Recently, I work with my computer everyday and I have to face it every single day but not much progress in th things I am doing.I feel so bore to do the same old thing again and again without any success.On the other hand ,there are so amny things happening in my life that make me not feel like to go out or see anyone,except for grocery or do some exercise in the gym.I don't want my life to be like that but looks like I still have to live with it for quite awhile.What would you do if you were me ?For any online Christian ,I would ask that " What would Jesus do?" Share with me.

When I don't have any mood to do anything then I prefer to sleep.

I hate that feeling. It's such an annoying feeling. Nothing pleases you. I usually just go to sleep because I can't find anything else I would like to do. Everything just seems either tedious, frustrating or just plan boring. Sleep seems to be the best cure for it, in my opinion. Either that, or eating.

Yes,I sometimes go to sleep when I am not in a good mood as well.I always say that "one sleep can heal a million sadness " because once you sleep ,you can at least escape from the bad mood for awhile.Sometimes,we can have dreams during our sleeping time.Some dreams can be so sweet that leads us to the outer space to enjoy the light speed and seeing the moon hanging on the sky with a smiling face towards us and It will certainly reduce the unhappiness in our real life.But I found that sleeping too much is not real a good thing because you will experience headache if you over sleep.But certianly it will help to make us feel better when we are not in a good mood.Besides sleep,walking on the beach or seeing a nice view from the mountain top is not a bad idea.At least it will remove your focus from your problems to something beautiful and comfortable for awhile.

I would say this is normal and everybody would have gone through the same situation at least once in his or her life. Look at me. I have moved to a different country where my husband is working a month ago. I thought I could find a better job here. I have been searching for a job for a month, but nothing worked out yet. I am still confident that I will get hooked up with a good opportunity. At least you have a job and you don't have to depend on somebody for your daily expenses. A good way to feel better is to look at people who are having difficult problems that yours. You can find something intersting like reading good books, go for swimming, go out with friends, etc. You have a job right now, so you can be in the same job and start looking for a better job in a different city if you want a change. There are lots of options for you. Thik about people who are stuck and who don't have any options. As you asked, I am also asking Jesus. What do I do in this sitaution? I didn't get the answer yet. But, my mind says, "Dear, please look back". I have been worried about many things in life and was nervous and restless. But, after some waiting Jesus has helped me and gave me more than what I asked him. He made the situations better than I asked for and blessed my life. So, he knows which is good for me. He is waiting for the right opportunity to give me. I need to be patient and wait for that keeping my hard work.

I think everyone will face that type of situation in their life sometime. For me I will just lying on the bed with headphone on my ears and listing music, otherwise I will just stay quietly without talking to any body.

I so know how you are feeling. I've been going through a rough time feeling unmotivated too. Over the last two days I have become totally overwhelmed and upset. Everything I do I do for my family - cooking meals, packing lunches, washing dishes, doing laundry, taking out garbage, recycle and compost, driving them here there and everywhere, giving up my vehicle for my teenage daughter to use. I have a chronic illness and am unable to work and receive no income. My husband claims we have no money and rarely gives me any. I am trying to write a novel but with all this stress, which is causing me lack of sleep and pain, I can't wrap my head around it. I too am a Christian and am involved in the church. Another member suggested preaching God's Word, helping others, etc. I read at church (preaching God's Word) and do nothing but help the members of this family. I do nothing for myself. I have had it in my thoughts for a couple of weeks now to go and talk to my Priest but all I can think about is what Joyce Meyer says - talking about it with other people won't help. Talk about it with God. Ask God for help. That's what I've been doing. But I just want to cry. I know I'm not helping you any but what the other poster said is probably the best answer, do something for others in need. That will make you feel good. I KNOW it will. In my case, I don't have the time or resources to do anything else because I am too busy cowtowing to this family. Good luck and God bless.

There are twenty four hours per day, other than spending eight hours or so have proper sleep and nap we still have about sixteen hours left. For a working person or pupils he might be spend another eight hours to deal with his work or activity related. Therefore we should allocate the rest of the few hours left nicely and joyously. I try to seek fun while jogging in the evening along the peaceful neighborhood path. Looking the flower and fruit plants in the house compounds passing by. Very often I could see adorable cats doing their cleaning elegantly whereas the playful little puppies run after each other at the car porch. There are yet lots of other fun and joy around if we really have the willing to participate in. Happy posting and have a nice day

We all tend to go through moods when what we do doesn't seem to mean very much. Although since I started meditation around 30 years ago, that feeling rarely visits me these days. I may feel lazy, but I will always do what I intended to do. As a Zen practitioner, life is something to be lived through accepting any feelings that come and go, nothing is permanent, and every feeling will disappear and be replaced by something else. The secret is to just let it happen, whilst staying focused and aware of it. I am not practising Christian, but I would say that Jesus got emotions quite often. He got frustrated with his disciples when they wouldn't learn what he was teaching at times, and he lost his temper when the temple was being used like a marketplace. It's OK to be not OK sometimes. Just let it flow! _Derek

have you tried just going to church a lot? if thats what you are asking as christian. maybe spend time with christian friends you meet there. doing things for charity etc. maybe helping others. i mean thats what i would do if i was able to get out and do things like yourself. im not able to get out and meet people and have no friends and im right now in the house with people that ignore me and dont care for my company. thats why im depressed. so you are lucky.

When I feel that way, i normally just relax with family or friends or even by myself which sometimes refreshing. I also will read one of favorite books or listen to some of my favorite slow jams. I know this sounds crazy, but sometimes I will write what goals I want to accomplish and what values matter to me the most. For some reason, this gives me motivation and a sense wanting to complete those goals. Sometimes it is good to focus on yourself. We do not do that often and when those times of boredom hits, that is the moment I take time for myself the most although you should do this at least once a week anyway.

I think that there are times that we all get tired of doing the same thing that we are usually doing. This is actually the reason that I've decided that I'm trying to keep myself somewhat unplugged during the weekend. I try to do just a little bit of online work during the weekend, but not as much as I tend to do Monday through Friday so that I have time where I am able to enjoy my family. It tends to work out best for me to do it like that and I definitely feel better since I've been doing that.

Time takes away the intensity of any situation however difficult it may seem at the beginning even before you know it. I would just let the situation be for it to mellow down and mellow down it will rather than deal with it. And when this happens I will go about my chores and put a dash of excitement in it and believe me it works.

If I were you , I will go out to play with my good friends . That can let me forget the bad things . And I do not feel bored any more . That is my view.

I think everyone gets to that type of situattion in life sometimes. I've been feeling it lately, too. I just try to find people to hang out with and do whatever they're doing with them, but sometimes it turn into "What do you want to do?" "I do't know what do you want to do?" lol.

Shortly, I will arrange a good sleep and make myself full of energy. But if I am boring for a long time, I will consider what has happened recently and how I suffer becuase of this affair. After that, having a rest for several days or taking a travel is effective and the journey might help you get rid of it.

Like stated before maybe you can try to find something relaxing to do. I am going through tough times as well and the only thing to keep me sane is my guitar. Maybe find a hidden talent and work on that. I hope happiness comes to you my friend. :)
