What gets you psyched?

I'm kind of in the crapper as far my life is goin right now, but I'm lookin to get myself out of it by starting a new business venture and whatnot. Problem is, with all the crap that surrounds me, I can't get myself revved up. My ex used to be really good at getting me amped as she was very supportive. Now, I just can't get all excited about things...regardless of how hard I try, I seem to always slip into that "bleh" feeling.

What are some things you guys do to get the blood boiling and juices flowing...so to speak.

Well my 'juices' are always boiling on their own, without help. I think if you don't feel excited about the project don't do it. There's a reason you aren't excited. Maybe subconsciously you know it isn't the best thing to do, and this leads to the lack of motivation. Of course, I'm not trying to discourage you, but noone can help you instead of yourself, as they say.
 
Music, friends, movies, and books. Also, try going out and doing stuff that you think is fun. It sounds like you may be depressed. If you can not fight it on your own...please talk to your doctor.
 
I really like to spend time in the wilderness. Go out to a place of solitude, and sit for 8 hours. No really try it. Its totaly mind blowing. You wont beleive how much wildlife you will see, of how close they will get if you stay still and quite.

I also like to go mountain biking/surfing. Thinking about those will usually get me through the week.

Well, the thing is, whenever I think about doing something..I start to get a little giddy...which is quickly squashed. Maybe I'll give the ex a ring on the phone.
 
i hear ya, bruddaman.

what gets me psyched? seinfeld, good food, going for a drive with the sunroof open...and vacations. 🙂
 
Uppers like caffeine or ephedra help.

Also previews for sweet movies, like the Matrix.

Also the scene in X-2 where the mutant school is being attacked I was jumping out of my seat.
