Throughout our cycles in life, we could loose lots of stuff and conventionally, people feel so miserable and almost giving up WHEN WHAT they lost are either monies OR properties. BUT WHAT IF you lost your own MOTIVATION. WHAT happens next? WHETHER we're talking about cleaning up your home OR simply loosing weight, once we lack that MOTIVATION, it can be the biggest obstacle to reaching our pre-set goalsπππ
WHEN we DON'T have that MOTIVATION to complete our task [OR even start a new one], we need to grind to a halt and ask ourselves WHAT's bugging us and WHY are we struggling at that point in time. THEN? Figure out HOW can you recoup that lost MOTIVATION BUT as a word of caution, studies show that less than 70% of those attempts strategizing to regain that lost MOTIVATION fail. One sort of funny advice I stumbled across is this fix [WHICH I did try a few times and it worked] WHEREIN WHEN I felt I lost my MOTIVATION, I tried to trick myself into feeling MOTIVATED by changing my behavior [AS IF things were running 'as per normal']. LIKE act AS IF you are that MOTIVATED and your actions may change your emotionsπππ
LIKE, rather than sit on your couch in your pajamas the whole day [simply because you feel lazy that day and you're waiting for MOTIVATION to strike back, really?] HOW about get dressed and get moving? UNLESS you're sick or unwell, tell yourself it is unreasonable for you to remain in your pajamas the rest of the day. Try and and very likely you'll realize that more often, taking action will increase OR reclaim your MOTIVATIONπ₯π₯π₯
Let's consider the following self-reflecting questions for us:
- WHAT would I be doing right now If I felt MOTIVATED?
- WHAT is so impossible for me to reclaim my momentum?
- WHAT do I gain if I let my MOTIVATION continue sliding
- WHAT do I gain if I let my trajectory continue going south?
WHAT is very true is that WHEN we're struggling in our own MOTIVATION, we'll come up with a mile-long list of reasons WHY we should NOT take action. You might think "IT WILL BE TOO HARD" OR "I'LL NEVER GET IT DOWN ANYWAY". Alas, those kinds of thoughts will keep you stuck. UNTIL you try the opposite tack. LIKE WHEN you're going to fail, argue with all the reasons WHY you must succeed✌✌✌
Our takeaway: IF no one else is counselling you the correct way, play devil's advocatre and confront yourself by arguing with all the reasons WHY you might succeed. OR WHEN you think you CAN'T finish a job, list all the evidences that show that you'll be able to complete your task. As they say, "DON'T 'BABY' YOURSELF TOO MUCH". WHY? You're NO BABY anymore because you're a grown up mature fella by now dudeπππ
