My question of inquiry still needs some refining, but as of current its something like "at what level of mental well-being does motivation begin to dwindle and can it be restored?" I settled on this question of thinking about what health problems do I encounter often and would like to know more about to solved those problems. Since I have motivational issues, I thought a question in this area would give me the most motivation toward researching and writing about something concerning health.


This topic is important on for understanding how motivation works. Someone who lacks motivation can feel tried, energetically, and extremely bored toward doing something they would otherwise extremely enjoy. The topic deals with at what level should you consider yourself to be actually constraining yourself against the difficult to obtain interests you may have, versus saying "I'll do it later." (If its an assignment, then closer the due date the more likely we would actually start the assignment. But if its something you really want to do in your life, then the due date can be decades from now and if you realize it that late then it may be too late). 


As far as I explained thus far it seems I would be looking for cheap tricks to gain motivation to go finally do the things you want to do. Its more than that though. The people who don't have the motivation to do these things have difficulty even following the tips to gain a better level of motivation, so those cheap tricks barely scratches the surface. The research I've done thus far is mostly primary experience and observations. The way I see it, lack in motivation causes "I wish I could (or would) have..." and then there's negative feelings, sadness, pessimism, depression. It could be that depression causes lack of motivation (which is true) but in some cases it could be the reverse or there's a third hidden factor involved. Things like this and more is what I expect (hope) to find.


Concerning my question of inquiry, there are several preferred approaches to determining the cause and solution the the given problem. The question can be seen as a psychological, behavior, or biological problem depending on the perspective, cause, severity, and symptoms the person has. These viewpoints are all great though, as they all allow insight on from angles of diverse expertise. That said, some sort of conclusion(s) has to be made that out do the others (but do they always out do the others?). So far I believe well-being being effected is mostly a behavior issue in the sense that once you start and get going it usually stays going, but then to keep going is the real issue. Finding that core interest will keep you at it (as far as I know) so I stand on behavior as the main cause (but if the person suffers from depression, is the issue still behavior?).


I have no questions or concerns at the moment. I did leave note-like questions (for my own use mostly) throughout the paragraphs above however, but those questions will hopefully be addressed as I research the topic further.
