Why do i sometimes have no motivation to do anything to improve my life?

Question

to learn some new skills
to meet people
to enjoy myself
to do simple things like going for a walk/cook/clean my room

all I could do sometimes all day is only listening to a music or being on internet

Answer 1

Try to get involved in some social activities such as: study guitar, practice a sport. You need to contact new peoples, to spend energy. As much as you spend, as much as you get. Otherwise you'll colapse. You have this "lack of any feelings" because you don't do anything. Like a small joke (but true!): in ancient Rome, they used to call this "taedium vitae"! So, as I said join some club, get out of your room immediately!!! Good luck!

Answer 2

Maybe you're just feeling down a little bit. You should get out maybe, talk to your friends. It's not good to be inside, on the internet whole day. I feel like that sometimes, too, but if you don't change that, you'll only feel worse. You can even become depressed (if you are not already), feel lonely, become antisocial... You could get in trouble. Go out a few times, have some fun, just to remember how great it can be. Try to learn something new, it'll make you feel good because you'll feel worthy. Try to name a few things you like about yourself, try to be productive, you'll feel better. I don't know your age, but I assume you're a student or something like that. I feel better when I get a good grade (that has never hurt anyone), maybe you can meet someone who is just like you and then you'll have a lot of things to talk about. Helping other people can make you happy, too. Don't just sit there and watch the time pass by. Don't wait for something to happen, do something.

If you're anything like me, sometimes consideration of global events can lead you to personal despair. Example: I heard the Arctic lost an area of sea ice roughly equivalent to Texas and California combined this summer. Scientists are predicting that by 2030 (barring another ice age) there will be no Arctic sea ice at all. The same corporations (mostly oil companies) that are trying desperately to sew confusion and doubt regarding the reality of global warming are just as desperately seeking to claim the newly exposed water and land in the arctic for exploitation of it's oil and mineral resources, in effect exploiting the damage they caused to cause more damage. In the face of these realities it seems to me that it doesn't matter much who gets elected in '08, whether or not Iran has a nuke, whether or not the U.S. uses all it's power to heal the world or destroy it, whether I buy a Prius or a Hummer, whether I spend my days working out or shooting heroine. Luckily I have a wonderful girlfriend who, by going to work 5 days a week, inspires me to do the same. I'm grateful for every beautiful, temperate day because I don't know how many more we'll have. If we are to face a disastrous future I've determined to meet it from a position of responsibility, sense of duty, and spirit of generosity. I don't know if this helps you at all. I hope it does.

ohh just look youre not alone in there..welcome to club;) lol..i wish i had an answer ive been wondering the same for a REAL long time..i just hope it will pass some day(doubt tho) now its just too sad to live life like this(whats worse-i can understand what a poor existance it is,and still dont care about it or do anything). try to find at least smth that interests you even a little and concentrate on it..like..you like music-why wont try going to some concert or stuff? you probably dont even wanna get outta bed lol..but might work you know.for me its travelling-you dont HAVE TO meet and get to know with all the people around you or learn smth new..its just relaxing lol^^

Answer 5

Maybe becuase somebody else takes care of all the difficult things like paying the bills, providing the food, going out to work so you can do nothing all day, etc. I am not crticising you. It's just the way it is.

Imagine you were suddenly completely on your own with no where to live, nothing to eat and no money in your pocket - then motivation is less of a problem.

So, in psychological terms, you 'need' nothing and the things you think you might 'want', you do not want enough to do something about it.

Answer 6

Sometimes this behavior becomes from hormonal changes, so if you are 40-50 years old, maybe this hormone is playing with you.When I feel this way ,I start to feel ill, everything seems wrong, useful, I start to review my whole life and it looks uncomfortable. I hate everybody (including my family) friends, my neighbor, everybody!
Try to follow this: Take 5 deep breaths, take a bath, dress on with lovely clothes, sexy,high heels, beauty make up, and go for a nice mall to take a walk around. You don't have to make big dispenses,just buy a lipstick or a blouse, something that refresh your interior imagining changes when you wear it on.
believe me ! If you let this bad feeling grow, each second turns more hard to jump out and smile again.
Try it my friend, this is my best recommendation.

Answer 7

People are more likely have motivation if they feel like they have a important role in their own life, students need to understand that their future can be so much better if they start now to set themselves up for sucess. The kind of job they want to have, the kind of house they want to live in, the kind of spouse they want to marry all depend on the kind of person they set out to be. Drifting through school with no idea of where it is going to take you is sooo short sighted. You want things! You want to be able to get them but I promise you drifting wont get you there. Your educational results are something you can control. The amount of effort you put into your job skills now will determine your rewards for the rest of your life. You can only reach your highest possible goals if you begin early. This is not rocket science kids! This is life in all its glory and in all of its fun. Dont you ever wonder why some adults become work-a-holics? Because they finally got it. This is their ball-park. They believe they can be effective agents in reaching their desired goals They are motivated to deepen thier 'mastery' of a topic, instead of just rote-learning 'performance' to get good grades.

Adults who are sucessful will also claim altruistic reasons for their participation in taking on more tasks. They will be motivated by such ideas as contributing to a common good, feeling a moral obligation to the community, mentorship of youth or 'giving back'. These are where they find like minded compainons who also "get it." People who know how to get things done. Joining things you are proud to be involved in and having friends who respect you is actually one of the rewards in life even tho it involves more work.

But the honest truth is almost all of us want to have a comfortable life, a nice home, a dependable car... money is an important goal (having healthy food, comfortable clothes etc.) may well be more powerful than the direct motivation provided by an enjoyable workplace. Now is when you fill up your toolbox for life. Do not walk through you classes and leave without the tools you are being offered. Those who graduate with an empty tool box wind up in homeless shelters or flipping burgers and paying child support. (Lack of money wrecks more marriages than infidelity.)


Take charge of your own life right now and I promise you will not regret it.!!!

hey,
dont get yourself so down about it i have days like that and days can turn into weeks and my house just waits for me to clean it. My 12 month old daughter takes up a lot of my time and when she is asleep i like to have some me time.
You just have to get up and do it once you start you wont stop. it also helps if your eating the right foods and getting plenty of water these give you loads of energy if you do it right. you sound young im 22 and well if you are thats what kids do i sat in my room singing in the mirror trying on all my clothes and then leaving them on the floor for days its just what you do ha ha. i bet you think i sound strange he he.
enjoy living with your parents because when you get your own place well you have to clean up and walk the shop and cook to.
have fun

Answer 9

there are several reasons why you could be feeling this way. The main reason could be depression. I know when I get depressed I often feel like doing nothing and find it hard to get motivated. Medication or therapy can help with this or just forcing yourself to exercise.
Second reason you are getting sucked into the internet.

Answer 10

I think sometimes the mind gets itself in a rut where it thrives off misery. I got rejected for this job and from other stuff and just couldn't be bothered anymore- def had no motivation to find anything else.
