Can't get motivated.

i get mojo loss every now and then.....for all sorts of reasons

ive learnt my own way of dealing with it,.....i dont fight it!......walk away, do something else!

ive found if i try to force myself through it i just get more disillusioned and even more likely to not build

after a while i get the urge again to build but after a slump i always try to do something simple so i dont get annoyed again when i hit a snag

Mojo start and stop is the story of my model experience. I suffer with mental health and therefore i really do have to have the mojo to actually get some bench time done. At the moment i am in a dip but i also have a massive amount of pressure on from work, so when i get in after a days graft, i am just knackered.

It's stating to get better now so i am hoping to re-start my Bocage dio and finish off my He111.

But John all i can say is take each day at a time. We all have slack periods. You'll find your mojo again!

Bit of pure genius to get the mood going John….McKinley Morganfield in his pomp…..

Thanks for posting that Tim! Muddy Waters played in Cardiff when I was living there - tickets were sold out in a day, I had no chance of getting one. Put 'wanted' adverts out, still no tickets. The day after the show I went o see my local distributor - I was a sales engineer then - asked him how he was, and he told me he'd had a great night at the Muddy Waters gig, only spoiled by his wife feeling unwell so she stayed home, so he had the only empty seat in the hall next to him. He couldn't give her ticket away, didn't know anyone who wanted it!

John,
Don't force it my friend the mojo will return, just do what you enjoy spend time in your beautiful garden. we will be here when your ready.

[Neil Merryweather]

I'm struggling myself ,John.
I haven't really done anything much since I started this film work. I love it but it's long days and I'm just knackered in the evenings; and weekends there are so many duties that even if I get them cleared I just don't feel like doing anything. I'm spending my downtime planning new projects - all the while knowing I've got loads half finished.....
At least you ENJOY the gardening-I just mow the lawn and trim the infinite hedges and thank God it's done till the next time!
It's irritating but I know it will pass.
As the others say, just get out in that garden and enjoy!

Hi John, if you're not self centered and pompous "It...er...I Shall Return"...it took him nearly 3 years for the return so I think mojos are faster. I'm sure it will come back sooner than you think. Meanwhile gardening is another fine hobby...basically 1:1 scale diorama.

Cheers,
Richard

I hear you John , having much the same problem myself , havent touched anything for weeks . For me its a combination of not having enough time when i get home from work and being stuck in the middle of putting hundreds of tiny stencils on the SU 22 . I cant make any progress on the soviet tank GB and the helicopter GB subject hasnt even been started , might have to even pull out of that one . All I can say is enjoy your garden and the fine weather , the modelling bug will come back sooner or later . Cheers tony

Getting out in the garden in this fine weather, doing somethig different for a while may re-invigorate your modeling mojo. All the vitamine 'd will do you good.

Getting out in the garden

I think it is likely to show you that there are far more fun things to be doing than tending a garden, like building models

[Jim R]

Well John, the many posts show one thing - You ain't alone :smiling:

I’m the other way around at the moment John, I just can’t get into the modelling room, due to family commitments.
But like the others have said, the kits will still be there, when the mojo returns.

[Wookie2486]

John I know the feeling mate i try to spend as much time with my family
before I deploy and when I come back. By the time I do get a chance to go in my model room I just struggle, the amount of times that I have just gone in and sat down and then walk out five minutes later that's why my dragon wagon has taken me so long to build.
