Originally, this was just going to be a super whiny, ranty, post. And as cathartic as that may be, it would also be useless.
I don't actually
want to be ranty and unmotivated. So I'm trying to "look on the bright side". Of course, I couldn't do it for all of these so called "problems," but I attempted. Here goes:
Problem: I am unmotivated.
Solution: Maybe if I actually did something useful instead of whine about crap, I would feel better. People have real problems. There are real issues in the world that are far bigger and badder than anything I could possibly whine about.
That doesn't make me feel better.
Problem: I am having an ugly day... you know those days when you just throw on whatever, but you don't feel "cute"? And because my outfit isn't cute, I am unmotivated to put on make up.
Solution: Put on some damn make up and try again tomorrow.
Problem: My office is empty. Most of the staff is at a training in Texas. Until Thursday. It's too quiet in here.
Solution: Get over it. They're coming back Thursday, and you complain when they are hear blabbering about nonsense anyway. Enjoy it! Put on some music and get to work.
I'm liking this one right now.
Problem: 2 of my friends don't work here anymore, and that makes me sad.
Solution: none found. Womp.
Problem: My other friend is out sick. She is my lunch buddy. For the last 2 days, I haven't left my desk at lunch, and that makes me sad too.
Solution: Get up and go outside for a walk. Or just sit. Just go outside.
Problem: I had a cute day yesterday, but no one noticed because my friends aren't here and 3/4 of my office is out. Or maybe it wasn't that cute, but I felt cute, and isn't that half the battle?
Solution: Take a picture. Put it in the rotation.
Problem: I don't have a lot of work to do. And I'm really tired of "making up projects" to look busy. The little work I do have is super boring.
Solution: Talk to people. Offer to help others. But first, do the boring stuff.
Problem: Going to work and going home in darkness sucks.
Solution: Seasons change. Again, get over it!
Problem: I want a whole day to read. Or bake. Or blog, but with pictures and interesting stories. Or attempt to cook some of the amazing recipes I've been pinning.
Solution: Take a vacation day. You have plenty.
Problem: I want a vacation.
Solution: See above. And below.
Problem: My mom wants me to go to PR before the end of the year. I wanted to go on a birthday vacation for my big 12/12/12.
Solution: Take a birthday vacation to PR? I actually never thought of that... maybe this is more helpful than I thought!
Problem: I want to not hurt my friends by saying insensitive things. Even if it was an accident.
Problem: I want to go home and not plop my big booty down on the couch and not move for the rest of the night. I want to have the energy, motivation, and time to do things.
Problem: I want to end the cycle. Wake up, get ready, go to work, be bored, go home, eat, repeat.
Problem: I want to not be so dang. whiny.
Solution: Write it out!
What do you do when you're unmotivated or generally blah?
