Lacking motivation. How to get my mojo back?

Lacking motivation. How to get my mojo back?

I've been seriously lacking the motivation to much at all of late. I'd rather just stay in bed all day. Don't get me wrong, I still do things, but only half heartedly. I am lacking enjoyment in anything. I'm supposed to the city's RNA show this weekend. Usually, I'd be excited at the prospect of seeing all the horse events, but I really don't care if I see them or not. I'm supposed to be studying, but can't be bothered either.

Has anyone got any tips for getting my mojo back?

Re: Lacking motivation. How to get my mojo back?

I don't have any good answers for ya @Queenie but I feel similarly much of the time. Getting adequate sleep seems to help me to feel more energetic/motivated, but aside from that I just try not to focus on supposed-to's (e.g. this is supposed to be fun, or I'm supposed to do this thing while I have time) and not put too much pressure on myself to get anything done.
If it's "supposed to be fun" but seems like work, then is it still something that I want to do or am I better off doing something else instead? People change, interests change, and it's ok to move on to something else if there's days where you're just not feeling it.
