Motivation can be hard to come by. When you’re feeling lazy or lethargic, it’s almost impossible to get things done. The truth is, all we have is the present moment. All we have is the hour ahead of us. This is why it’s important to nix those motivation killers before they get the best of us. Below are a couple of things that might be ruining your productive streak. Check them out below and be sure to leave a message in the comments section. What kills your motivation?
No Rewards- When you’ve got nothing to look forward to, it makes you static. If you’re working toward nothing, it’s easy to feel unhappy and, of course, unmotivated. To help, give yourself something to look forward to. It could be something small, like a delicious brownie at the end of your work shift, or, it could be something like a vacation at the end of a rough work period. Get those rewards! You deserve them!
Feeling Overwhelmed- This one definitely gets to me. When you work on a new project, it’s easy to feel too overwhelmed at the sight of a big obstacle. Sometimes, you don’t even know where to start and it feels all too easy to give up.
Trust me, I’ve been there. Here’s what you can do, create a safe haven for yourself. It could be a space in your home where you’re able to breathe, or it could be writing in your journal. Try to sort out your feelings and then deal with one thing at a time. You’ve got this!
Same Old Same Old- Sometimes, we get sick of the monotony. We’re creatures of nature so when change doesn’t come our way, we get bored and unmotivated. It becomes easy to feel stuck.
In order to get out of that same old slump, change something! Change your workout or wear a new lipstick to work. Some small changes can make a big impact on your day. Always remember that nothing will work unless you do!
