Trouble motivating myself - need advice?

It is a very difficult position and it is very brave of you to admit that even being a mentor yourself you need advice...it is simply an example that teachers, counselors, any kind of workers are humans as anyone else and that we also need motivation to get through tough times. I see you have a tough schedule, but what motivates me when I am drowned with work is to think that this is temporary, that whatever I have to do for next week or next month, will be a temporary state of stress and anxiety, but that through hard work, I will get there, and the day will come when I can rest, when I finish all the work and I can simply rest my mind, my body and soul. Just imagine yourself out of the stress and out of the hard work and make that your motivation. You will get through this and it will be your own personal challenge to get to that day when you can finally say: I DID IT, and I am proud of having done it all by myself...Good luck! Believe in your potential, remember that the laziness can also be a temporary state, get out of the couch and make it happen! You will have plenty of time later on to get lazy, chill and have a blast! Go ahead! Go for it! Success is knocking on your door!!
