how to keep motivated

[bitterguy28]

is anyone feeling a bit tired and lazy during the holidays especially after christmas and before new year's? it feels like you are still recovering from the christmas spirit while at the same time waiting for the new year's to start so you are left in the middle of this weird time period where you do not feel like doing anything

am i the only one that feels like this? or do you also feel like time is moving weirdly? and if yes what do you do to stay motivated?

I do feel bored and lazy sometimes, but I think it's because my daily routine is quite similar and I've never spent time on holiday for years now. I feel like I get burned out now and then, which is why whenever I feel lazy I take a break and read novels. Usually after one or two days, that feeling disappears and I can work as usual. I'm not sure if it will work for you, especially when I don't know whether our daily routine is similar or not. I do think that a break i quite important so that we don't feel burdened when our daily life is monotonous.

Yeah, I also sometimes feel unmotivated and lazy during the holidays. It’s like your brain is still in holiday mode and lowkey waiting for the new year to start fresh. I get motivated by doing small things like cleaning the house or taking a walk to be refreshed. You can plan also for the things you want to accomplish in 2025. It gives you something to look forward to and might energize you.

I am currently at that stage where I know I should be doing something productive but then tell myself that it's okay, that I deserve the rest that you are getting now. I agree that in some cases it's a bad thing but it would depend on what you should do. It's like that, IMO.

I have formed habits that have been with me for a long time, and I continue to do it even if I'm unmotivated. I rely on what I need to do and not think of myself, which is necessary. Like exercise.

Its understandable on a holiday season on which everyone is really that tired considering that this is a long week holiday then everyone will really be that exhausted on which its normal but if we do speak about future plans specially on the things you do in 2025 then this is something that you do really need up to consider out. If you do get bored then go hang out with your family and if you are tired then take a sleep then wake up on which have something to do so that you wont be thinking about something else. Motivation could be felt at the moment that you do set up some goals on which you are that planning to achieve on this upcoming year. There's no assurance that it might happen but at least we had set our goals so that we do get inspired.

We can keep getting motivated by not giving up, things may be hard on us, but we have to be determined for what we are running after not to give up until we have achieved them, there is also good advantage in making persistence, not because we are being adamant about something, but because we realized the potential in wht we are going after and how we could achieve what we want from it by not giving up or losing hope in it.

I will give the same advice here as I do to keep myself motivated. I basically try to watch podcasts with success stories of different entrepreneurs regularly. And watching them automatically motivates me. And I think there is a possibility of doing these things for others as well. Which will pressure you to give extra time to reach your goal.

And of course, I will give you another suggestion and that is to keep your life in a regular routine. Especially, sleeping time needs to be strictly according to the routine. Because if there is noise while sleeping, then your routine for that day will also be disturbed.

This Christmas holiday is what I have been longing for before it happened. How will I feel weird or lazy when we are in the mood of Christmas celebration that almost everyone is happy to see their family members that they stayed long before seeing? That doesn't make sense if I should say. It should be an act of laziness

However, I must say that it has been a positive energy I have been displaying since I started my Christmas holiday. It has been from one fun to another with family and friends

There is nothing wrong in feeling that way, if you are tired, there is also nothing wrong in resting, taking a few days off or something like that, it is all for the better and so that you return refreshed and ready to go again. However, it is normal to have this feeling during the festive period, who wants to leave the side of their loved ones, but work calls.

If I will answer this around 5-10 years ago, I might feel the laziness that you are saying. Now in my current age, it already came to a point where holidays like this is just a normal day with me. Maybe the only difference is that I'm able to spend more of my time with my family and now, we're more now as my family members will gather together to spend the holiday season.

It's not only you that's for sure as there might be some here that are experiencing the same as you are. Now how to I stay motivated? Just think of your "WHY". Why you are doing something. Think of your future goals. Think of the possible problems that you might face if you will not make any actions. That will keep you motivated.

I believe it's just a temporary thing because of the holiday theme/mood/situation everywhere we go. It's understandable though since most people take days off and mandatory leave by government policy so that people can spend their time on family stuff.

Years ago, I overthink about this issue just like you... But now I rather use this chance to rest and have fun. And here I'm already posting on the forum because my energy got replenished. As a wise man says: "work hard, play hard"

If you want yourself motivated then the first thing you need to do is wake up early, I would say 5:00 am then we will feel fresh and can able to accomplish many things effectively. It's better to feel tired/exhausted than being lazy so just keep your mindset clear that you will not relax and deviate from what you try to accomplish.

You're not alone on this one, and that's normal; its the aftermath of the holiday atmosphere where you just feel like you want to be alone and just sleep it off, but a day before the New Year you will feel the excitement again. I just let it pass by, and sometimes its not only on the holiday all through the year; you will feel this within you. Just be positive by remembering the great times and thinking of your goal, which will make you get back to your motivation.

You are certainly not the only one who feels this way, we all feel the same sometimes, the reason is that we are away from the routine of work and daily life that we are used to for a long time and after the holidays you find it a little difficult to return to work especially if the holiday is long.

This is a temporary condition and goes away quickly once you return to work, but in general it is necessary to get away from work for a short period and spend some time with family and friends and perhaps travel to the countryside for a day or two as the change of place and the beautiful nature helps a person to relax and regain his energy significantly.

Christmas is coming and christmas means eating cake, going for a walk, having a lot of fun and spend time for our family. Many of us love to spend time with our loved ones on this day. Not only that, on this day they eat cake together and go for a walk. Also on this day we all go out with friends. There are many people who like to stay alone in a single house and many people are very lazy and because of that they stay away from this big day celebration. I think a break in your busy life is very important so that you never feel alone. Everyone wants you especially on christmas day and everyone wants to get the best gift from you.
