Not that I need self-help on this topic (otherwise I wouldn't be needing to ask, I'd just help myself), but I'm having a motivation problem lately at work.

I love my job; I do social media development and media relations downtown, and I get paid pretty good to do it. I don't have to overstretch myself, and I always get my evenings free. However, lately I'm having some real issues getting motivated to 'keep up' with all that I do at work, and I just don't really feel like taking any new initiatives. And frankly, I think it's also taking a toll on my after-work life, just not being motivated to do anything besides play soccer, golf, and go out once in a while.

I keep getting this itching feeling that I need to go travel once more, or I need to at least take a vacation (I haven't had one since Feb '07). Even then, when I get back, I know I might still be unmotivated to do my job to the best of my abilities.

Does anyone have any suggestions to re-energize myself? Any books or pieces of literature I can read? Or maybe get into some sort of new hobby or something like meditation?

Thanks in advance, gents and gentiles!
