Motivation vs Depression part 3/3

THE FUTURE



Goals are an essential part of life of you ask me. I mean if you dont have goals how are you going to feel like your achieving anything in life. Surely its merely an existence without goals an wheres the fun in that.

     If you could do anything and know that you could not fail, what would it be? Please......take a moment or two too think about this thing.

     Some people may dream of doing a 3 hour marathon. Others may dream of that dream job. Whatever you do just make sure you have something that makes you want to get up every morning.

     The late Steve jobs really hit the nail on the head for finding what you love. 14mins of genius here I have to say.

HURDLES

     Hurdles, barriers, walls, problems whatever we want to call them they will always always be there in some way shape or form and you may be thinking, its all well an good wanting something but what about reality basically. I understand that thought process really I do. If you dont believe you can do it by all means carry with the boring day to day grind of Monday - Friday.

     If you want more than anything to feel you have made it or been successful in your pursuits then know this..........FEAR...IS...NOT...REAL. That is right fear Is not real! It's just an illusion tricking you into not chasing your dream. Fear wants you to stay in the comfort zone. Of we are completely honest, what is REALLY stopping us? Time to shed our love of excuses don't you think. 

Motivation vs Depression part 2/3

MOTIVATED..........depressed.........MOTIVATED............depressed. I have to be honest this can be an hourly or daily cycle at times, for me atleast anyway. I know there will be those of you that would love to feel better than you do now. I know how you feel I've been there before. Trust me though, it does get better, it doesnt have to be one massive long numb existence. I've been on an upward mood very gradually now for a while. Yes there are down days now an again but overall I'm mostly happy with life.

Why? Whats changed?
My outlook on life is a different now. I mean untill fairly recently I would experience or come up against a "problem" and simply look at the negatives of the issue. Or think about the things I wouldn't have or do. Now though I think how can I make the most of it. Take this blog, there's no getting round the fact that my writing qaulity could be better, so by recording my own ideas an so on I hopefully can improve. Win win really.

Sometimes I may not be able to turn it round perhaps if its out of my control or if its just rubbish then atleast discovering the cause can make it easier because it can be rationalized. Having someone go in your pocket for cash all the time would be extremely annoying but knowing its the taxman makes it alot more acceptable given that schools an hospitals need paying for.

Lifes to short to dwell on problems. See things as opportunitys and suddenly life is much more coulorfull, interesting and fun. TRUST ME.

By the way if you enjoyed reading this. Or have any opinions, tips or advice on it then chuck us a comment.

Thanks people.

Motivation vs Depression part 1.

Ever struggle for motivation? I know I do at times. But why?

"I'm always motivated" - nobody ever.

Why do you just not want to get up and go sometimes? Even for the slightest little daily task. I'm not talking win the Tour de France or run a marathon. If you have an opinion on this please share.

Lately I've been stuck in a bit of a rut, making the wrong choices with Diet and sleep routine mainly. These two rather big issues have made me feel.........well, crap.

Depression is winning, or should I say was, because I'm turning it around. I'm not planning on winning the olympics so dont get to excited.

In the last couple of weeks i've made the decision to get my lazy arse going mostly in running because when I get running regurlarly pretty much everything else improves with it.

To be continued.......
