I feel completely unmotivated lately.
I finally had my self back to working out at least three times weekly in January/February, but then I got sick. I had a flu/cold one week in Feb, and then the next week I got Norwalk virus so that put me out for a good week or so. I am finally feeling back to 100%, but I can't find the push to work out like I had before.
Another thing is that I have to update my resume and write a cover letter for this job I will be applying to in April. I also wanted to have a unit planned and ready to show at the interview, but I cannot bring myself to put it all together. I thought over March Break I would get it all done, but nope I procrastinated ![]()
What do you do to find motivation to do things you don't really love to do?
Re: No motivation
Usually DH helps me with that... But I will confess... I haven't ran in a couple weeks (not completely my fault, I'm currently injured) and I haven't picked up my school work either (hopefully tonight). DH is good at motivating me without putting too much additonal stress on me. So, I don't have any self motivating tips.
Arg... and the resume... I have to get working on mine as well, I've supposed to have been since October. I tend to have faith that it'll all work out and I won't need to apply for anything else (internal or external) as this transitions winds up.
For motivation in regards to working out:
- Watching a show like Last Ten Pounds, Biggest Loser, etc
- Reading fitness blogs
- Looking at pictures of myself 45lbs heavier. That always works.
For the other stuff I am at a loss.
Thanks for the tips. DH usually is good at getting my butt in gear, but sometimes he's too good that it gets annoying :P
I looked at my resume this morning and started fixing it up, so yay!
But I also procrastinated on the resume and exercising last night by starting to pack for our move. Even though I still have a little less than two months to do that.
