What do you do to give yourself that extra push when you have to do an extra shift at work, or go to your next job, or keep studying for that next final? What kind of things help you? Right now I am sooo tired from working all day but I really should be going off to my next job. I don't think that I can though. I am also kind of down with a cold too so that doesn't help either. All I want to do is to go to bed to sleep. How do you keep going when you have to do more???

When I am feeling low or tired at work nothing perks me up more than the though of going home to my loved one, that always cheers me up.

keeping the faith and exploding motivation is difficult. Some days are worst than others . A lot of people have short term goals and sweetners to keep themselves on target or push ahead for fear of embarrasment, failure and punishment. I rather stay in bed and lock out the world

Amen to your last statement. I would rather stay in bed too.

If I am just really low on energy and motivation, I normally will think of my son. I know that at this point he depends on me for his everything. Not just his needs but his wants. He also depends on me for emotional support. This normally gives me a boost of energy, the desire to keep going.

Yes I think of my children too. I also keep chanting the word FREEDOM to myself - freedom from debt. I repeat that word to myself often. Thanks.

Yes I have many bills to pay and I just keep thinking about that when I am at work. If I work for 6 hours I can pay the water bill, etc.
