There are definitely some days where i just want to stay in my bed and not do anything. But during those times I starts thinking I can act upon my laziness or lack of enthusiasm for the day because I have the option to do so. Even though everyone feelings are valid when I think from other people perspective I find a different approach to life. Some times these people are imaginary. That's one way I motivate myself when I want a small push or when I feel so drawn out. Sometimes I do spend a lazy day but I make sure that it is not something I want to keep doing and I am not doing. We ourselves haven't find a reason to keep us motivated

It is often very difficult to find your passion! I also feel this way at times, but that is why you should explore options. Join a club, volunteer for an organization, learn something new, try a new hobby, travel, and spend time for yourself. For example, several websites can help you learn new things about several types of interests. Everyone can make a positive impact in this world so you should keep exploring how. Having some sort of passion is important in not only finding a career but finding the simple joy in life. Find inspiration from others and start observing things that you like to do.

I try to remind myself of the goals I want to achieve. I have a dream and for it to become real I know I have to work. As long as there are dreams there is a hope of reaching them. Wherever I get too stressed, I like to read. It gives you a different place to be for how ever long you wish. No matter how small the step might be, every step forward is a step closer to where I want to be. For me it's also important to remind myself, that my decisions don't have to make sense to others. I'm doing it for me, because it's my life everybody else has their own.

I try to ground myself. Take a couple deep breath. Look at my health if I’m eating properly getting enough sleep, Have I respected my body. Is there a reason why I have no passion or drive. Look deep into that and then look deeper into myself. By looking deeper into yourself you usually can find the answer if you know how to do it. then I just give myself a big hug because life’s hard.. We all should take a step back and remember let it be. You are doing the best that you can with the information you have at this moment.

There are several things I might do. I might call a family member and talk--or maybe a friend, if I felt like it wasn't appropriate for family. Or I might take a walk if I feel stressed, as that would clear my mind and allow room for new thoughts. Or I might make a cup of coffee, which improves my mood and also gives me time for thinking. I also think about my wife and daughter, who always give me motivation for being my best self. I love to spend time with my daughter, who is two, as she is very innocent and hasn't been corrupted by the evil influences in society yet.

I consider how much time I have to get to do all the things I want in life. Because the truth is, life is short, and our dreams and goals don't have time for having no motivation to do anything. I consider all the goals I want to accomplish, and how the future me is gonna look back and thank me for pushing through so that she could accomplish her dreams. Plus, a teacher of mine once said "90% of the work is just getting started." I know that I just have to push through the beginning and then everything will get better. It always does, no matter how bad things have to get first. It's all a matter of pushing through the darkness to see the light. You just have to get started.

Sometimes all you have is the small push to get through the daily grind. During those times, remember why you're doing it. Why did you pick that job? Who is the person you're texting, and why bother? What's the smell of your dish soap or the flower on the side of the road? Try to breathe and remember it won't wags be this way. You have the ability to survive the days that seem meaningless and there will be days on the other end that mean more to you. Likely this is a chemical imbalance and not your true self; do you need to reach out for help, or just endure until things improve?

I am currently a university student, and due to the pandemic, I have often lost my passion and motivation for my course. What gets me through is the excitement of earning a degree at the end, and working my way up in my career goals. Reminding yourself of why you are doing something can spark that passion all over again! If I am having a day where I just have no motivation at all, I will set myself regular breaks to recharge, and plan activities that I enjoy doing, so I have something to look forward to once I have been productive. What has been working for me recently is sticking on some headphones and playing some music really loud to lift my mood!

Passion is learned and built upon. A person I know said this about love "Everything is infatuation until you live and build a relationship with the person". I extrapolate it to passion and drive in life. When you feel burnt out, take a step back and in time you will find your answers. It is most difficult to be patient, but during that time keep yourself occupied with other activities like taking care of your health, hobbies, or any other activities that give you peace of mind. This in turn, will help you pass time and give you a fresh perspective by which you can look at the same problem with a renewed passion.

I like to write down how I'm feeling and use that as a creative guide. Writing down my feelings make me feel better, it's like an outlet, I should say. I feel safe, happy, and maybe even a little more positive. I like writing anyways, it's like my second job (after being a student). I am always writing, so much I get in trouble sometimes, haha. But writing makes me feel better, calms me down after a long day of work, yelling and maybe even crying. I have too many notebooks, some I use for multiple purposes, some for one.
