Motivating
I am sitting here looking at my freshly shaved pooch. She looks at me with anticipation. Her Queen just left her here for a short while and she is looking at me like a lost puppy, no pun intended.
Have you ever felt that way? I am going through a stint right now that seems to be that way all the time. I feel like I am walking around like a lost puppy. I am searching for purpose. Well, not purpose. I know I have a purpose, I am just lacking the motivation to follow through on that purpose. It is not easy.
I am sure that none of you have ever found it challenging to get out of bed in the morning. What about getting motivated to go to work? I don't want to watch TV, it is mind numbing. I don't want to just sit around, it is guilt written. I have a hard time finding a good book. When I do find one, I feel that I am just wasting time. I start thinking about studying something that will benefit me, not just entertain me. I don't want to work in the yard. Going out to visit people sounds like too much work. I have just lost my motivation.
So, where do I find it? That is always the question. I have come to realize that some days are just that way. I know that I can only go on this way for a short period of time before it starts driving me crazy. Then I will force myself to be motivate. I will go out and do something. I will get off my behind and do it. I just wish I did not have to go crazy first.
I do it in little increments. I have take a few evening bike rides. It gives me a chance to exercise and also see people. I do spurts of exercise. I am making an effort to stop and talk to those I see long the way.
I have plenty of good books to read. I limit the amount of time I spend playing games on the computer. I write down things that I need to do and then check them off when I am done.
I don't know that I will get to the garden this year. I think I am just going to spray it with weed killer, till it under, and start fresh next year. Well, maybe not next year, but I don't think the garden is happening this year. We need to put in a sprinkler system that waters it and I really think we need to go back to boxes. Once we have a decent weekend, I will get back out there. Maybe it will happen tomorrow.
So, here I sit, unmotivated and looking for motivation. It will happen. It is just a stint. Let's pull ourselves out of it together.
