Sometimes I find that just getting up and leaving the house is what I need.
I can be feeling really shitty and down and just by getting up and out and changing my environment I can change my mood. It sounds kind of obvious but sometimes the obvious ones are the best ones.
Really is boiling down the 'if it isn't working then make a change' to it's most simple meaning.

Find something that you like to do where you are working with your hands. When you can get your mind creatively focused and physically engaged it is a great antidote to boredom. It can be anything from gardening to building to art or even baking or cooking. The key is that it has to engage you so if motivation is the issue, try joining a class or workshop to get you started within a structured framework.
