Minute made monday's "Motivation"

Motivation anyone? if you got it can i borrow it?

Yeah you read correctly Mr. Jag has flat lined in the motivation category... not necessarily total motivation just a little... just enough to be stagnant which i despise... if any of y'all are anything like me i hate standing still... i never had a problem with sitting still as a kid as a matter of fact i didn't have very many kids to play with in my hood so i used to play by myself in the dirt in the middle of the hood until i got my first bike and shortly after started playing football.... but since I've been categorized and an adult(kid at heart) i think Ive acquired A.D.D. not in the sense that i have problems concentrating or listening but in the sense i don't like sitting still... I don't like monotony I like for things to change... I get bored easily... not in personally relationship because people are funny and emotions are interesting but just tasks mundane and frugal ones at that. Maybe i don't need motivation maybe i need counseling... either way it's time for change... Along with that i learned something about myself this weekend. I took a trip to the Eastern country side of Kentucky and i spent my weekend in the country... when i say country I'm mean the nearest Walmart is in a neighboring town... yeah exactly... but OK so i have this tendency to get cabin fever.. and cabin fever is an idiomatic term for a claustrophobic reaction that takes place when a person or group is isolated and/or shut in, for an extended period. Symptoms include restlessness, irritability, forgetfulness, laughter, and excessive sleeping. I feel like a caged animal when I'm shut in. Especially when both my phones had little to no service... i destroyed my brick break high score... i couldn't pick up any one's wireless service on my computer... no physical activities to do all the yard work was done... no gym... no means to release my energy... shew... you know what? I held it together... a year ago in that same environment i might have taped all the pillows in the house together and made a punching, kicking, wrestling, dummy to destroy... i would have paced the house till i rubbed holes in my socks...thought of some in genius invention and tried to make it with household items...pause... now the thing is i always write something creative in those environments but since I'm on a ten day creative relief i just have to store those things in the back of my mind until Friday then i might go hard for 30 days straight poems and stories...

OK SO... I need motivation right? What do you think?

Sometimes you have to leave the situation and come back to it..it is then your motivation will reappear.

I'm a little like you, in the sense that I get bored easily. And I definitely lack motivation from time to time.

But I find that I always bounce back and my creative spirit awakens.

It'll happen to you in no time:)
