I'm bone bloody idle and I'm beginning to **** myself off with it. Does anyone reckon a bit of hypnoterapy could help me? I just have no motivation or drive to do anything. The Mrs is getting really narked (althought she tries to hide it) and I do want to change, I just find it really hard to get up and going.

Just have a quiet word with yourself mate, works for me

NotoriousREV

Yes and I do work very hard, it's more my home life that's bothering me. It's not even doing big jobs around the house that's the problem, it's the little day to day things. It doesn't even enter my head to do the washing up until I hear the Mrs banging the plates loud to make a point, for example. It's like there's part of my brain wired to ignore this stuff.

The time has come for me to make more effort, which is the start of makng the big change (which only I can make) but if there's anything that can help me (like hypnotherapy) I'd like to give it a go. I guess I want the lazy route to becoming less lazy

Sounds like depression to me; especially if you give up half way through, cant concentrate on a task or cant see the point in starting. Try getting some excercise, if you can keep it up for a week or two then youll be hooked and its an excellent cure...

all sounds fairly normal

NotoriousREV

I think you may be right. I'm overweight and generally feel "not 100%" all the time. Problem is fitting in exercise with a full time job and a 7 month old baby, the Mrs wouldn't be impressed with me bogging off for 2 hours every night.

CooperS

Can't you take the little un out for a walk in the buggy, and take the missus at the same time?

NotoriousREV

I think you may be on to something there! Right, the plan tomorrow is: get home from work, have tea and then take the sprog out for half an hour and give the Mrs a break.
Sometimes the answer is staring at you in the face.

Been through this, gets better as the kids get older, honest, you dont need to exercise for 2 hours, 20 mins every couple of days, perhaps an hour when you get time, I go out on my Mountain bike and come back buzzing.

I sometimes get a bit overwhelmed by life, fairly responsible job, 3 kids, house, 2 cars, missus etc etc, you just have to chill and try and concentrate on whats important.

Go on, f*ck off out for a half hour walk and I guarantee you will feel better when you get back, clears your head.

have bouts of this problem myself i just get my *** off to the gym unbelivable what a couple hours down the gym does for your mood honest

jonc

Like you said, you work very hard at work, forget the gym, just relax at home, get a playstation and work on best laptimes on grand tourismo in your favourite car.

strewth, i found it the blandest experience....kept it up for a year

I heard something once that it takes 90% of your motivational effort to actually get up off your **** and do something, then once you are doing it, only 10% effort to keep it going.
Make an attempt to get over the 90% hurdle and you should be laughing.

Daz


..Either that or just buy one of those posters that has clouds and says motivation on the bottom of it. Should help.

Hello

It is also one of the signs of depression. Is your sexual desire going as well?

NotoriousREV

Well yeah, but the Mrs is knocking on a bit these days

BOB.T

I found myself being fed up at work, couldn't be arsed and even staying awake was a struggle! This week I've been out on the mountain bike a couple of mornings, just for 20 mins or so, it's made a huge difference! I found myself staying off here( !!! ) and actually doing some work and not only that, I'm more alert and the day even goes faster!

I'd deffo say it's worth a try!

It hasn't helped you to remember to do the washing up though...

Feeling that I may have helped gives me an enormous sense of well-being!

Wait 'til the nipper is mobile, you won't be sitting around then. Or put it this way.... if you still are, your missus has every right to do away with you. !

Me too

May have a drinking sesh, then a curry to celebrate (after the gym of course).

P.S. NotoriousREV did you take the little 'un out last night? Make you feel good?

GC8

If this is your idea of help fella, then I hope I dont turn to you when everythings f*cked!

Turbohot

I had that when someone drank every night and did nothing else but went to work,thats all!Its all upto you Nrev.Think about what all you could do with your time.Every moment is so prescious.You can enjoy life so much if you do do things!
Alcohol is bad and this society is gripped by it but not just alcohol,many other factors can effect motivation in your personal life e.g. wrong job,need of change in routine etc etc.Just make changes with even little things around you.Find interesting things like going for a walk,cinema etc with your family.
make an effort man!
You will be fine but if this fatigue continues without any reason,see the doc.
Good luck.

Red Bull. 3 cans and anyone's off the sofa.

Do a search on Anthony Robbins, read some of his books or listen to his tapes, he'll get you motivated!...
