Every fall, after I get home from school, I fall into a slump, where I don't do much except for go to work. I do some stuff around the house, but I don't really get out and do much. I read some, I watch movies (or old TV series) but... life doesn't have much from day to day. I think that since I got married, I had expected that to change. Sad part is, it didn't.
At work recently, we did a survey about the quality of life for people in a certain area. One of the questions was a list of reasons that people didn't live a healthy lifestyle. One of the reasons was "lack of motivation". Out of the whole list, of maybe 10-15 reasons people didn't live a healthy lifestyle, that was one that was picked most often. I think that most everyone picked it, actually. Eventually, I started to ask myself some of the same questions that I was asking them, about the quality of my life. And I came to the same conclusion. Lack of motivation.
During the school year, I have great motivation. I'm out doing things, walking around, exploring, exercising both body (generally speaking) and mind. I enjoy life.
It isn't that I don't enjoy life when I'm not in school. And this fall, especially being married, hasn't changed that much. I enjoyed life more this Fall than I did most Falls. but I realized I fall into the same habits, and I'm not nearly as happy as I am the rest of the year (though cold and snow and no sun doesn't help the matter).
I am so excited for it to be a new year, for the chance to go back to school once again, to get out of the house on a regular basis, and have a reason, and therefore a motivation to go. If I don't have motivation (besides being stir-crazy) I don't. I can't wait for it to change. Its an exciting and exhilarating feeling.
