I'm a little disillusioned

I did my first week of full time work for the first time in months and while I was looking forward to it, It has left me pretty drained of energy. Still, i'm perfectly capable of using this weekend to do far more than sit on the computer but I have pushed myself so hard this week that I just don't want to face any responsibility at all.

How do you motivate yourself when you are feeling lazy or down?

 

Suck it up.

 

i cant wait to move out of this town

and be able to complain about a job again

 

Play some good music and dance to get the blood pumping and liven you up.

 

i'm not actually sure. lots of times i just don't bother. if i must, i just tell myself that there's no other option and try to get whatever i need to do done as fast as possible, so i can relax afterward.

 

I always go for a hard core jog. Get that natural high. It's the best.r

 

Are you being hard on yourself?

Edit: love the sig

 

No, I have to go back to work on monday and if I don't go shopping, cook and do all the things I need to do now then I will have to do them when I am tired. I do however find it easier after work though sometimes. I'm not sure....I just don't want to put off living but I don't have much to live for right now. Please don't let that shock or depress you. Its a fact of life that I have become aquainted with. So essentially my dilemma is such - Shun responsibility, be free, waste no energy but do very little worthwhile, or tackle life head on with very little pay off.

 

Don't you think rest and leisure are just as important as work?

 

Walking, reading, playing my guitar, meditating, cooking. For sure.

Hipforums and the web, not so much, but I am really enjoying myself right now so I have made my mind up for the next few hours at least.

 

I think there is a time for useless fun.

But I certainly am capable of overstaying my welcome in those sorts of pursuits-

So I know how it feels.
