially in these past fews months. I feel like more and more of a train about to get wrecked (again)...
Has anyone here faced this issues? Any tips in how to improve this? I'm sure I'm not the only one because I have read about people having similar issues but I just can't get to work it out. I've lately gone deep into blaming my environment for not allowing my to completely grow and be who I want to be but thats just a lame excuse, people in worse situations have come out of it...
Thanks for taking the time to read me!

It’s a touch feeling to beat man. All you can really do is keep trying and not be so hard on yourself. Advice I don’t take well myself hehe. Sometimes you just got find the little things in life and enjoy them.
I’ve had so many failures and things not ever work out at all. Just feels like I’m wasting year after year after year. It can be hard to want keep going sometime. Wish I had an answer but if I did I’d be using it myself.
I myself don’t even feel like making a post for a while. Have a great rest of the weekend.
