Not in the mood

Was there ever a time in your life that you were not in the mood to do anything? You are at your workplace and you see a lot of work to do and you have to finish it but unfortunately you can't because you are just not in the mood to do so... Or you are so excited to log in to your myLot account or facebook perhaps and check on the new discussions but you just can't seem to respond to any because you are not in the mood to respond... I feel so like this today..I hate the feeling of not being in the mood to do stuff. Can you suggest anything that will change my mood to something productive and fun? Or can moods changed easily by something or someone?

I have also felt this way about things before. Work related or even just fun related. Today I came online because I woke up early and wanted to earn, I earned for awhile and then got tired and wanted to go back to bed or read. Well I tried to go back to bed but was too anxious to read. Now that I've read for a few minutes, a line in the book I was reading made me want to get online and start earning again. It's one big cycle, and I am just not sure what to do with myself. I also want to put the books my husband and I just got up on our bookshelf but as he is sleeping I don't want to disturb him by rustling the bags and putting the books up. Sometimes your in the mood to do things, and either it's too many things or you just don't want to disturb people!

I like to sing when working, I usually hum, mumble or whistle. I don't do it for long or often but it gets the day by faster atleast. There was one job I worked where the place was going out of business so no customers were ever inside. I hummed to myself from time to time but as we were having to count things and price them I couldn't do much of that because I had to concentrate. I remember dreaming of counting at night I had to count so much in one day!

Lol..I agree. When i feel like singing out loud in my office, i simply just can't for the others might get disturbed or can't concentrate on what they are doing. Sometimes even if we feel like doing stuff we just can't for we don't want others to be disturbed. Thanks for sharing

Hi gaiza12, the same situation would happen to me as well at times between. It's really depressing if there is totally not any mood to deal with either the myLot or facebook activities which always interest me whenever I log in to them. Yeah, seems like there isn't any thing to write with for lack of inspiration I couldn't tolerate the boredom hanging around the same site. I usually would stay away from the site straight away for a while. I will try to do some other activities that still could engage my interest. Yeah, it's wise to seek and to participate in either online or offline activities which could get myself refreshed. Computer game playing surely will get myself energetic and refreshed again most of the time. After that the interest of working in myLot site would resume again Happy posing

I enjoy my leisure time partially with my friend. The remaining free time I indulge in my personal interesting activities. I like spending my daily life time in diversified ways. There are different joy and fun to be with friends as well as alone.

Not a sporty type of person but going out with friends might help..that's if we all have the time to go out. Thanks for sharing and have a good day :)

I have had this feeling more times than i would to count. We do so many things through our day. Sometimes we just want to get away from it all and do absolutely nothing. There is nothing wrong with that. This gives us the time we need to reflect on problems and situations in our lives. we can also kick back and relax and enjoy life. When we are not in the mood to do something, it doesn't mean that we are angry with anyone or anything. it just means we want a little time out.

I felt similar to this last night. So know what I did. I shut off the computer. I shut off the t.v. I decided as much as I like the discussions and need to try to make money, I also needed a break from it all. So I took a bath. Then put on my pajamas, got in bed early with a good book. Read for an hour and fell asleep nice and early for once. Not productive, but how refreshing. Now today I am back on and ready to tackle it all.

Well I guess it's about time for me to stop everything and take a few minutes off to relax my mind and just think of nothing in particular. The burden that im carrying right now from all the problems im facing is a bit heavy already maybe that's why i feel lazy to carry all the load. Thanks for sharing

Just earlier today I had something pretty, well, it wasn't horrible but it did cause a lot of drama happen. I pretty much lost all will to do things that I was probably supposed to do, but I am okay now. :] I am willing to get online and fill out mylot when earlier the idea of that just seemed really upsetting to me. I think I kind of needed this, actually. :D

Usually i am always in a good mood but it can change when people irritate me or something. It also depends on the weather and if i got enough sleep the night before :)

Maybe absinto means that her mood would also depend when she gets enough sleep the night before. Yes I think that could also be a factor for my mood today, I didn't get enough sleep last night. Maybe I should rest for awhile..while at work..hehe..

Far too many times to count, I was not really feeling something. A lot of the time was it was something that had to be done right then, like a quiz for school for instance. That was the last thing I wanted to do at that point in time but it had to be done. I think those times, its just best to get on with it, as it will be done and then you don't have to deal with that particular thing today again. If it is something that you don't have to do, it is best to do something else. After all, no need to force the issue, especially when you do not have to force the issue. Doing something else will perhaps get you ready to do something that can be done much later. I find that going away from something and doing something else is the best course of action for these things. Sometimes, we just need a day off.

Oh, I had that mood many times lately. I was so eager to open my lot, I opened discussions that I like to respond to, but then my mind went blank and I was not in the mood anymore. At the end, I closed them. It happened with works, too. I have my own deadlines but I just can't seem to do it recently despite of the many slow hours in the office. I am just not in the mood. Usually, a different scene or a conversation with "long time no see" friends will help rebuild my mood.

...i've experienced this a lot and honestly, i have a hard time in dealing with it in no particular reason...but i suggest you try listening to your favorite music for about few minutes, see if your mood changes..if not, try another approach, something that would interest you more...good luck!

There are many times i feel like this.At such moments i think of the consequences.If the consequences are going to be disastrous i immediately jump back to work and complete the task at hand.Sometimes i compel myself to do the task at hand saying that other work can wait.

I was rushing to finish my homework yesterday, but I just can't do it because I was not in the mood. I was thinking of other stuff that makes me not feeling good and don't have the intention to do anything. Thus I called of my friend. We chat for almost one hour and that really makes me feel better. We shouldn't force ourselves to do something when we are not in the mood, we won't come out something good. Trying look for something different to do, it will make us feel better.

When I was in high school, there were many times in my life that i wasnt in the mood to do anything. When I am not in the mood I usually just stay in my room and didnt talk to anybody not even to my family members. It was a bad thing so I tried to change it.

It also happened to me many many times. And it does affect my work. What I do is to keep in mind that I really have to do this or that. That this is my duty and responsibility that I have to face. And then I just smile and try to look on the future. Asking myself what will happen to me if I stay this way? That helps a lot. Just try to convince your own self. Happy mylotting!

Sure thing..i will definitely try harder to convince myself. Although i can say that it is really hard to convince someone not who's not in the mood. Such a lousy day for me i think..but will try anyway. Thanks..
