How hard should I push myself when I’m not feeling it?

I think it’s always really hard to do anything when you aren’t feeling it. The way I approach getting over a slump is trying to address why I feel that way and trying to find a way to break the cycle of emotions causing it. Even if you take the morning to figure out what’s going on, and complete your morning tasks in the afternoon instead, at least you’ve still done them, which will help you to feel better 🙂 Action always comes before motivation as well

Set yourself a reasonable target. 5 mins. 400m. Whatever. If you do nothing you break the habit and let yourself make an excuse. Doing something is better than nothing and you might find after that first 5 mins you want to do another 5.

It’s more important to do something, anything, than to do a certain number of reps, pace or amount of time, so set out to do any amount no matter how small and then take it one mile or one rep at a time. If you set too high an expectation of yourself you’ll eventually find a reason not to do it when it feels too hard. Once you start you might surprise yourself that you can actually do the goal you had in mind. It might not be that day you’re not feeling it, but by doing even a little that day, you’re more likely to achieve it the next day or the day after.

not very hard you don’t wanna Hurt yourself but I do suggest when you’re not motivated push yourself to be motivated but not too much, you got this.

First of all you can ask yourself… "why am I not feeling it? Which are my fears? What stops me to do that?" Write it down and make a list. When you know the causes you can work on those and try to change with little steps toward the main goal. It’s always better to make small steps to reach your goals. Try to think about yourself after you complete that task. How could you feel? What if you don’t complete it? Do you feel happy not doing it? Ask yourself those questions and take actions moved by the feelings resulting from your thoughts. Good luck!

Just try and complete as many habits as possible in your normal routine, but keep them small. If you’re not feeling exercise, just do a 5 minute stretch or walk. If you’re not feeling cooking a big healthy meal, just snack on some fruit and nuts. Still making the right choices but keeping the actions simple and easy to do! And reward yourself for every little thing you do. Keep your mental self-talk positive, congratulate yourself on what you’re doing, don’t focus on things you haven’t done. But remember how good you’ll feel when you keep the streak going!

It is best to honor yourself and determine what part of you is “not feeling it”. If it’s your body, drinking water, eating a light breakfast, and doing a little walking is a great start. If it’s your mind or spirit, I feel that you can push through a bit more using foundational goals or challenges to help.

I think it depends. If I’m under the weather then to rest is the best answer. If I don’t want to wake at my alarm because I’m just too cozy to get out of bed then I need to push myself a lot to get what I need done.

I think one should listen to his body, it could be that it is already there, you just need to stop and listen. But there may be another case, when you shuld push yourself harder to get the fabulous moment. If it it that case, so don’t stop while you have time and energy. If you don’t feel energy, and feel yourself exhausted, so don’t push yourself too hard. Just a tiny bit more than you think that you can – it’s enough.

It depends on the task and why you dont feel like doing it. It’s best to consider those things. Remember showing up or just starting is as if the task is half done because it’s the hardest thing to do.
