How can I find MOTIVATION in life?

I am not a depressed girl. I find that I have been lacking motivation to do things for about three years now. I'm 21 and in college. I also have a job, which I like, but it's very hard for me to be happy all the time and get motivated to do the things that I have to do such as go to work, go to get groceries, or even go to class. It seems that all I wanna do all day is do nothing, watch TV and sit in front of the computer. It seems that I see everything other than doing this as a challenge. How can I find motivation and stop being such a slacker? I don't want it to affect my career in the near future.

Answer:
Sometimes it helps to start organizing your life and setting small, attainable goals. (SMART)http://www.topachievement.com/smart.html...

If you give your self just a few things to do each day you will gain momentum and it will get less dfficult to get moving.

Also, you can do a strategic life plan, it really helped me to get my priorities in line.

Lastly, if you start getting some regular exercise you will feel more energetic.

Oh, one more thing, if you have health insurance, you can call and them to see if you have access to "health coaching" which can really help you get started.

Good luck!

You say you are in college - so are you motivated to do your homework and attend class? Is there one subject that appeals to you more than others? It sounds like you do have depression, despite your affirmation in the negative. Join some interest group on campus, or volunteer, get out of your house and do something. Exercise. Sign up for Big Sisters program. Invite some friends over for a conversation group or book club. And go talk to a counselor. Your job may just be something to pay the bills. You are young enough to still be exploring what interests you in life, and that's where you will find motivation.
Good luck!
