Career tips : How do I motivate myself

After 25+ years of marriage, my parents are divorcing. It's a strange, difficult situation. I'm trying to be there for my younger brother. At work I feel unmotivated, uninterested, can't focus, projects and people are just annoying me....I used to love my job. Now, I'm there but that's not it. I need to motivate myself. How do I do it? Any suggestions, please. :(

"I am looking at you."

Your family problems are adversely affecting your ability to feel motivated and productive at work. Get some professional help with this now before you jeopardize your job.

Best wishes!

This can be a tough time. Even as an adult your parents divorce affects you. Hopefully they are not trying to pull you into their issues. If you have a close friend or some other trusted advisor use them as a sounding board, otherwise find a professional to talk to. Be their for your younger sibling as much as possible. Ask your parents to leave you out of their drama.

I am sorry you are going through this.

Please try not to despair. Divorce can sometimes be similiar to death, but just remember that no matter how awful the divorce is, you still have your parents. Try to focus more on your younger brother. If possible, plan a weekend of fun - get away from everybody. Try camping one weekend or, if you can, take off from work a few days. Just go do something you and brother would enjoy together.

Hope this helps.
