I often employ apathy to ignore my stresses and problems, but somehow, when I feel apathy towards one aspect of my life, it suddenly seems to take over and I find myself feeling it about everything.
The thing is, I have a great life. I have a wonderful husband, and a beautiful family. Stress is part of life. Why is it that when I acknowledge that I have stress along with all the good things, I feel like I'm going to implode?
How do you deal with apathy?
I need to get off my rear end and start enjoying more about life!

I have had a hard time motivating myself to do much of anything behind the bare minimum required to keep myself and my child fed and clean. I'm hoping things will improve when she starts school this week, and I can put together a daily schedule of what needs to happen beyond sleeping and eating.
I think it's helpful to have a few friends to make plans with. That way it's harder to back out and stay home rather than go enjoy doing something else.
Apathy for me = need time to myself to regroup and find something new that interests me.
I don't think it really has anything to do with not being grateful for everything we do have but more just breaking away from the monotony that life can sometimes be.
Some days I just can't get myself motivated.
It's very easy for me to just be a hermit and stay home quite often. I like Deena's advice about having friends to help us get out once in awhile.
I think Cherie is right--life can be a little monotonous and I think we have to force ourselves to be a little creative. Maybe do something every day--make a list. Just a thought.

This is me too, lately. Maybe it's the summer doldrums? I need to bring back my start with the corner strategy. I just take one corner and make it spectacular and hopefully that motivates me enough to spread out from there.
I happen to think you're awesome and always have a kind and insightful/motivating word for anyone. So thank you, I really appreciate it. :)
