get motivated

I’m certainly not yet as industrious as I would like to be, but I seem to have shaken a good portion of the lethargy that consumed me for a number of months. Could it have been depression? Seems likely…. There’s more to do, but I feel better again.

It seems as if the whole world is passing me by and i am so frustrated that i cant seem to summen the motivation to do anything about it. Everyone I know is working towards their plans and dreams and i seem to sit and daydream and never end up doing anything about it. I am most definatly in a rut and i know i need to get out of it i just cant seem to find a way out.I am an incredibly lucky person and have many oppertunities open to me but i feel like they are wasted on me as im not productivly doing anything with them. I just cant seem to find that something which will give me the kick up the arse i need. I say that but i know the only thing who can do that is me….even knowing that i cant seem to summon the courage to do it…To be honest I’m scared, scared of new tasks, new people, new places and failing.Suppose i have just got to work up the balls to just get on with it. But why is it so damn hard. Actually why DO I make it so damn hard for myself. The worst bit is I know what i need to do I just cant seem to make it happen.

This week has been much better. I had a few days to reboot last week, and this week I’ve been doing great, both at work and at home. There’s a lot of things going on this weekend, so there won’t be much time to be productive, but I’ll try anyway.

I’m slipping. For the last week or so. I can feel it. HELP!

I’ve made real progress with this goal. I’ve really been focused the last two weeks, at work and at home. My energy’s stayed high, I’m more outgoing, my memory’s better because I’m paying attention. Here’s the problem. I have no idea what changed. I find it hard to believe that I just said, let’s get motivated, and my mind and body just agreed and kicked into gear. So what changed? I wouldn’t be examining it, except I’m worried it will change back.

Whatever it is, I’ve been very good about shunning distraction recently. And the distractions I do succumb to are more positive and constructive (like 43 things).

Related to the idea that the thought of getting motivated could actually motivate me, I found a fantastic quote by Henry David Thoreau:

“Though is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be.”

I checked Learn Everything off of my list, because the time for learning is done. Too much of my Life list requires action, requires me to get outside of my head. Motivation is now the real challenge.

Somehow, I’ve got to find a way to make constructive activities as rewarding as mindless ones. And it starts first thing in the morning. When I wake up in the morning, my mind is filled with all manner of mindless activities with which I’d like to clutter my day up.

Tomorrow, for instance, I’m going to wake up in the morning and want to surf the internet during the hour when I should be preparing for work. I will admit: at the moment, I don’t have a plan for this goal.

i never want to do anything…inside i want to do all sorts of things.everything actualy…but day to day i dont seem to want to get out of bed.

Yeah!! Finally I have something to live and work for. I have a dream.

Stop sleeping all the time and get out to start meeting goals and expectations I have for myself.

I get so strung out or caught up in everything that
needs to be done, that I sabotage myself and can’t
get motivated to stick with the project. i.e.
housework. etc
