motivate myself

Trying to shake of this depression and make some coherent decisions.

A I will apply for that job this week
B I will apply for that programme
C I will look into volunteering if I don’t get short listed
for that job.
D I will contact agencies and ask whether they will consider me
given my qualifications.

Then I will come back here and review my progress in the next four weeks.

There. Coherent decisions made upon some research and reflective thinking. I can come back here for reference if I start to doubt or second guess my decisions again.

sometimes i just want to waste a day doing nothing, but i should probably spend it doing something productive. i’ve recently learned that life can’t be spent dillydallying without a purpose and a drive. a lot of us do take life for granted, especially the smallest of things that we are capable of (waking to an alarm, getting up in the morning, feeding ourselves, etc). working with children with disabilities has definitely opened up my eyes. so, as of now, they are my motivation to get up every day and do something with my life because i can.

I definitely motivated myself today: shopping, exercise, working on my course, cooking. But I can do so muh more! It’s part of my self motivation to actually believe this and keep having days like this as the norm and adding more creative and personally fulfilling activities to the mix.

i want to be punctual,doingthings by myself and a success ful man

well i just cant seem to get motivated to do anything! and im a worry wart

Today I’m feeling quite motivated, not really sure why.
I am looking forward to the future, I think whatever happens I have realised it will be my making.

As James Brown said ‘you don’t work…you don’t eat’, it’s as simple as that. I hate to go back to work this week but if I don’t how will I fund my big plans?

I just need to think like this, all the work that I will be doing will enable me to pay for all the things that I want, whatever I want. Each working day = One step closer to my plans for change, personal progression and fun.

I have to write an essay, too, and I totally agree – there is no need to make this hard for myself! If I could only get over that initial hurdle and get into a routine of working on it… I have done it before, why is it not working now? I think I may have to hide for a couple of weeks and just work on my essays and not let anything distract me… at least then I can enjoy it more when I do take time out.

(1) If I dont start to pull my weight my life will stay the same year after year as it has done.

(2) I wont get the things I have wanted to do since I was 19 done: Getting an article published, driving, travelling etc

(3) I will be a waste of a person, just a ball of potential energy but nothing more I am only young once I need to make the most of myself- my looks, my energy, my creativity

(4) I will continue to bump into people who dont want me to succeed when I least expect it looking like I’m not succeeding, even if I am.

(5) I need to get out of the slump Im in because everybody around me has more or less left me behind and forgotten about me. I need to forget about them too and not spend time on facebook watching other people live their lives through smiling glossy photographs with tropical back drops and get on with fulfilling my own.
