I hate feeling bored.

I want to wake up feeling more EXCITED about my life.

Any suggestions?

Step away from the computer!

Get outside

As granted said, that does seem like a good first step. Next, make a list of the things you'd like to do, both in short-term (fun) and long-term (life goals)... you'll never feel bored or without motivation, when working towards things you want with a purpose. Then, go at them like you mean it!

That, or call a friend. Even doing nothing at all is less boring, when you're with friends.

Sign up for a course, especially if it's something outside your comfort zone. Life won't be boring for long!

Any suggestions?

Ask for some excitement?

Find something that interests you with a passion. Spice up your life by trying new things you haven't tried before. There is so much to experience in this life that it is wasted by being bored and doing nothing.

Agreed. Vitamin D will do it.

You want to wake up excited? Consider that you could die any day now.

I've been there and many been there too and struggled out.
So you will definitely get out of it too, just struggle through with the strong emotion of you are really sick of it and really, really mean to walk out.
After enhanced with the desire, find yourself something interesting to do.
Anything will do if nothing really drives you, it's always better than doing nothing.
And do it daily.
Like start reading motivating posts.
You might read 10 min a day and get back to your helpless feeling mode again, but it's all right.
Just keep doing it daily and you will find out the next day you are reading for 15 min, the next week 1hr, the next, next week for hours.
And next month, you will amazingly find out you are actually changing your life in little doses, exactly like you do in reading.
And you will gradually picking up more and more meaningful things into your life.
Eventually you will find your motivations for life, you will fill your life with lots of exciting reasons to get up in the morning.

So for now, Zack, you just focus in making the first little steps you are able to make now.
Just get started, be active and struggle through with desperate hopes of breaking out the status quo, and you will break out, easier than you think

FYI 50 Cent made a beautiful struggle with furious spirits. He once said, get rich or die trying

Jump out of an airplane.

Quit your job without another one to go to and a load of bills waiting to be paid - that'll soon spice life up for you!

It does spice it up but not in an exciting fun way. It sure has made things MORE boring for me. I have all this wonderful time but so much of things I'd want to do would require at least some sort of income.

Boredom is a choice.

You can walk the park. Go to the local coffee shop. Read an interesting book or website. Make your own website. Run. Train with weights. Learn something new....

But you chose boredom, and you draw people to write you about that.
