I got a question for u all. Now i have a problem getting and staying motivated. You see i alwasy quit everything i do, if i can even start. It affects me in everything from exercise, sports, thing slike that....to school and other things. I mean i cant get motivated to study or if i do i cant do it for long. My psyc teacher even told me, and well the whole class. She said u know what pisses me off about u joe, the fact that u are so smart yet are so lazy, and u know what its true. Im like this in everything i do and i hate it but iono what to do about it. And mind u these r college level courses so u know how much effort u have to have. i dont want to mislead neone, i dont fail i have never failed a class, i get c's, n b's and sometimes a's. the a's r in the classes that come easy to me that dont involve me to study cuz i just know it off the bat. But i know i can do so much better and i can be a straight a student, i am very smart(not to sound conceited) but i just cant push my self to do it. and that goes with everything else in my life....Please help!

Motivation

You sound like my younger brother. He has every natural talent and a 190IQ. Yet, when it's something you have to work for he is lazy. Recently he has commited himself to work hard than he has in the past and is progessing well. You just need rto commit yourslef to whatever you are doing.
-
Yea i wish it were that easy. i mean dont get me wrong i can commit to somethin, but i get sick of it very quickly and then i stop. this is me not bein persistant in what i do. so iono how i can stop that....i need to
-
Pull your socks up and stop being so bloody lazy ...........................................................ah you know im only joking hon, i just couldn't resist it kiss
-
Committing yourself is all you have to do, it's as simple as that. If you want to do it, do it, but if you don't want to don't waste your time.
-
honestly it really isnt that easy...i have tried but i just cant iono how to explain it
-
It's hard for you to stay with something you are a weak person!
-
well than thats great i must be a weak person....so how can i fix that....am i speakin english?
-
You fix can that by want to achieve something for yourself. Look into the future and see what it will do for you and how you'll benefit from it.

I'm like you im an inteligent person but im bloody lazy too. I'm only motivated in when im going to get something out of it. Ie, am motivated at work and i was motivated when i learnt how to drive. When i decided to play the guitar and goto the gym i wasn't so motivated. I guess with these you have to work at it for years to become any good at it.
IF i had sticked at the guitar/gym when i originally started i would be pretty good at the guitar and in pretty good shape. Look at it like that. Imagine yourself in 2/3 years what you'll be thinking. You'll be thinking "i wish i stuck with the guitar / gym...". Chances are you've got space in your life to fit this stuff in. Once ya get out in the real world, get a job etc getting things like this in then are a lot harder than they were...
-
Yes thats exactly what im talking about. And i do have a job, i also go to college so i know what you're talking about. I already do look back and wish i stuck with things that i didnt. Work i work my ass off, school i get lazy. But the gym i cant even get motivated to go at all, or at least if i do go i dont continue going. I know i will regret shit 2-3 years down the line but that still doesnt motivate me. Because its like no matter how much i tell myself i will regret it i still dont do it, then i do regret it. iono its confusing n im kinda stuck here

If you
re not motivated , you don
t really want to do it. So just quit , you`re wasting time -
To help you with your motivation, get find someone to go to the gym with you. It'll be good for you since you can bench press more because you have a spotter (your buddy) and you can push each other to go. I did just that and it worked wonderful because either I would call him up or he would call me up and we would meet and work out. Also for awhile we had it scheduled that we would meet and a certain time on certain days, then we would HAVE to go because we committed to going and we wouldn't want to let the other one down. That's how I stayed committed and i hope it'll help you.

I would recommend a friend to go with you also. I never did anything like that on my own, but when there was someone there i could go with, or they'd call me up to say we should go, i would
-
Yea i know, i just have no one to go with. My friends all go away to college, n everyone i sbusy with work and they dont even work out themselves that i know of. Ill have to figure somethin out
-
Im very similar. I quit many of the things I start but I try my best even tough I am so lazy.
