Millennials often get a bad rap for being lazy, entitled, and unmotivated. While it's true that some fit this stereotype, many of our peers are consistently pushing themselves to go above and beyond. Even the most motivated of us can have moments of sloth, however.
If you're feeling uninspired after college, or have been stuck in a rut for far too long, you can do something about it. Here are five steps to help you get back on track:
1. Stay on top of your health check-ups.
If you're new to the world of adulting, it's important to get your general check-ups, STD tests, Pap smears, and dental cleanings. Don't forget to schedule a visit with a counselor too. Even if everything is going swimmingly, it's a good idea to have an outlet to talk about your career, your stresses, and your goals.
2. Make fitness part of your routine.
Exercise has been proven to boost your energy and your mood. Make time in your schedule to go to the gym, take a class, or just dance around your living room.
3. Stimulate your mind with games, reading, and interactive activities.
Switch off the TV and pick up a book or video game that will challenge you mentally and intellectually. It's a great way to refocus your energy and re-engage your creativity.
4. Learn a new hobby or skill.
Learning something new can be a great distraction from everyday stress. Sign up for a language class, coding course, or pick up that instrument you used to play. You never know, it might even help your career.
5. Evaluate what makes you happy.
Take some time to put together a vision board or blog about your goals and aspirations. This can help you figure out what you want from life, whether it's a job change, relocation, or a simple kick in the pants.
At the end of the day, no one can make boss moves if they're not motivated to do so. Don't let a case of the lazies keep you from greatness.
