It is no judgment on your character I assure you. Motivation can wax and wane. So the fact that you succeeded in the first place does not mean the problem is not motivation.
If you like, think of it like this: you have the ability to do what you need to do (you've done it before), but some part of you is resisting. I would call it "subconscious motivation". You can consciously want to do something, but if your subconscious doesn't, there is going to be resistance to the activity.
Difficulty concentrating on some things, when there is no difficulty concentrating on some others things (i.e. recreational activities) means a lack of desire to do those things (read: motivation). It is very common for that sort of steam to peter out periodically, which is why I suggest the self hypnosis routine.
Anyway, best of luck.
In that case I am curious to how this impacts my periodic difficulty with speech. That is, when there is a word that I wish to say and I am thinking of the word yet cannot say it, is my subconscious mind not desiring to utter the word? I can think of reasons why my subconscious mind would resist work. It is strenuous and requires dedication. I cannot think of any reason why my subconscious mind would resist myself to be able to express myself in conversation. Does the subconscious mind betray me in this way?
