What do you do when you don’t “feel” like it?

Think about the goal that you’re ultimately going after and why you’re going after it. Having that drive and remembering your “why” will help in those moments of not “feeling like it”

Do a small version of what ever it is. Say it’s starting homework, just start a doc and put your name at the top. If it is exercise, do a little stretch. If it is meditation, take three big breaths and feel your body. Write down why you’re doing it, big picture, like “to feel free in my body” but your words. A good Why is a great motivator. You can celebrate the little stuff and over time you’ll be better off than if you do absolutely nothing.

I can be hard. And the main thing is to listen to your body. If you sit and think I dont want to do that food prep or exercise. Or tidy up etc. Listen to your body....are you really achy or drained Or are you just fed up and tired. If you are just fed up and tired think how you would feel when you accomplish it. Imagine how good you will feel, how great and complete it will make you...ticking that box If you are worn out , worn down, achy, drained. Listen to your body. Will doing that activity make you feel better? Will completing it make you feel better or worse. Its weighing it up and only you can answer it properly.

This is why I own Fabulous; I don’t need to think about details like that. I wrote down a list of what I need to do, and I go through my list. The checkbox is waiting.

Too often I don’t do it. For example really hard not to drink coke. Or I might procrastinate. Do something else. Surf web. how do I overcome the urge when I don’t feel like it? Sometimes try and reflect on the commitment I made to myself or others

Honestly, just don’t feel on it. Assume in your mind that is not a choice. Don’t mentally give yourself the option of not doing it. Groan and acknowledge " wow, not into this today' but then yourself up and do it anyway. Tell yourself you can’t leave it undone. Think about consequences of not doing it. Focus on that rather than the discomfort you might feel if you do it. Choose discomfort over despair and resentment and guilt

Promise yourself a bit of chocolate afterwards. You’ll get that feel good reward to reinforce the habit a bit,and convince yourself to actually do it. Just make sure to eat the chocolate AFTER, not before. No matter how tempting

If we are talking emotionally in general I get back to basic: take care of yourself and your direct environment. Like cold shower and tidying up. If we are talking about task than determining a minimum so I can feel like I am not breaking a chain and just doing that. Take care of yourself and your mental well being.

I just push myself to do it because I know the feeling when you really feel like you’v pushed passed your boundaries challenge yourself and achieving something. And I know that if I don’t do it I will never feel that good, it is being reluctant now to feel amazing later and if you don’t do it you know you will regret it💪

I try to remind myself how disappointed I will feel if I don’t follow through. And how fullfilling it feels, and also the pride in completing a task or comitment.
