Staying Motivated
From day one in the Marine Corps, I was taught about motivation and how to stay motivated, so you can say it is bred into me. But lately, I have been having a more difficult time, pulling myself out of the funk that I’m in and staying motivated. It just seems that one thing after the other keeps piling up.
On the surface, they are all a bunch of small things, but they are applying some rather heavy weight to me as of late and I can’t seem to shake it. There are of course always family issues, then I’m having some other medical issues, then work seems to be very active recently, which is a good thing as I strive on fast tempo, but as of late, I can’t seem to manage it as well as I have in the past. I’m fighting a nasty upper respiratory issue, I have several friends that I consider myself close to that are either not communicating with me or one is having a bunch of emotional problems stemming from family issues.Â
So needless to say things are piling up and I’m having a hard time dealing. But I will get through it all.Â
What things do you do to stay motivated?
Just get up off the couch and deal with it
Dustin, that is easier said than done for some people, not everyone can get motivated, find the energy, deal with the pain or depression.
Staying motivated had been a problem for me in the past, but over the years I guess I have either figured it out or I have gotten accustomed to my medications.
I’m glad that you have this part all worked out, I’m slowly getting there myself.
Get motivated and stay motivated, I know it is difficult, but you can do it.

I’m working my way through it.
Staying motivated has been a major problem for me as well. I really haven’t found much that works for me all the time.

Motivation can be real or false, but it is a very personal thing. Something that motivates me, may not motivate you and so on. I wish you the best of luck in this department.
I probably don’t say this enough to those that served, thank you for your service.
Thank you for your support!
do you think that the military is an option for someone like me who has fibro?
Allie, this is a tough one, I think that you should probably start off with talking to your doctor and your parents. After the issues you had in 2019, you can’t afford to exclude your parents. I don’t know if Fibro is something that you can’t join for. From what research I can locate online, it actually looks fairly promising for you to be able to enlist if you wanted to.

Good Luck! What branch are you thinking of joining?
I often find it difficult keeping motivated in life myself. I appreciate you bringing this to light.
Staying motivated is important to me. But finding the energy can make it more difficult.
Motivation can be difficult to gain.
