Motivation Issue?

Over the past 6 months I have lost my job, decided to leave my husband and move overseas. My problem is that I cannot motivate myself to do the necessary things to progress my decisions. I do not sleep very well and my eating habits have declined. How can I get out of this rut I seem to have gotten into?

    It sounds like you are not at true peace with your decision. The good thing is that you notice a change within yourself. You have to redirect your focus. Sometimes when we are going through something we make decisions based on what we are feeling at that time and not want is best for us in the long run.

    You have to somehow step back and advise yourself the way you would a friend. It is so much easier for us to give advice to others and it is to advise ourself. What would you tell a friend to do?

    Ask yourself: Are you leaving him because he is not a good man and do not make you happy or are you leaving him because you are not happy with yourself right now? Are you moving overseas to run from your problems or is that somewhere you always wanted to move? What are you running from... yourself, your problems? The best way to deal with your problems are headon... No matter how fast you run they will follow you and at some point in your life you will have to face them.

    Find something that inspires you... music, an inspirational self-help book, etc.

    Hey, if you have the money to leave, much less move overseas, then be grateful. I was married to a wealthy man and left him everything, just to get away. I have been homeless and broke now for the last 4 years. Until recently, I now have a new boyfriend and we live on $600 a month. So, don't be depressed if you have the funds to leave, if anything, jump up and go and celebrate that you can!!!!

    I don't think you are in a rut, I think you have a serious mental condition. Please go to a psychiatrist. I think you are trying to escape your reality with fantasies and if you actually do go through with these incredible ideas (moving overseas, leaving your husband) you will find yourself in a country alone, with no support, and realize your problems followed you across the Atlantic ocean. Please go see a doctor before you do something you might regret in the long run.

    I do have some good advice, at some point you should have a moment of strentgh, tell your friends about your problem, have them force you to go out, to do something when you are too bored or apathetic or weak to do anything. We all need people, no one does anything on his/her own. Its an american lie. Although, I do think there is a point where you need to make a decision and do something on your own, but it all begins with help from others!

    initiate out with smaller aims. Then, you comprehend once you accomplish it, you will experience a feeling of delight. next, initiate on the subsequent small purpose. Award your self for those accomplishments. bear in mind, awareness is efficient - studying that new language could be a brilliant earnings. triumphing a opposition would be an remarkable award! good success and initiate sluggish :)

    Stop waiting for the feeling of motivation and just do it. Sounds simple, but you need to commit yourself to doing what's necessary instead of waiting for inspiration to strike.

    If you can't commit, perhaps you need to rethink your plans.

    Meanwhile, commit to eating healthy meals and get some exercise.

    Try to get your job back, try to remarry your husband, and move back to the US. Your not motivated because you feel you've made too many bad choices.
