How Can I Get My Interests Back

How do you get back your interest?

I know this might sound bizarre, but if you’re willing to experiment, give this is a shot:Say to yourself, “I’m not interested in anything anymore.”Say it over and over and over again. Say it out loud. Say it different voices. Say it in front of a mirror. Make different faces as you say it.Strange suggestion, isn’t it?Often times when you’ve lost your interests, there’s a part in your mind/psyche that’s hijacking you. This part may not have any interests, but other parts of you do. You just need to access a different part. By saying “I’m not interested in anything anymore” you’re allowing this part to express itself. Often times, with enough repetition, it will simply let go.If that doesn’t work …1) Acknowledge your fear. Our lack of interest is invariably a consequence of unrecognized fear. Fear has a way of suppressing our natural curiosity.2) Change your fixed mindset. If you’re not pursing your own growth path— developing your skills and intelligences—it’s generally because you have a fixed mindset.3) Know your strengths. Take psychologist Martin Seligman’s Strength Test to determine your signature strengths. It will help you focus on things that will bring you more fulfillment.4) Start taking small actions. If you’ve been in a depression for a while, you’re in inertia. There are probably things you’ve always wanted to do but may have suppressed due to subconscious fear. The only way to eliminate neurotic fear is by doing that which you fear. Take small actions that help you build momentum.But be sure to address your mindset first because if you don’t, it’s challenging to make any meaningful progress.

How do I get back my interest and enthusiasm?

I may be unable to answer your question in one go, so let me share with you my experience of engineering which is similar to that of yours.I had the same enthusiasm and hope of becoming an excellent software developer when I entered into my graduation, but as the engineering went through, I started to realize the world is not exactly the same as it looks from the outside. But then I took it as a positive thing and started experimenting and exploring my options while I was in engineering. I came across a lot of things which I was not aware of before, I tried doing them, in some I failed, in some I succeeded. But I keep on going to find what may suit me. I came to the conclusion that I may like coding and developing software but I only like the feel of it and I don't really like the working part of it, I am more interested towards the theoretical aspect of computer science. So I started focusing on that and I am now progressing towards R&D of computer science.So the point I am trying to make is that you need an introspection and no one else is going to do it for you, you need to do it yourself. You may not actually like the field, may be that is the reason you are loosing interest. I hope this will help you and if you have anything more specific to ask me, feel free to ask any time. All the best.

Reasons why we loose interest in studies :1. We are too busy in appreciating other's work that we forget to even look at ours. 2. We satisfy ourselves with some excuses of not being able to do something just because we are not born talented.3. We are so worried about petty things that doesn't even matter to others.4. Even if we want to do something, the motivation does not last longer. It soon ends as we taste the so called Real Life.5.

List down the reasons as why you want to do well in studies, like ; You want to prove yourself to some friends or for that matter to your own family, or you want to join the prestigious college of your choice.

How can I get back my interest in computer science?

I would suggest you to attend college from now on. Its not that going to college helps you in bringing back your interest on the subject,but it gives you an environment to interact with many things like your friends,professors. Sitting at home just makes you think more about the lost interest on the subject,but does not help you to take any kind of intiative in developing interest towards the subject.Interact with your friends,take their suggestions like how to deal with the subject,seek advice from your professors ask them to suggest good books on CS. Wake up in the morning with a positive attitude that you are definitely going to do something that helps you to develop interest.Go to library choose a book related to CS,read it enjoying the silence of the library. Start some programming,keep a habit of solving some code,puzzles daily.I would suggest you to read The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari(its a self -help book) written by Robin Sharma. hope this link helps https://www.coursera.org/#course... .

I have lost interest in everything I do, how can I get things back to normal?

How have you been feeling recently? Is there something bothering you? Are you dealing with some negative issues that could be affecting your mood to do what you used to enjoy? What happened recently that caused you to lose your motivation? It's important for you to be aware of what you are going through now so that you can pinpoint what exactly is gnawing at you. Only by listening and observing yourself will you be able to identify what you're struggling on the insides. If you find yourself feeing agitated or irritated for no reason, find out why. Or perhaps you find yourself feeling tired all the time, that you can't muster up the energy to do anything else. Do you feel bogged down quite a bit? How can you manage these issues or emotions?  Stress is a common factor in our lives today. Though unavoidable, we can mitigate or reduce the impact it has on our lives. Being able to identify what's causing you unhappy or making your lose motivation is the first task. Secondly, you need to look at what has contributed to it and perhaps eliminate/ reduce or manage it. Then, find out alternatives or better way of handling your struggles or issues at hand. The thing is, we don't avoid or run away from them. Neither do we sweep them under the rug or forget about them. So long as you're willing to work on it, you'll find your way out of this rut.
