I need motivation to go on with my life
Those who have been following this blog for a while probably have noticed my lake of posting. The truth is for the last few weeks (already months) I’ve been very dis-motivated with the course my life is taking. I continue to be happily married, have my wonderful kids but when it comes to work related issues I’ve been quite disappointed.
I’m a full time worker, I work in an office, I have direct contact with my bosses and I must say they don’t treat us, employees, the right way. This is probably an issue in many companies and offices but this has been messing up my mind, my work and therefore my life.
Regarding work motivation mine runs under: “Write this report or you’re fired”.
There are days that I only feel like arriving home, lie down in bed alone and just cry. My back problems haven’t been a great help lately. The pain is worse and the tendinitis and a probable disk hernia have to wait until September to start being treated.
Of course not being happy at work affects my whole family life, I lose my patience quickly when dealing with my kids, I’ve got no motivation to go out, to go through the weekend because I already know I have to go back to work on Monday, it’s like a roller coaster.
Changing jobs is not an option right know, there are many factors involved that do not allow me to do that. Work for myself would be my choice but right now no ideas come up to my mind, especially because it’s difficult to create our own business around here. Many people do it but a few years later they give up because it just doesn’t work, but on the other side I’m also tired of being a whiner.
At work we try to get a smile from a co-worker with a joke or wearing funny t shirts but sometimes that’s not enough. The worse part, all co-workers are also des-motivated.
I’ve got to overcome this I just don’t know how. Any sugestions?

Wow…you have captured this sentiments in very right and crisply. I too exactly have the same feelings which has been described here. I almost gets puzzled that irrespective of consistent and positive performance with great teaming, why do I get this kind of treatment. Every time happens, either I work too hard or feel very depressed but still work. Somehow it takes out all the fun from the work which I love to do.
But I keep constantly one thing on my mind. It is that I work for THE ALMIGHTY LORD who created this world and protecting and watching all of us. No mortal like me can control my destiny and only who has a main switch is that Lord who is powerful, resourceful, merciful, positive, with no beginning and no end, who can be burned, who can not washed away, who can not be blown but who is every present everywhere. I work for that Mighty GOD and I make sure my every action and act is devoted for GOD.
This is my motivation. Hope this would be useful !!!!
Cheers…

Unfortunately, I can’t offer any advice – other than the completely lame usual stuff. But I do know how you’re feeling, except that in addition to the soul-sucking work environment, I am unhappily recently dumped by my boyfriend of three years that sent me into an unprecedented depression (for me) for two solid months. But I recovered from that, and I figure, if I can get through that, I can get through anything…even another day at the office….day…. after day….after day….

[...] really am not in a good phase of my life. I’m fed up with my work (I need motivation to go on with my life), my back pain is killing me and patience is something I lose very [...]
I was in a relativity same situation till i was lucky enough to find a new job. I’m not sure if there is away to get out of it. But a good trick that kept me going was keeping my mind set positive even though work was depressing I managed to lie to myself that work was still good and thank god for work! It really help me get past those tough 3 years of hating work and working 120 hour week with nothing to show for. Anyways I hope things brighten up for you soon. But don’t sulk over the bad times it just makes things worse. Be happy that you still have your wife and kids hanging out with you ;D I would give anything to still have mine.
I can understand you feeling low. A job can really make a difference to someones life. Fortunately i have a good job where i am treated well. If it is making you feel that bad, then maybe it is time to make a change. If thats the things you know is affecting all other aspects of your life then go find something else and enjoy doing it. Also if you have backpains, you can get your employer to provide you with a specialist chair. Also trying physiotherapy for your back pains, may help reduce inflamation. My mum works in an office, also with back pains – she had a slipped disk at one point, so having all that pressure on your back whilst sitting down can really make it that much worse.
Claire, thank you so much for your comments, I also appreciate your link to your site. I’ve already read most of the information available on the site regarding back pain and shoulder pain. There is useful and detailed information there. I will use your site link in a future post for sure.
I work in an office and being sat all day increases my back pain. I look forward to my doctor’s appointment to see what he says.
Always stay positive and concentrate on the little things. If you worry about too much at once, life/work is just going to overwhelm you. Focus on whats truly important in your life, and take one day at a time. Best of luck, keep on truckin!
