There are times when you will hit the wall, wanting to do nothing, even the things you love to do. Then idleness starts to take its toll on you, grasping you. As a result, you begin over-indulging, letting #negativity cloud your mind. This is called lack of #motivation, and if this situation sounds familiar, then pay attention to the following points.
Assess your present situation
Why exactly are you feeling that way? Are you #feeling that way because of an #isolated event or due to an #accumulation of #factors? Regardless of the #situation, you should be sure that your situation is a #manifestation of in-congruence between #reality and your own #ideas. Your job is to #identify the schism first, then develop small, attainable #changes which will close the gap.
Never make goals
It probably caught you by surprise because everyone else seems to scream the words ''make goals''. Instead of making #goals, make #choices that will cumulatively #reflect your #values and also #desires. Try making unrealistic goals which are not compatible with your lifestyle, nor reflective to your current resources or capabilities and failure will be raring its ugly head on you. Then it becomes a predictable outcome powered by an impractical wish.
If you want the in-congruence that exists between reality and dreams to slowly fade, make daily choices that will bring about the wide paradigm shift.
Create room for the bad
We all have #strengths and #weakness, and sometimes what we try to avoid ends up getting the best of us. Rather than being deceived on the idea of #eliminating the bad instantly, focus on doing the good first before the bad can come last.
If you're never a 4.00 am person and you #struggle very much to keep time so you can get tasks done, spare your #time once in a while and sleep until you've had enough of it. There are high chances that after doing this, your mind will shift with another #focus, and this can get you moving in the right direction.
The idea of perfection will frustrate you
The reason why you lose #motivation is because you believe in #perfection. However, your job should be to cast your #ego aside and start accepting every #outcome as humbling and initially not pleasant. Use this opportunity to #experiment and also #learn from other people.
Final word
To develop motivation, you'll struggle with #doubt and #assurance as well as #stagnation and #growth. But because you're aware of the situation as temporary, you won't be bent beyond shape.
