Didn't sleep to well last night. I had a lot on my mind. Been doing a lot of thinking lately. Most of it has been about life and just everyday living. Sometime my thoughts wear me out. I don't feel like doing some of the things that I usually love doing like writing and designing websites. I had an episode about a few weeks ago where I sleep almost all day. I went to the doctor and he did some test and told me that everything came back fine and then he asked if I were depressed or stressed. I told him that I had never been depressed or stressed before so I didn't know. How could I be depressed or stressed when I don't know of anything that is causing either of them.
I have always been the person who uplifts everyone. Always finding the good in all situations. There is no way I am going to believe this. So what have I been doing to overcome this feeling. I just keep pushing. If I don't feel like writing, I sit down and make myself write. Even if it doesn't make sense, eventually something will come together. When I don't feel like designing web pages, I do it any way. Eventually, I will get into it and make something happen.
What I have learned is that you have to find your motivation. Find that something that gives you that extra push to make you do when you don't want to do. My motivation use to be music. No matter how I was feeling, if I would put on some music, i would immediately feel good. Well, times have changed and I guess my hard times are immune to music so i had to upgrade my motivation. My new motivation is my wife. I think about how it will make her feel if I get whatever it is I don't want to do done. Every time I see her smile in my head, it gives me energy that I didn't know I had and I get it done. Just this pass weekend, I had to work and I get off late. Well, our grass needed cutting and I just didn't feel like cutting it because i had just got off work. I walked in the house and as soon as I saw her face, I immediately changed clothes and went and cut it. I didn't get a chance to finish because it got dark. Well, I didn't have to be to work the next morning until 11:30am. So I got up finished the yard and ironed her clothes for work for the next week. Then I went to work. That's motivation....find yours and you will be amazed at what you can do!
