[Request] Motivate me to complete my access course

Hi all,

I started an access to higher education course to progress in work and I'm about half way through.

The issue is I find it really hard to motivate myself lately. I suffer with depression and have done for a long time so the negative motivation i.e. deadlines I have relied on before just don't work.

Any help is much appreciated.

[Request] Help me get my sh*t together, any motivation welcomed

hi, i have a very important exam thursday, and i barely started

around 12 hours of content to go through and maybe 3 hours of reading that i might be tested on. I'm allowed to have 1 cheat sheet.

Its a very hard psychology class (not my field, i usually studdy neuro), and this is the final exams that will count for 68% of my final grade.

I've always been a straight A student and i usually start weeks in advance, but this is the first class i'm just completly depressed just thinking about studying.

I'm applying to my dream program in November so this grade could very much change the outcome of my life. I cant fail. I cant even be average. Yet i cant get myself to read one page.

please help

[Request] 6-week expedition

I'm going on a 6-week expedition to research ways to improve the lives of the green sea turtle in Mexico (I'm from england). I'm doing this to collect data for my dissertation. I am 20- never been away from home for more than 2 weeks- I have never been away from any friends or family for more than a day. I'm getting really nervous about this trip (leaving my dog, family and friends), but know that it will benefit me greatly in the long run in terms of my dissertation and career. Someone please motivate me to continue with this!

[request] Hard time at work, need a pep talk!

Hey y'all. Been having issues lately at work. I work for a computer manufacturer's IT support team. Couple months ago got an asshole on the phone that tore me a new one. Turns out he gave me ptsd that i'm currently seeing help for, but ever since then it's been hard to even sit down on the chair. I love technology and have been passionate about it since childhood, it sucks fearing something you love.

[Request] is this sub alive? I have been slacking since about a week before thanksgiving at work and around the house. I am having trouble getting my shit together - motivate me?

I went on mini vacation for thanksgiving and took off for Christmas, I’m really having a hard time getting myself motivated every day to get back to working. I work for myself and do okay, after a good year and about 1.5 months off I am having a hard time staying motivated to work.

[request] please help me with ideas on how to motive myself to do exercise daily.

like most people i’m not happy with my body. unlike most people i obsess unhealthily over it. not a day goes by where i’m not extremely upset about it. and what makes me even more of a pain, is that i never exercise. i’m in a calorie deficit every day but NEVER exercise. because i absolutely despise of all types. i squat every once in a while with my boyfriend but that’s not really doing anything for me. i need something that will force me to get up and exercise everyday without making me want to cry in the process. because what am i supposed to do? continue to live my life miserably either route i go down? if anyone has any ideas on how to help me that would be awesome. if not thank you for reading anyways and i hope you have a wonderful day.

[Request] please help motivate me with doing the dishes

So my wife and I have not done the dishes in a couple of weeks and I'm tired of the sight. I know that it won't take as long as i think it would and all i have to do is get in there and work it, but I have just not had the energy in these last few weeks. I cleaned the whole house yesterday and was on a roll until it got to the dishes and then I just huffed and sat on the couch and relaxed for far too long. If you have the time, please motivate me to get off my ass to do the work. Thank you so much

[REQUEST] 35 year old unhealthy diabetic in need of advice and motivation.

So, the things is self explanatory, to be honest, but I'll give you deets.

I'm a 35 year old guy with a 3 month old kid with my girlfriend. I'm a lawyer dealing with income tax and GST, but not a trial lawyer. I'm more of a consultant. I'm fairly well-to-do although the COVID lockdowns have affected us all. My girlfriend prefers to be a stay-at-home mum and she's doing a fab job.

The problem is this: I am a diabetic and can fairly say that I'm not in good health. I am like a 5'10 and am on the heavier side, around 175 pounds.

Till a few years ago, I did a lot of 10 day camping trips into the mountains and finished hikes. Yes, I wheezed and huffed and went red finishing them, but I did.

I'm not highly motivated to keep myself healthy. I know some might say that it's the stress of a new kid, but that's not it. I've been like this since the past 10 to 12 years. It's not that I don't love my kid and my girl, but I've become extremely withdrawn. I'm also suffering from dysthymia and am on meds, but I keep having bad days.

I WANT to get healthier and get better. I don't want to be a bloody obese asshole to my kid when he's old enough to go hiking and camping. I'd love to be a hands on dad.

But when that downward spiral begins, I just can't get out of bed.

Help me be a better and fitter person, strangers!

Or is 35 too late to begin???

[Offer] If you're an only child, when you think about, it's actually pretty cool to not have siblings.

Growing up, I was always alone. I mean, I had friends, but whenever I was at home? I didn't really have anybody to confide to or have fun with. Yes my mom was there (my dad left us), but back then and even now, I could never really talk to her because she either judges me too much or thinks that my likes and interests are a waste of time. I love her but yeah, we don't really get along.

Looking back, I'm actually pretty glad that I was an only child. For one, any gifts I was given were mine and mine alone. I didn't have to share them with anyone and I simply enjoyed them.

Another thing is that I always had privacy. Other than my mom suddenly barging in my room from time to time, I actually had a good amount of alone time. It gave me time with my thoughts and how I could go about in life in a way that lets me enjoy it. Plus, I wanted to do certain things any healthy young and growing boy would have done and having no siblings made that a hell of a lot easier.

And lastly, I don't have to worry about sibling-related problems. I know that some people like the thought of having a brother and sister and being close to them, but what if you're not? What if you guys can't stand each other and all you do is drive each other crazy? As an only child, I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that. Some people are lucky enough to be close to their siblings to the point where they never have to worry about things straining their relationship and good for them. But I can still have sibling-like relations with some of my close friends so I'm good with that I guess.

So yeah, being an only child can actually be pretty cool. For all my only child peeps out there, I hope you guys are enjoying your lives. Oh, I also made something for those who are still having trouble in finding the happiness that comes with being an only child. Hope it manages to help anyone.

[Offer] If you even think about procrastinating, really consider the consequences. Actually think whether or not it's worth putting things off.

I'm a person who used to procrastinate a lot. I mean, I kinda still do now, but not the extent that I did back then.

If I know that it's something important, I do it right away. I had to learn a hard lesson because I did something super last minute that nearly cost me my future (It was college-related and I don't feel comfy sharing it just yet.)

So if you guys ever think about putting things off, just think about all of the possible negative effects it'll have. It may just make you wanna do things right away. Worked for me anyway.

Oh and I also made something that may just help those who have difficulty in being productive. You don't have to click on it because I'm just hoping this post manages to help anyone. But if you do, hopefully it helps you.

[request] I`ve lost motivation to study

(I made a reddit account just to post this)

I stared high-school this year. I live in Italy here high schools are divided by what do you want to study. I chose a linguistic, I study:English French Spanish and latin(only for 2 years.)

the thing is, i feel like i`ve bit more than I can chew. I`m dyslexic and that makes it even harder.

my grades are bad but for some reason I can't get my self to study more. dont get me wrong I love this school and would like to continue to study there but if my grades don't go up I might have to repeat the school year. and if I do that my parents said I have to change school.

[OFFER]"The past was yours but the future is mine. You're all out of time" Is one of my favorite quotes from The Stone Roses. Maybe TOXIC people had it better when you were younger. However, now that you are older NO one can stop you. You should go chase your dreams!

If you like this post follow r/Crimsonpill and message me to join the private mastermind group.

I wanted to share this quote since I see many of my student gets unmotivated due to their past. They can't see that the past is the past. You have developed as a person since you left high school or college and now without those artificial constrains you can be free to realize your full potential.

[OFFER] "Anything could happen and it could be right now and the choice is yours to make it worthwhile," is one of my favorite quotes of all time. It shows how we have agency and can make a difference in our lives.

If you like this post follow r/Crimsonpill**.**

'The first step is to give yourself permission to do something GREAT. People fear the responsability that comes doing what you like. People don't realize that if they fail they can start again from where they left off as opposed to starting from scratch.

Also here's the music video from the New Zealand band The Clean where these saying comes from. The band took it from a religious text.
