Dear friend, it sounds like you may be experiencing some resistance towards working on your thesis. This is a common challenge that many people face when faced with a daunting task. It can be frustrating to feel like you're not making progress, and it's easy to fall into a pattern of procrastination when you're feeling overwhelmed. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to remember that all things are impermanent, including this feeling of resistance. It will pass, and you will find the motivation to get back to work.
From a psychological perspective, it can be helpful to identify the root causes of your resistance. Are you feeling anxious about the quality of your work? Are you worried about meeting a deadline? Are you feeling burnt out or overwhelmed? Once you understand the underlying causes of your resistance, you can work on developing strategies to overcome it. This might involve breaking your work down into smaller, more manageable tasks, setting realistic goals and deadlines, and practicing self-compassion.
As a coach, I would suggest that you start by setting a small goal for yourself, such as working on your thesis for 30 minutes each day. This can help you build momentum and get back into a productive routine. It can also be helpful to create a supportive environment for yourself, whether that means finding a quiet place to work or enlisting the help of a friend or mentor. Remember to celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and to practice self-compassion when you're feeling stuck.
