How will you motivate if you feel demotivated?

I wish I could do that right now. Sigh!!! I really miss hanging out with my friends. Well, I already talked to my Manager about me having a vacation leave next week. He agreed. :) Maybe I just really need a break and just like what you said a time to relax. :)

Yeah,you should have a break to relax.Hope you have a good vacation!^^~~

Yes you are right and that is the hardest part ( to be a role model). You cannot afford to fail people who look up to you. Sometimes when I would talk to one of my staffs why they were absent or late or why they had this bad attitude towards work they would share to me their personal problems that is affecting their work. I just can't tell them that actually I've been in a situation worst than theirs but I did not let that affect my work because If I did then I would not be in a position where I am at right now. As a part of the Leadership Team you would not want to fail by letting your personla problems affect your work. I can't bring my problems in the office. I always have to look happy to create a good and positive environment and energy to my staffs.

You are a great guy. Improve your Leadership everyday & see the result!

Thank you for your encouraging and inspiring words. It really feels good that there are people her in mylot who are ready to listen and even give a piece of advice. That alone is enough to make me feel better. :)

Hahaha! I feel better now compared to last week. :) That's exactly what I tell myself each time I feel sad or down, "Hey cheer up! Everything will be fine and tomorrow will be a new and better day for you!" Thanks Hubfee!

Hi MrKennedy! That seems to be a good way to relax and to be re-motivated. Actually, I think one of the reasons I feel demotivated right now is because I really need a long vacation leave. The last time I had one was last September. Eventhough I have two days rest day I still need to go to the office sometimes to do other tasks designated to me. It is my rest day today but I have to drop by in the office because our Manager asked me to do our Business Review Report. Urrrggghhh!!

That is actually a good suggestion. Sometimes telling our problems or worries to someone important to us or close to us will make us feel better. I also do that one. I pour out my emotions, anger and even worries to my husband and friends. Though it does not resolve the issue it seems to help lighten the burden.

Hi Vanitasuri! Thank you for your advice. I would definitely try that one. My work is like a toxic. That is the reason I am always looking forward for my rest day. Though it is like a toxic I cannot live my work because it pays me well. :( You know what motivates me to go to work everyday? My good friends in the office. That is why if ever they will leave the company because some of them have intentions of resigning I would really be so sad and might really be demotivated.

Hi Shylade! Thanks for your response. It's good to know I'm not alone in this situation. Just like you I also have to do some of the tasks of our Manager that is even if they are around and if they are not around then I have to do all of it. What really drains me is the fact that there are 15 Supervisors in our floor but all of them rely on me. Sometimes I just want to explode in irritation especially when I have to remind them of their tasks. When the Manager is not around I just don't need to handle my people but I also have to handle all the Supervisors. Well, my immediate Manager is my very close friend. We were already very close friends before he became a Manager. Actually, he also used to be my Supervisor. He is my mentor. I understand that he just wants me to learn everyhting about the business since he wants me to grow. Sometimes I tell him I'm so tired and exhausted. He would then ask me if I want to have long vacation leave. Most of the time I would say No just give me at least one day leave. Why? Because there are 4 Managers in our Department but he is doing all the tasks. Soemtimes he would tell me how he feels so drained and tired. That is the reason I can't leave him alone. Soemtimes I would tell him, "You know what how about we try one day to be incompetent?" Ten he would laugh and tell me, "As if you can!" Yeah! I can't! No matter how tired I am I would always be competitive in everything I do just like him. Anyways, he is gay that is why we are very close to each other. Thank you for sharing your thoughts to me and also for the advice! :)
