    At this moment I feel like I have no motivation left. I was having a very nice day today, I was more interested in studying today as I engaged and understood actively in my lab and lecture. I was feeling pretty happy and was also wondering why I was complaining about university studies, even though they are so much fun and interesting. By this afternoon, my motivation dropped down to 50%, I thought maybe it’s because I might be tiered. But then there was this sudden feeling of low motivation, which just hit me with no reason. I don’t feel like studying for my test tomorrow and after seeing my math homework grade I feel my motivation dropped down to 0%.  Now I feel like crying, whether I am just lazy. But I feel sad, I suddenly don’t want to meet anyone, I just want to lie on my bed and do nothing.

    Dear Debolina:

    Yesterday you were engaged in your classes, lab and lecture, and “was feeling pretty happy”. Later your motivation dropped to 50%, cut in half. You asked yourself why and came up with a possible answer: “I might be tired”.

    Soon afterwards, your motivation dropped significantly, “which just hit me with no reason”, and you didn’t feel like studying for a test that takes place  today. You then learned that you got a poor grade in your math homework and your motivation dropped to 0% and you “just want to lie on (your) bed and do  nothing”.

    Our feelings/ emotions don’t stay the same. They are like the weather. At the beginning of yesterday, it was sunny and the sky was clear. Later some clouds appeared, blocking the sun. Later it started to rain.

    When we have a job to  do, be it as a student or an employee or a parent, we have to practice self discipline so to do a good job no matter how we feel, to do  a job well  in winter, spring, summer and fall.When you practice self discipline successfully, that will make you feel better.

    When you gave up on doing your job yesterday (studying for the test), you called yourself lazy (“Now I feel like crying, whether I am just lazy”). If you studied for the test regardless of zero motivation, you would have felt an appreciation and respect for yourself. You would have thought something like: I am hard working, I worked and did a good job with no motivation, impressive!

    How are you feeling today and will you practice self discipline today (as well as reward yourself for a good job done)?

    Thank you so much Anita!

    I am feeling better today. I think you are right, our emotions keep on changing, but how we decide to act upon them is what matters in the end.  Earlier I was thinking that there is something wrong with me but after reading your post I feel much better! Next time I will try to be more disciplined towards my tasks.

    Thank you so much for your help! 🙂
