Hey yall,

As the title would suggest, all this studying has me down bad.

Studying for the PMP has been one of the most mentally exhausting things I’ve done in a long time. Not because the material is impossible but because it requires consistency, discipline, and showing up even when my brain is absolutely cooked after working full time and just life in general. I know my “why” (prove it to myself, personal development goals, etc) but sometimes that doesn’t seem enough.

Studyhall has got me in the dumps, bout halfway through and averaging low to mid 60s. The perfectionist in me is gonna be the death of me lol i’m about to go to a friend‘s birthday party, and I’m ashamed to say that part of me doesn’t want to go, and just look over wrong answers and understand why I got things wrong.….i gotta chillax.

I’ve realized this exam is less about memorizing more about proving to yourself that you can do hard things without immediate reward.

So I’m looking for inspiration.

Drop your:
- favorite “doing hard shit” videos
- speeches
- movie scenes
- Reddit posts
- comeback stories
- study motivation
- anything that helped you push through when your mental health was taking hits

I need some good energy from people who fought through something difficult and came out stronger on the other side.

Future PMP me better be worth this 😂 I’m praying/crossing my fingers for you all who are also in the throes of this.
