Motivation

[Genie]

I'm not sure why, but I hardly ever feel motivated to post on here anymore. It's not because of the forum, or the people, but it's because of something else... I'm not sure what though? Can somebody provide me with any tips to boost my motivation to post, because I love everybody here; you're all awesome

 

[The Dragon Master]

Hmmm... I suppose we could all do something to interest each other more I think. Like posting new topics and such.



I was going to give some tips on boosting motivation, but my mind went blank

You could also, make suggestions on what, you feel, may need improving (i.e. more contests etc) and we could see what we could do.

 

[Genie]

Hmm... that's the problem; I'm not sure what it is that makes me less motivated. I remember coming here and being full of enthusiasm. Then, suddenly I just can't seem to be bothered to post... :S

 

[The Dragon Master]

I don't know what to suggest. When I'm lacking in motivation, I tend to eat a lot of sugar and drink lots of caffeine, but that might not work with everyone.



You could start posting topics on what you find interesting and see if there's anyone that shares the same interests.

 

[Genie]

It's fine, I don't expect a bundle of suggestions anyway

Meh, I doubt that would work for me.



I'm not sure what I'd create threads about. Nothing really interests me, as I'm quite a boring person. As I type this I'm slouched and I'm not really paying attention to anything. Oh, and I love the feeling of being able to type fast without looking at the keyboard. It's awesome

 

[The Dragon Master]

Meh, your not a boring person! Don't put yourself down like that!



Maybe it's old age?

(Sorry to people who may find that offensive

)



I can't type like that. Though I type pretty fast looking at the keyboard.

 

[Genie]

Hehe, I think I'm boring.



15 is waaaaaaaay to old, yes

Awesome, awesome.

 

[The Dragon Master]

Don't look at yourself like that!



I'm 18 and feel like 60 at the moment XD



Of course it is

 

[Genie]

Haha, how can you feel like 60?

My back hurts and I have the sniffles

Hello Jazz! Thank you I'll check it out.

 

[Evil Eye]

Is there something else you do want to do?

 

[Genie]

Hey EE. What do you mean?

 

[Jazzy]

Hello Genie! I think EE means have you lost all your motivation or just your motivation to post here. In other words, are you motivated to do other things other than posting.

 

[Genie]

Hey

Ohh.

I mean I've lost motivation to do certain things. Some examples are listed below.



- Post on forums

- Update my blog

- Play games properly

- Work properly in school



I just can't seem to be bothered to do anything, for some reason, and it's getting me down. Meh, I just feel like the typical teenager; depressed and as though life is pointless.

I don't think the typical teenager is depressed and feels like life is pointless. I feel from reading this that you are feeling depressed and there is something bothering you that you need to address. How long have you been feeling like this?

 

[Genie]

I'm not sure - it's usually on and off.



Ooh, just had a thought. Music is really inspirational and I haven't listened to music for AGES, because of the lack of a sound card on my PC. Earlier, I uploaded some songs to my iPod and now I'm listening to music, and guess what? I suddenly am very motivated to post quite a lot. Do you think music is the reason?

 

[Jazzy]

Music is a great inspiration Genie and perhaps you missed it so much it caused you to get a little down. Glad you were able to download some and are now getting your motivation back.

Thanks very much, Jazzy
