If you try to let something go and it continues to eat at you, hold you back or elicit feelings of apathy, you likely need to process residual feelings. You will eventually reach a point where you feel and believe your struggles are behind you. Living each day in the present moment allows you to leave the past behind. Process residual feelings from the past by talking with a close friend, family member or therapist. This includes reiterating your desires to stop apathy’s affects. Not only will people want to help you, but saying it out loud will help you be accountable to yourself and your goals. If you struggle then say, "I am having a hard time and I appreciate you trying to help me. Are there any insights you can share with me about how you have struggled in the past?" Apathy is directly related to other significant problems, including issues of anxiety, stress, clinical depression, certain diseases and metabolic abnormalities. It is important to note that general feelings of apathy, especially if they last for long periods of time, can be one of the biggest indicators of clinical depression, which may be the underlying cause of your feelings.  External causes might include unhappiness at your job, your relationship, or other circumstances which leave you feeling unappreciated or underemployed. If you’re feeling unfulfilled by something that used to bring you pleasure,  determine when you started feeling this way. Has it always been so? Was it linked to a break-up, or another moment of extreme turmoil? Are you or someone you love or care about feeling uninterested by once-engaging and exciting activities, or feeling unmotivated at work or school, failing to follow through due to wasting time watching TV, playing video games, and messing around on line? Are you feeling frustrated or embarrassed being around friends who have something interesting going on in their lives, or are you avoiding your friends altogether? Introspection is the process of directly attempting to access your own internal processes. . When you figure out how and why you react to the people and things around you, then you will be able to help yourself solve many personal struggles. Only you can do the work that it takes to find the answers to these questions. Analysis can be difficult, but it can put you on a clear path toward change. One excellent step to help you get away from a self-esteem spiral is to unplug from social networking for short periods of time. You don't have to quit Facebook cold-turkey, but researchers have uncovered a measurable connection between depression and clicking through your friend's vacation photos on Facebook throughout the day. The more Facebook, the less happy. If you're really struggling, don't go it alone. Schedule an appointment to talk with a licensed therapist and discuss your struggles with apathy. Just scheduling the appointment and knowing there will be someone to talk to can help. There is a tendency to think you are the only one who experiences the thoughts and feelings you are having. You must understand that many others have felt exactly what you are feeling and have gotten the help they needed. Fight the urge to push yourself to the outside where you might isolate yourself and not get the help that you need. Find a support group through a friend, your doctor or a trusted online source. Knowing you are not alone, will help you find the strength to make the changes you desire. With each action you take, a layer of apathy can be released. When you give yourself the opportunity to create a new way of looking at life, your confidence will build and feelings of apathy will fall away. Ridding yourself of apathy is not a quick-fix, but each step you take builds momentum that will carry you to the next step, and the next, and the next until you are free from feeling apathetic.

Combine one part Pearl Ex pigment with two parts clear embossing powder, mixing them together in a small bowl with a plastic spoon until evenly blended.  The exact amount of embossing powder you need will vary depending on how dramatic you want the effect to be and how thin the paper is. More absorbent paper requires a greater amount of embossing powder. For use with an average sized stamp and heavy cardstock, 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) Pearl Ex pigment and 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) clear embossing powder should be sufficient. Load a stamp with clear embossing liquid and press the stamp firmly onto a heavy sheet of paper.  cardstock and other heavy-weight papers work better than light papers do. Make sure that the surface you want to emboss faces up as you stamp it. Alternatively, you could spread the clear embossing fluid on a stamp pad instead of applying it directly to the stamp itself. Load the stamp with the treated ink of the pad before stamping it onto the paper. After stamping the image, thoroughly clean away all of the embossing fluid from the stamp. If the embossing fluid is left on the stamp, it can harden and ruin the rubber. Gently sprinkle the enhanced embossing powder over the stamped design. Make sure that the entire design has been covered by the powder. Lift the paper and carefully tip it upside-down so that the majority of excess powder will fall off. Gently tap the back of the paper to encourage the excess powder to drop. Pass a heat gun over the entire design. Continue heating the area until the lines of the design lift above the surface of the paper.  Hold the heat gun 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) away from the surface of the paper and move it around continuously as you apply the heat. Using too much concentrated heat can result in scorch marks, so you need to work carefully during this step. Use tissue paper, tracing paper, coffee filters, or another patch of soft paper to wipe away any excess Pearl Ex powder. Once the excess has been removed, the project is complete.  Allow the area to cool and set for one to two minutes before brushing away any excess powder. If soft paper is not available, you could brush away the excess with a soft-bristled paintbrush.
