I am 30 year old woman looking for motivation too!
For me a good place to start is assessing what goals are important to you. It can be helpful to make lists of all the possible things you want do. Just sit down and write things out - without editing yourself - let yourself be in the moment and open to all the possibility! What do you like to do? What are you good at doing? What has been meaningful for you in the past? What have you always wanted to do but never had the time, support from friends and family, or energy to begin? Etc...
Then take sometime away from the list, say a day, come back the next morning and reread what you have written with a more realistic perspective. Cross off the ideas that appear impossible to you and begin to narrow things down to a goal you could really see yourself accomplishing...
This is the just the beginning - but identifying a reasonable goal seems like the first step to me.

I am 50. I find that traveling to other countries gives be a boost. Many times we stay in our comfort zone, go to the same grocery story, buy the same stuff, watch the same shows every night. Going to a different country, experiencing a different culture, different food, customs, meeting new people. That is amazing.
