How do you find motivation to do things?

Recommended Posts

For example I have no motivation to get a girlfriend or date girls even if I really want one and it is probably the only thing that could make me happier than I am now. I just can't be arsed to deal with the everyday drama. My last girlfriend was a pain in the ass, she f*cked me over all day, she had mood changes and I got hurt because she told me we can't work out a relationship (she admitted she was f*cked up). I am pretty straight forward thinking and I see I am not compatible with girls mentality in this aspect. Not only this, but many others (I am direct, honest, I say what I have in mind, I don't want bullsh*t talking, I know girls want sex as much as men so why all those fake words to build up attraction?).

 

Also, I can't find motivation to study even if my grades are kind of sh*t (I've been through that and I dealt well with it), I want to eat properly but I give up after three or four days of dieting, I want to go to gym but I can't be arsed to put much effort in it. If I don't see results quickly, I give up.

 

I am not depressed at the moment. I was depressed for years until I got some sh*t sorted in my life (built a social circle and we were doing lots of things that made me happy and forgot about depression), I just believe I am extremely lazy but I can't fight it.

If that's the case then get off your ass and just f*cking do it. Really. If you need motivation, think of the day when your bad grades will come back and bite you in the ass. Sounds harsh but that's just the way it is. Edited by Andreaz1

basically this. The toughest part is to just start doing whatever it is you need to get done. And yes, those bad grades will end up screwing you over in the long run OP so crack open the books :^:

Reward yourself, man! If you need to go for a run, then run to the nearest 7/11 and buy you some sweet blueberry muffins.

I have confidence in my abilities so when I want to do something I just...do it. I don't try to do things, I do them, or I do not do them. I was never good in school (I decided to do construction work) so I can't really help there.

 

One thing to remember about getting girls is that they are attracted to success. If you're looking your best, doing your best, girls will come to you naturally.

Wow, this is pretty stupid.

  • ... "get" a girlfriend? As if they're all aching to date you?
  • ... The "only" thing that could make you happier? Not good, posting an impossible ultimatum(he he that's a jab)
  • ... your bad experience with one girl does not speak for all people of the same gender.
  • ... not all girls think the same way, the same way not all men do. All people think differently. There is no set of rules of thinking to which each gender must conform.
  • ... really, stop with the generalizations and assumptions.

I pretend there's an insect in my sphincter that will only go away if I do the thing I couldn't be motivated to do.

I don't think taking a magnifying glass and picking apart every single little piece of his post and whining about it is going to help him.

I think I've been a passive dummy for long enough that the little green men inside me telling me to f*ck and work for a living have all died off. This will someday be a good thing if I can prove to the government that I'm as incapable as I feel.

I'm mad at myself. I go to all team functions and workouts that I know can make me better, I don't do enough things in my own time that could make it better. I'll watch an inspirational video, then say "it's pretty late right now and I don't want to wake anybody up, I'll do it tomorrow" and I never end up doing it. I have big dreams to make it into Junior hockey, then the NCAA but I'll get nowhere if I don't start doing things in my own time like speed and explosiveness training. I need help, how do I get motivation on the spot?

Seriously? I guess because most of time it's fun. Well, except for school. Really, I just want to get good GCSE grades so I can get into college and have an experience in education that doesn't totally suck.

If it's a laziness thing I believe that something has to click inside you one day where you just get fed up with your own rhetoric of " I will do it tomorrow " and such sayings. Sadly, the only way to really get yourself to do something is to just make a routine of doing it and getting used to doing it. That's really the only advice I can give you. Your just gonna have to push yourself to do it.

Get off your lazy f*cking ass!

 

Just think about the things you can achieve when you get better. Where you can be, where you can play. How good you can be if you push yourself. Or just watch another inspirational video when its not late, watch it, start training. If you have big dreams then go for it. I know you love hockey so you should go for it man.

 

I for one get motivation sometimes from certain songs I like wich mean someting to me.
