I have problems a lot with getting motivated and I am only 16 (I should have so much energy they say). But I don't. Sometimes what I do to get more motivated is I make myself laugh. I feel that when I'm laughing I feel more motivated to do things. Someone had said about painting, I draw but when I'm not motivated I don't even feel like doing that. I have MDD and motivation is hard so thats why I make myself laugh. And making yourself laugh doesn't have to be trying to force yourself to smile. Sometimes I go online and type in "Funny quotes" on Google. Other time I dance to music while no one is around just to be happy. ((HUGS))
