Motivation Questions and Answers
Open Question: I need a good idea for my graphics mock exam?
I do graphics at school, and basically i'm really crap at it =(, everyone in my class (only about 7 others) has all these ideas and i have none and have little motivation towards this mock...I only took graphics because I had no idea what else to take after my first two options, and my mum said i was creative and suggested graphics, unfortunately i agreed and now i do graphics, i very much regret this decision. The exam lasts all day from, 9:05am to 3:05pm, i do get break times, at 11:05am and 1:30pm, so it has to be able to be done and finished in that time. Okay, so it has to be about recycling and must be some kind of poster. Do not feel as you are cheating, it IS a mock and has little importance...Please help i just want to get it other and done with and finished and that'll add to my list of GCSEs in the end, so it won't be a complete waste of time. This is my last resort please help...I get so bored in lessons, i just don't know what to do, because i have to do loads of preparation crap for it. Please help, thank-you...also if you have done this mock for graphics, please forward your ideas...ugh i feel so dirty doing this but it's the only way, and plus it is only a mock. PS: I live in western England...I don't know if that makes any difference...it might limit the materials i can collect i guess. moreOpen Question: Has anyone ever tried to make you jealous - and why do they do it?
I am dating a lovely guy. We get on brilliantly - knew him for months before we got together - and we have so much in common. However, he has a flaw...he likes to make me jealous. He's faithful - he completely disapproves of people cheating but he loves letting me know about every comment/text/email/situation where any girl has shown interest in him. If I get snappy about it he looks pleased and relieved to know that I care... I do get the motivation for it; I can see it's pure insecurity (he liked me a long time before we got together - and I him, and we both have each other on a pedestal, and can't believe we deserve each other - in a good way). We banter about these women but deep down it makes me wonder and worry, because he's so complacent about his own feelings; he has a streak of arrogance and doesn't believe any woman could seduce him away from me. But I disagree! He never meets up with such women - I live with him and spend time with him, and am confident of this - plus he's very honest, if nothing else. But unfortunately, a girl in our shared house now fancies him and he laughs about it with me because he's not smitten. But what the guy doesn't realise is that he could fall for her over time - and the safest thing is to keep a distance. Instead they are becoming friends despite my warnings that it is a risk (he has already rejected her advances once...) I don't know what to do. He says he loves fiery women, and likes getting "a reaction" from me...but I am finding this so damn irritating. What should I do - I'm tired of whining about it - plus I want to concentrate on us - not these silly girls! moreOpen Question: Have a date today, I'm so nervous?
I met this girl online. I just talked to her on the phone and I stuttered, she couldn't even understand what I'm saying! What should I do? I'm so nervous!! Can somebody give me some motivation or advice? moreOpen Question: I hate work so much, it makes me depressed, any help?
In my life I have had so many jobs that I lost count. All my life I have had trouble keeping a job. Part of the problem is I don't have any motivation to earn money. I don’t need it (desperately) and I am much happier being on the dole and Im serious. Another part of the problem is that I get bored very easily with mundane tasks, and this in and of itself isn't necessarily a problem because I am sure many people are bored with their jobs, however, in my case I don't know how to deal with the boredom and eventually my job performance begins to suffer. I am twenty years old and balancing a degree with working. I need to work to earn the money to see my girlfriend, who lives in America, but it just all gets on top of me. I am not working now. I live off of job seekers allowance which is difficult because it is not much to live on. I don't know how easy it will be for me to get work in the future. I am also rather picky about the kinds of jobs that I will do. Jobs I usually avoid are customer services jobs (where I would be on the phone all day or serving a customer). I could not be paid enough to do customer service. I also don't want to do any kind of food service job. It would be too fast paced for me. I have tried to be a waiter and I hated it. I got overwhelmed and walked off the job one evening. At least I tried it. It isn't that I feel I am too good for these types of jobs; I just don't get any level of satisfaction from it. In fact working a job I can't stand makes me terribly depressed. I dread going in to the job. All aspects of life become unpleasant because of the job. Maybe it isn't supposed to be that way, but with me it is that way. Jobs I THINK I would like (and I say I THINK because I have no way of knowing for sure) would be something that involved travel to other countries (but nothing having to do with the military, I am NOT interested in joining up to kill people). Perhaps a job that involves computer technology. I also enjoy, really enjoy watching TV and movies, yet I doubt I can find a job that involves watching TV and movies. I hate job searching because it just makes me feel more and more convinced that I don't belong in this world. Nothing really excites me except watching TV and movies. I don't think I belong in the world because I am not (repeat NOT) a go-getter. I am more like a bring-it-over-to-me'er. I fantasize about being filthy rich yet I don't really know how to become rich. I don't think it will happen, not in my lifetime. Perhaps if there is reincarnation I might come back as a super successful guy who makes millions a year. It would be nice to get this lifetime over with so I can move on to the better life. It would be nice to not have to work much and make a huge salary. If I had allot of money I would pursue things that I think are fun. If you can't do what you enjoy what is the point to life? Many people probably make that sacrifice and work a job they don't enjoy. Maybe they are willing to make that sacrifice, I am NOT willing to. Sorry, I want to enjoy my life. I have a low tolerance to bullshit. It is just the way I am. I wish I could change that but I can't. I used to be an administrative assistant and I hated it. I could easily get a job doing that work again but it makes me unhappy. So why should I do it if it makes me unhappy and even angry? It would just be adding stress to my already stressful life. No thank you. Life is too short. however, if by some remote chance some company wants to pay me 250,000 dollars a year to be an admin assistant I might feel differently (although I would be highly suspicious as to why some company would pay that kind of money to just be an admin assistant). iT happens to be that one of the things I am an expert at is giving up or quitting. I am terrific at giving up, and it is soooo easy to do too. Doesn’t require any skills or experience whatsoever. I am the master of giving up. If you ever need tips on how to give up, just ask me. I should probably get business cards made up with my job title as "professional giver upper". I am close to giving up on ever finding my way in life. I have no way in life. I don't plan ahead and, at this point in my life, what would be the point? Sometimes I think to myself what I might say to someone if I was asked what it is that I do for a living. I usually don't have an answer. Does it really matter? I have recieved a few replies saying im lazy, that I need to grow up etc etc. I would like to add that I have clinical depression and anxiety as well, and suffered the death of an ex girlfriend (my first love) about three years ago, which changed me as a person. And Yes, I have been through all the anti depressants, councellors, mental health workers, psychiatrists etc... They did help, and I am a hell of a lot better than I am now, but this is the challenge I now face. moreResolved Question: ok, we go on holiday on 24th august, the problem is that my wife is a size 12 and obviously she needs to be?
about an 8. I signed her up for weight watchers and ive also bought her a size 8 dress to give her a bit of extra motivation and i have put her on a diet but the pounds seem to be refusing to budge. Do you think she is cheating on the diet while i'm at work? Can you suggest a quicker way for her to loose the lard? moreResolved Question: My best mate has lost all motivation having lost his job. What can I do to revive him?
He is an ambitious successful guy and intelligent. But he's just sullen these days and not bothered about not working. He says he's not interested anymore and doesn't see the point in struggling off the work anymore. But he needs people round him otherwise I fear he'll go further down hill. I am tearing my hair out but not letting on. moreOpen Question: [urgent] I think I failed my GCSEs. What can I do to get to Sixth Form?
Here is how the story goes. I just finished my GCSEs but I haven't got my results back. I'm not really sure whether or not I failed my GCSEs but it is likely that I have and even if I haven't they will probably still be really bad. So either way, I want to retake all of them anyway. I already applied to a Sixth Form and they said I need 5 GCSEs (5 Cs or more). For all of the exams in June, I revised one or two days before the day of the exam because I have a serious problem with motivation. My subjects are English, English Literature, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography and History. For English and English Lit. I definately failed (there is no need to ask me why because I'm sure of it). For Maths I probably got an A or A* because I'm just somehow good at it anyway. For Physics I estimate I got a B or an A even though I got As and A*s for my other physics modules because in the last module I didn't revise properly (taken in June). For Chemistry I got either a D or a C. I got As and A*s for the first few Chemistry modules but in the last module (taken in June) I totally failed because I didn't revise so the most I can get is a C in Chemistry. For Biology I probably got a C or a B because I failed my last module (taken in June). In Geography, I probably got a C or a D even though I got an E in my mock. That is because I got an A for my Geography coursework and the grade boundaries this year are really low. For History I'm not really sure but I probably got a C or a D. Basically, there's a lot of chance I probably won't get 5 GCSEs and won't get into Sixth Form. So I want to know where I can retake them in the UK. And if I do retake them and I do well then will I be allowed into a Sixth Form? And although I shouldn't be in a position to ask this but will the fact that I had to retake my GCSEs mean anything to an University (that's if I manage to somehow get into a Sixth Form first)? Also, please note that I will not accept 'going into a job' as an option. To first answerer: What? Am I in the American Yahoo!Answers then by mistake? renz, is your information reliable? sorry about doubting but i just need reassurance. also, if i do fail and i want to retake then can i just take the exams at some exam centre instead of going to school for a whole year. there wont be any need for that because I can revise perfectly well from a textbook provided I have about a few weeks. i can do any coursework myself. the only time i can think of that i will need to go to school for is for ISAs (practical assessments for science) and speaking and listening assessments for english. im not trying to be lazy but there is actually no need to go to school for a whole year when i just need a few weeks to revise at home and then go to take the exams at a designated time. moreOpen Question: do you weight yourself every day when you're on a diet?

I am doing a biology degree and am in my secound year. But thing is its my 3rd year studying because I was at another university but changed uni because I was homesick. I commute to uni which is about an hour away. Thing is I have had a bad year last year, I have been badly depressed and I have only recently started realising against it. I have seriously lacked motivation despite completing my corsework and going to my exams. I am pretty sure I have failed this year because I barely answered anything on my exams at all. Part of me knows I could do it if I really pulled my finger out I have just seriously lacked self esteem (still do). I dunno what to do, I am 21 and most of my friends have just completed there degrees and I stuck doing mine. Part of me is board of uni but part of me is scared about going into the real world without a degree. I recently started doing a teaching placement at a primary school and I really enjoy it and I think it could be a potential career but I need a degree to do it. Plus I know if I drop out of uni I will let everyone down plus it will bug me constantly in my head. I am at a stalemate, part of me wants to , but part of me worrys about the cost and fact that I am 21 and I will blackmarked as someone who had to repeat years at uni. I dunno what can anyone give me some advice??? moreVoting Question: I don't know what to do, I need help?
I'm fifteen years old and have really bad commitment issues. I play guitar, bass and drums a bit and I'm a natural at them but I really can't be bothered with it and I need motivation but how? I also want to start a band but don't have the motivation and commitment to do it? Where do I start, what do I do? moreVoting Question: Need motivation please - loads of laudry to fold and iron?
Hey peeps..good afternoon, Im at work at the moment on my teabreak...and dreading going home to at least 4 baskets of washed clothes which need folding and some need ironing, this is my pet hate as far as housework goes...but I really want to get on top of it today! helpppppppppppp!!!!!!!!! thanks moreOpen Question: I feel that I have many 'issues' holding me back from living my life to the full. What can I do about it?
I feel that I have lots of things holding me back from living my life to the full and I need to do something about it. It makes me feel down a lot (possibly even depressed) as I feel like I'm trapped sometimes. For example I don't have much confidence and very low self esteem. I have no direction and no motivation and I'm rarely happy. I'm stuck in a job I don't like and I don't know what I really want to do or where I want to be. When it comes to women I always manage to put up barriers or make excuses so I never get involved. The rare times I have I seem to do things that are self-destructive or find people that deep down I know it will never work with and because of this I've never had a serious relationship. I don't seem to have any form of survival instinct either - where as most people will pull themselves up after something has happened to them I just give up. I'm also too highly strung - I over-think things, stress out and worry all the time. And I know deep down that if I'm not careful this is all going to spiral towards a mental illness or something. So I ask what can I do about this? Is there someone I can go and talk to about this? I've thought about speaking to my GP, but it just seems stupid like it's not a real problem. Do I need therapy,counselling or should I get a life coach or something? What should I do? moreVoting Question: Do you agree that Spain failed to impress and that they're overrated?
I mean all that they did in last couple of years was winning the Euro's and didn't lost 35 games with 39 goals scored and only 2 conceded.... and now because they lost a game against US in a tournament that means NOTHING to most of the Spanish players they're all of the sudden overrated... hehehehhe.... every Spanish player had 5 times tougher season than US and SA players, all of Spanish players are playing in the toughest and the strongest leagues in the world and most of them were playing more than 50 games in top leagues and CL with the club + the NT in the qualifications.... who were US players playing against in last season??? And another thing is motivation, do you really think Spain will lack motivation and desire to win in the WC 2010 like they were lacking at CC??? Come on Americans and Spain haters stop embarrassing yourself, Spanish NT didn't fail nothing, if I was Xavi for example and I have just won a treble and and Euro a year before I would rather be home resting than playing at 40 C in a tournament that is less important than league cup. moreVoting Question: i wanna learn driving as i am toooo dependent on my husband but i am too lazy n have no motivation 2 :(?

Over the past four years i've put on three stone. Eventually I have the motivation to lose the weight. Currently I eat too many carbs, as I don't eat a lot of meat. I'm wanting to go on a low carb diet, but unsure of what foods to eat since I don't eat any meat from a cow, pig or sheep. Where will I get the protein I need? Thanks in advance! moreVoting Question: Why do my parents think i'm WORTHLESS?
I'm 20 years olds and I admit i'm lazy, I barely passed through school, only after they paid for extra classes and I dropped out of uni. I don't have a job and have never had one in my whole life. Since I dropped out of uni last years I only leave my bedroom to use the bathroom or get something to eat. I don't have a disability, I just lack motivation. And I just go out all the time and don't come back till 3-4 in the morning and generally don't talk to them unless I want something. And they pay for all my clothes, food and car insurance and dont ask me to help around the house. But I drank my dads whiskey collection and he was mad and said 'im a waste of space and 'good for nothing'. Now i'm really hurt. Were his harsh words justifiable? Proud, I think maybe they were annoyed about all those things, but all the pent up annoyance just caused him to say that in the end when he was looking forward to a nice scotch which I drank with my friends. How should I prove them wrong? all those people saying they should kick me out - why would a mother work so hard and sacrifice so much to raise their child and then just kick them to the curb when they're ready and stop caring about their childs wellbeing? That makes no sense and defeats the whole purpose of parenting. My parents don't think the same way as you thankfully. If you're going to throw your kids out to the gutter eventually, then you may as well not have had them in the first place. moreResolved Question: When religionists argue with atheists, do they feel their battling against the Devil's work?

i know everyone feels down when they get back from a holiday, but for me it seems 10 times worse. I have SAD.. and i just got back from a weeks break in Turkey, now im in England and its so horrible and rainy. All i can think about is wanting to move away somewhere or go travelling but im only 17 and at college so i cant really do that. I used to always have patches of depression but it feels worse this time and i get so down thinking that i will have to live here, by going to university and then getting a job. I have no motivation for anything here and everything just seems pointless..i dont want to feel like this but i just wish i was older so i had more money and could travel or have more frequent holidays.. i feel like my life is a mess and dont know how to make it better, and cause im so young i hate it cause its like im wasting my life here and hating every minute of it.. moreResolved Question: JOB APPLICATION FORM - MOTIVATION QUESTION!!?

Also, just one more, I have a close male friend who I love spending time with, text all day everyday, talk on the phone all night, often flirty, and meet up late at night and just talk. I encouraged him to go to uni which he didnt think he was capable of, and he loves my motivation and my manorisms. Im developing strong feelings for him. We were talking about dreams, and he said he had a dream about me, that we slept together. We were cuddling and going to sleep, and I rushed downstairs and said I had to go hand a uni assignment in. What could this mean? moreResolved Question: Y/A's Black community: The Black Community and the Democrat Party?
I Have always been curious on why the large turnout for the last few decades, considering how policies play out and affect everyone Well I believe effort should be done to reverse the divide in the black community, and that starts with repairing the black family as well as image. Does this mean everyone? No, but issues like out of wedlock birth rates still persist in unfavorable numbers. A good speaker on this and similar topics would be tmot, the preacher of truth. http://www.youtube.com/user/tmotofga Interesting guy, listen to some of his older videos as well. The destruction of such came from the new deal, which ripped many people off, when collecting unemployment, you get paid more if you are single or without a father, they subsidized and encouraged single moms, what happened is that the father would leave when the inspector came around so a higher amount would be given to the family (if the system allows abuses, abuses will occur that is human nature) and then come back after the inspector left. Eventually the father stopped coming back creating more absent fathers. Also the gender bias in affirmative action causes a slip as well, affirmative action has put 3 times more females into college than males, created an education gap and thus a further divide and split within the black community. As education plays a big part on who you socialize with as well as potential mates. This mainly applies to the disadvantaged. These policies along with Hollywood have been hurting the black community for several decades now. Hollywood influences young minds greatly and has perpetuated stereotypes more than any source. Once the black family is united and self imaged restored you will see an increase in motivation, living standards, etc. I'm not telling the black community to all go vote republican, libertarian, or any specific party just that, some consideration should be taken in. Also if any group votes as strong as 90%+ for one party no matter what, the party you vote for doesn't have to do anything, they have your vote, the other parties you never vote for won't do anything for you because they will not get your vote, it's almost like political sterilization. Not insulting, it's a critical thinking question. If you disagree and think these policies help, please explain what I have missed, or what facts have I omitted, otherwise, what are your thoughts on these issues and how they play out onto the black community? I didn't say go vote republican, you can vote for the a third party, green, libertarian, indepenence, socialist or stay democrat, People vote for two things, idealogical and what benifits them, if you take offense from that fact, that we as people are hedonistic, then there is nothing I can do about that. moreVoting Question: Can't stop gaining weight?

Please help...?
My GP indicated last time I was in (about a week ago) that a lot of the symptoms I was describing to him and now you, are associated with stress. He is running further urine and blood tests to make sure there is nothing un-toward wrong with me but I have already been through numerous tests including ECG's, Chest X-Rays, blood and urine samples which have all come back fine (around 6 months ago), however I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, (the reason for all of the above tests) which I think deep down has hit me quite hard, since being put on medication and having all these tests carried out on me I have been mentally worried and stressed about there being something further wrong with me, and having a dodgy heart which is about to pack in any moment! Which I know is really stupid, but with all these unusual, not normal for me, symptoms I really can't help thinking there is something further wrong. Some of my symptoms were apparent before my high blood pressure diagnosis, and why I was visiting the doctor in the first place. The doctor explained that they may have been due to the fact I had High Blood Pressure, But I would say they have gotten worse since, even now that my blood pressure is now completely normal and controlled with my medication. All My symptoms are (Not all at the same time, but intermittently): Mentally: A noticeable change in my concentration (Inability to stay focused on things) Spacing or daydreaming inappropriately IE when driving, at work or when im trying to concentrate Blurred vision - due to involuntary relaxing of my eyes - Spacing again Squinting away from bright light or bright sunshine Lack of interest in conversation, people or life in general Lack of positivness - Negative attitude Lack of motivation Inability to relax An unwillingness to start anything Laziness Moody Loss of sex drive Felling tired and wanting to go back to bed constantly - Even when just woken up from a good nights sleep A feeling of doom Physically: Chest and stomach discomfort (the most worrying for me!) An unusual awareness of heart beat Sometimes a lump in the throat feeling moreResolved Question: Help with German letter!?
Hi there, I need someone to proof read my German motivation letter for my internship, it's been a year since I done the language in school and I probably have an abundance of mistakes here in this, thanks! Motivationscheiben Ich bin einen irischer zweiter Jahr Student der Luftfahrttechnik der Universität von *** und ich graduiere von einem vierjährlichen Grad des Junggesellen 2012. Ich habe immer gute Noten bekommen, und ich glaube, dass ich ein hoher aufstiegsorientierter Mensch mit gutes arbeit und studiere Gewohnheiten bin. Ich habe wollte immer ins Ausland studieren.

If so what type do I have?
My question is – do you think I am Bipolar, and if so which sort do I probably have? Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymic Disorder, or “Bipolar Not Otherwise Specified”? Both myself and my partner strongly suspect I have Bipolar Disorder, and I don’t say that lightly as a “trendy” thing, we do know something about it from witnessing it in people we’ve known plus one of my friends is a Psychiatric Nurse. I’ve had both Depression and Anxiety since I was 15 (I’m 42 now), and been treated with various anti-depressants on and off for most of that period, both SSRIs and the old Tetracycline types. I stopped taking Anti-Depressants a few years ago because it didn’t feel like they were working any more and they were taking away my motivation to do things and making me sleepy. I’ve also had intense counselling over that period and “sorted things out”, but have come to the conclusion my moods aren’t necessarily caused by the past, it’s just they way I am, and understanding the past hasn’t stopped my moods occurring. In more recent times, say the last 5 years, I have developed other symptoms too, I’m aware of the existence of different types of Bipolar Disorder, mainly Bipolar I and Bipolar II but whatever is wrong with me doesn’t fit either of those exactly. I sometimes have “Pure” Depression, sometimes Hypomania (a less severe form of Mania) – happy, positive mood, extrovert, enthusiastic, a bit loud, chatty about lots of different things & sociable. Plus sometimes I have “Agitated Depression” where I’m very down but restless and irritable and unable to think straight or get much done, or sometimes a “Mixed state”, where I’m both depressed and anxious but also (and I’m a bit embarrassed by this) constantly wanting to have sex or feeling I “need something,”and being busy doing lots of things. I tend to get a bit obsessed at times and also have difficulty keeping things in perspective and over-react with hysterical crying when upset. I DON’T go on wild spending sprees or get grandiose or rant in the street, so I don’t think I have Bipolar I. My moods aren’t as extreme as they are in some people, but they do change rapidly, sometimes every few hours, sometimes every few days. I periodically suffer from bouts of Insomnia where I have difficulty getting to sleep or I keep waking up. I take herbal sleeping tablets when I get like this and they work quite well. It’s important for me to sleep well, because if I get sleep deprived I tend to have low-grade hallucinations ( feeling of being touched or something brushing past me, also hearing incoherent but quiet chatter of voices/whispers or sounds, plus seeing bright colours as I breathe in and out). I’m aware that these experiences are “not real” when they are happening; I never lose contact with reality. If I get very upset and worked up I do sometimes tend to feel a bit paranoid, I deal with this by going to rest in my room on my own with as little stimulation as possible; I usually feel better a couple of hours later. I used to have to stop watching certain programmes on the TV because they were a trigger for it, but I’m a lot better now. The “Paranoia” I get now only happens occasionally and is mild; it may or may not be your “Classical” Paranoia but it is still the worse feeling in the world. A couple of years ago I was very bad (Postnatal Depression after the birth of my child). The delivery and aftercare was traumatic so I also had flashbacks (a very, very unpleasant experience). The doctor prescribed me an SSRI (which I did use to take years ago), but this time they made me restless so I stopped taking them. He then prescribed me Prozac but this caused a really bad anxiety attack, the worst one I have ever had, so I never took it again. My moods are not as extreme as they used to be but they still trouble me. I tend to feel worse if my iron levels get low so I take iron tablets (prescribed by doctor). I’ve cut out virtually all caffeine (only have one cup of regular tea a day first thing in morning), and only drink small amounts of alcohol when going out, and I think this helps. The situation now is that I have just left things as they are. My doctor has never mentioned the word “Bipolar” but to be honest I think GPs don’t have enough training in that field, they are more familiar with your classic Depression or people who “get a bit anxious”. I have never been referred to a Psychiatrist, I could push for this but don’t feel like doing it, talking too much about it makes me feel worse and I get an idea in my head that I won’t be believed anyway. My partner is concerned about me but I’ve promised him if I get worse I will go back to the GP and try to get something done. I’m mainly coping with it, I look after myself and my family just fine and everyone has what they need, my partner is sympathetic and supportive, but I wish I wasn’t like this! moreResolved Question: What else can I do for my extreme makeover?
I have a big event coming up where I want to look AMAZING. Its kind of like going to The Oscars for me. There will also be some ppl there who when i was sloppy in my appearance, used to be quite condescending. So this is great motivation. Im planning to go on a detox to clear my system for a few weeks before as well as daily work outs. I already have invisible braces & i'm planning to: have my teeth bleached hair cut & styled botox manicure fake tan what else can I do? moreResolved Question: Motivation help help help :)?

Its a school trip and i just wanna feel comfortable with myself, especially when we go swimming.How can i loose 5-7 pounds in 2 weeks and tone up my belly because its pretty flabby.

Btw im 14. thanks in advancexxxxxxx moreResolved Question: Why does the gym make me feel so tired and crap?
Hi All I've been trying to get into a gym routine for about 7 months now but it's so hard because there seems to be a pattern of after every 3 to 4 weeks (just when I'm starting to get into a routine) I'll get sick....like a really bad head cold or chest infection. And by the time I feel well enough to go back I've lost the motivation. I also find that working out makes me feel soooo tired! I don't mean directly after the workout, but the next day. I've been going again for about 3 weeks now, and on the days following evenings that I've been to the gym I feel so tired I can barely function and feel like I've had about 3 hours sleep! I've been to the doctor to have blood test because I thought maybe I was defficient in something and my body was struggling to work hard without it, but everything came back normal. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it normal to feel like this the first few weeks? I thought exerccise was supposed to give you energy but at the moment i'm finding it hard to drag myself back there each day. Many thanks P.S.I thought maybe previously I was pushing myself too hard too soon, so I have slowed it down this time and have started on just 3 days a week. But still feel like crap! moreResolved Question: Had to pinch myself when the good doctor?

I have always been a bit up and down :) On one extreme I have achieved many things, have massive motivation and determination, inspire others, work non stop - sometimes getting an hour or two's sleep a day, I'm assertive, passionate - alive!! On the other hand I find it hard to get out of bed (fear based?) hiding from/ avoiding life basically (yes even if I have had a good nights sleep before - in fact I tend to work better when exhausted) Is it a self esteem issue? - whenever I am close to really getting what I want I seem to go into depressive mode and sabotage myself - I am aware of it, yet seemingly unable to snap out of it - HELP please :) Would I see my GP to enquire about treatments?

Hi all, I'm currently on a diet (cambridge diet) and I have to stick to meal replacement food. I haven't told anyone I'm doing it yet because for some reason everytime I tell someone I'm on a diet I loose my motivation for doing it. I'm doing really well at the moment and I don't want to break tge diet but nor do I want my friend to know. What can be a legitimate excuse for not eating? I've used the excuse if not having enough money before but this time she wants to buy me breakfast because it's my birthday. Hope that all makes sense - I look forward to your replies! moreResolved Question: What type of person researches their family tree?

THANKS!!! moreResolved Question: Is it just hopeless me trying to be a doctor?
Im 18 and really want to be a doctor. But i was kinda depressed at school and i didnt really know what i wanted to be when i grew up. So i got fairly bad grades apart from two As in Intermediate 2, and a B in Higher Psychology. I want to get into med school but i'll need at least 3 As in higher, if not more. I thought about going to college to take chemistry, human biology, and physics. I have not done any of these subjects at standard grade so i dont know if i'll cope with higher. I really really want to be a doctor so im willing to work really really hard at these subjects to try achieve As. Ive got loads of motivation. I just dont know if its possible. I feel like a bit of a failure and i just cant see myself getting As in these subjects. Does anyone think that it is possible to get As in these subjects if you havent dont the standard grades? This is my last chance to prove to myself that im not a complete failure and is my last chance to get the job i really want. I just want to know if going to college is hopeless, because all its going to do if it is is put me really down when i fail. Which will be really pretty bad for my menal health. I have trouble with confidence enough as it is. So, does anyone think that its possible for me to succeed? moreVoting Question: Someone inspire me to revise?
Doing my GCSEs at the moment, and I have many revision books etc to revise from.. .. just no motivation im very intelligent when i put my mind to it.. i just put it off too much wasting my time on things like this ;) it's chemistry i should be revising right now :| BORING! moreResolved Question: Why can't I just lose the weight?
I am 19, im 17stone (107kg) and 5ft10, however im quite big built, i dont have a huge beer belly, but I've got big legs and broad shoulders. Basically I need to lose a good stone to trim up, but i want to get fit as well, except i have a problem, motivation! I hate how i look, i know how life would be if i was thinner, i would have so much confidence, i would like shopping for fashionable clothes rather than ones that are big enough to cover me up, and I would be happier, so if i know all this, why cant i just go out jogging and eat healthily? all i think about is food, i eat healthy for a day and then i think "sod it" and i will have biscuits or something. I don't even try a diet to see if it works, i just like my food too much. I also love sport and when im out with mates playing football or golf or something i am at my happiest and would lsoe weight, however i cant seem to find the time to do this anymore with being at uni and working almost full time whilst im off. Just wondering if anyone else has this, and if they did and overcome it, how did you do it? Thanks moreResolved Question: What do I do about this?
I have been divorced for a year now. I have really fought through all the bitter feelings and am nearly out the other side. I realise now how happy everyone is for my ex as he has moved on and found someone new. I would really like to do the same but am frightened that I may be doing it to be competitive or get revenge. How do I know that (a) I am really over him and (b) that my motivation for finding someone else is good? moreResolved Question: my main charactor was abused as a child..in one of short stories?

there is this 1 model which i have as a screen saver. he is so handsome. when i turn my laptop on i sit and stare in his eyes because they show so much passion. well lately i have been having emotions for him. i think about him and sometimes when i think i want to give up my diet i think about him and he is my motivation (i think "unless i lose weight a guy like him won't want me"), i evan imagine myself with a guy like him doing stuff together like kissing or hugging (nothing naughty). should i be concerned? moreResolved Question: Why do Americans virtually always take the side of the strong against the oppressed? Are they simply evil?
In their 200 hundred year history they have committed a genocide against the Indians and ly/nched many thousands of blacks. More recently they have chosen the occupying Israelis over the Palestinian refugees. ------------------- The exception frequently cited is WW2 BUT they only got involved because they were attacked first. Preventing a genocide of the Jews clearly wasn't motivation enough. moreResolved Question: Is selling yourself short the ultimate crime? technical ability over soft skills, why?
Now I don't claim to be an expert in all areas of my profession(software engineering), I know my weaknesses, however, I am sick and tired of lackadaisical attitudes at my place of work. It has become apparent to myself qualifications may enable one to meet job profile requirements but once one is in the door - qualifications don't matter. Once in the job the only qualities that matter are self-motivation, wanting to do better than yesterday, pride and drive I suppose, ability to resolve conflict, self-awareness, empathy etc. Maybe I could sum them up by saying "softer skills", anyway, one day training courses trying to address these competencies never seem to work. It takes time learn these skills and some people never learn, it's harder to learn an emotional competence than a technical one, as you have to unlearn bad habits first. They send people on negotiation courses and tutors talk in theory or set out unconvincing role play activities, how does this address lack of empathy which is required when negotiating? We all know that in order to do a presentation that we must be engaging, keep to the point, don't talk in a mono tone, that's the theory. However, it doesn't mean I'm going to be good at giving presentations does it? I know how to play golf, I've read books, had lessons, I'm not going to be a professional though. If someone is not naturally good at negotiating or managing teams, why get them to do it? If the company asks how can we improve and everyone thinks that's someone else's problem, nothing will happen. Will it? Or they half try for a week or two and give up cause no-one else seems to be trying. Why can't people try and be the best they can be? If we are at work x number of hours anyway, why not make them rewarding hours? I don't want to waste half my week kidding on I'm working to my best. On the other hand I don't want to work for a hard working company who thinks slave labour and unsociable working patterns are motivational either. Am I missing the point of business life? I seem to be in the minority, so I suppose all I'm looking for here is for at least one person to agree with me so I don't feel like I'm the only one who thinks like this. To summarise: Qualifications might get people in the door, but that's all. Business's that are successful surely need to look beyond qualifications, yes or no? Should one sell themselves short and put up with all this non-sense or is it prevalent in every business, maybe Google would be an answer I suppose, they seem to do alright, drive and ambition as well as the skills to back up their ideas? hmmm It's all about finding the right balance motivated when at work but good life outside of it as well. How can I look at this without getting so frustrated? moreMotivation News
