Why have I been so lazy and unmotivated?

9 months ago i was in decent shape, my skin was dark because I was always backpacking and hiking. I did Kung Fu and Tai Chi religiously, i thought it was going to be my life. But most of all i was motivated to actually give a damn about my future. Well since then there has been a lot of crap in my family and my life (mom running off with a ex boyfriend and putting my family through 6 long months of emotional turmoil) and lots of relationship drama that went on for weeks almost right after the divorce drama subsided. Now I really don’t have anything crazy going on in my life and i feel absolutely drained. My life has become that catchy Bruno Mars song about not wanting to do anything. I constantly skip my community college classes, I call in sick to work a lot more frequently (good friends with manager and I think shes worried about me) and i have almost completely stopped the martial arts that was my life. I just want to lay around all day, smoke pot (been smoking habitually for the past 5 years), and play videos games. I also haven’t gone backpacking for a wile a and my hiking 3 times a week has slowed to the point where I’m lucky if i go once every 2 weeks. Whats is wrong with me people? This Isn’t the person who I’ve worked so hard to become and I have no motivation to fix it. I’m staying home from work today because i couldn’t pull my lazy ass out of bed, so please offer your advice or if anybody has a similar story to mine where they turned it around please share. I think I’m pretty much desperate at this point.
It was 7 long months of the worst kind of drama, excuse me if i don’t want to get far into the details. But believe me it takes a lot to bring me down, but all the crap I’ve gone through these past few months would tear down even the strongest of people. I’m not just some teen bitching about his unfair life these past few months have just really sucked the life out of me.

your point of view in this please ?

How should I warm up for my kung fu tournament?

Im not sure what to do to get myself to the point where my form is the strongest.

I always do a short run (usualy 15 minutes) and stretch for about 45 minutes , I dont know if anyone has tried this but it increases the hell out of your agility. Now after I do that is where Im kinda not sure what to do. I think I should do a little strength training to get my muscles reved up and go through my forms a couple times. Im not sparring as I have an injury that I dont want to make worse. But my issue is I dont know if I should strength train or not as I am worried that I’ll end up wairing myself out before the tournament. Also how much time is it ok to let pass between your warm-up and the time you actualy get there? I kinda want some outside perspective as I have alot riding on this tournament.
thanks for the tips. I will give that a shot. However I still think I should go through my forms a couple times to get my muscle memory going.
Im aware of the aspect of training my mind but I dont need help warming my mind up thats easy.
I was going to compete in the form parts of the tournament and not the sparring
To David N:

I have my own ways of warming up I just wanted 2 see what other people thought were good ways to warm up. Dont be an ass

What does Tai Chi (Supreme Ultimate) mean?

Yes it translates to supream ultimate. But I’ve been thinking what does that really mean.I think my ego missed the point for the last 10 years of training????
I was wondering really what Tai Chi’s meaning was to other people. It was not a trick question. I’ve known most of the text book answers at an intellectual level. But it really came home to me only recently that I had been looking at it from a very egotistical view point, I had got too much into the supremeness and lost the emptyness. I just wondered what different peoples own opinions were on this question. For instance is Tai Chi the same as God.By the way this is genuine exploration. And also to everyone I am actually a female, and just joined yahoo questions last night. Thank you for all your answers. I think this site is awesome. x

i need to lose 50 pounds in 6 months. I hate exercise (gyms) and diet food. Is there hope for me?

I’ve tried many different approaches, and I’m at the point where Im sooo confused and frustrated! If anyone has achieved a successful weight loss, in a reasonable time, PLEASE let me know. I love to walk, and would be into trying yoga, and free weights… but I hate going to sweaty gyms.

As far as food – I love sushi, peanut butter, fruit, veggies, pasta, seafood, rice, and chicken.

Oh, yes, some dark chocolate is good too.

I don’t drink (alcohol) and stay away from soda and diet drinks.

I know water is a good thing, but have trouble drinking 100 ounces a day, but will do it if it is neccesary for weight loss.

Thanks for your help!
