  You Need Some Motivation

  It sounds like you're probably just having an off day or are maybe feeling a bit sick. You seem to actually like and enjoy your job. That's great! Not a ton of people can say that. Everyone has these days and no one wants to go to work every single day, so it's okay to feel this way. You might need a day off to feel better. Or maybe you just need to find a way to re inspire yourself and get motivated again. You could be in a funk if you've been feeling this way for a while so maybe it's time to spice things up a bit! It seems like your in a good place and have a good job so make the most of it! There are probably a lot of opportunities to learn new things, improve skills and maybe even get promoted into a job you like even better. Make sure to give your best everyday and if you need some extra time or motivation that's okay. Feel free to talk to your coworkers you trust or your boss if you are feeling upset about certain aspects of your job. Don't keep quiet if something is bothering you, get it out there and fix it so you can do your best at work.

  ​You Need a Break

  Everyone needs to rest, including you! When was the last time you had a vacation? Everyone deserves and needs a vacation, even if it's just a stay-cation. Try to take regular vacations and time off to rest and rejuvenate. When's the last time you spent money on something for yourself? A pedicure only cost about $20 and gives you almost an entire hour to relax. Take yourself out to see a movie. Buy yourself a new outfit. You deserve it. Even just little breaks throughout your day can help if you currently have a packed schedule or little cash and an actual vacation just isn't an option at the moment. Take an extra few minutes in the bathroom to do a face mask. Wake up an hour earlier to read and meditate. Take the dog on a walk. Small things add up. And don't feel bad for taking a break and relaxing, everyone needs time to rest. You're only human. Even God rested.

  ​You Need a New Job

  Sometimes the reason you don't want to go to your job is because you need a new one. Maybe you just don't like the actual job, the people you work with, the schedule, your boss or all of the above. Sometimes work is so draining that when you come home you can't even fully relax and you have no energy left for yourself and your family. Sometimes the work you do leaves you feeling empty inside, like there has to be more to life than this. Spending 8 hours a day 5 days a week doing something that feels pointless and boring isn't the best way to live. What you need is a job that motivates and inspires you. A job that you actually look forward to and want to be a part of. What type of work would make you feel good at the end of the day? What are you good at? What have you always wanted to do? Figure out what it is you want and need from a job and if you're not getting it from your current one then it's probably time to find a new job that can meet your needs.

  Sometimes it feels like you just don't have enough time to do all the things that you actually want to be doing. Even if you have a good job you enjoy, going to work everyday can make you feel like you're wasting time if there are other things you'd rather be doing. So the first thing to figure out is what is it you'd rather be doing? What's missing or needs improvement in your life? Once you do that then you can take steps to make yourself feel more fulfilled in your person life. If you need help figuring it out, click here to take this quiz, What Do You Need More of in Your Life?. Some people have long to do list of things like go back to school, writing a book, spending more time with the kids or learning a new language. Many of us keep telling ourselves that we are going to do something year after year only to never actually do it. That leaves us feeling unfulfilled and like something is missing. Use your time wisely and make things that are important to you priorities. Sure you might have to work an 8 hour day, but how can you maximize the rest of your time? How can you fill your down time with activities that inspire and make you happy? If you have needs that go unmet then it makes it hard to get up in the morning and go to work day after day, no matter how great your job is. And who knows, maybe one day you'll be able to quit your job and spend more time on things you love. If you are already doing those things then it will be an easy transistion.
