No motivation

sja

I have so much to do to get ready for the holidays, and no desire to do it. Tree's not up, no decorations up accept for the wreathes I made on the doors. I normally love the holidays and decorating, but I just can't get into it this year. Anyone have any advice on how to motivate myself?

yes. Come to the bah humbug sled and we'll have a sacrificial burning of everthing lol

Maybe you could make decorating the house a family thing. hell I'm 21 and my mum's holding fire till I get home so we can put the tree up lol

All I can say is just try to take it in steps. Maybe write a list of things that you normally do around this time of year and try to tackle them one by one. I have huge motivational problems but doing things in small steps has helped me.
