What do you do when you’re completely unmotivated?

I do very little. Generally I spent it messing around on the internet. I think that is the best way to describe what I do.

I think I don’t have to do a big effort... only a little step... when I forget the glass of water for example, I think I have to get a glass, it’s not a titanic purpose...and tomorrow I’ll have another good day...

I think being completely unmotivated is a sign of being depleted in some way. I would be kind to myself and take care of my body: have a good sleep, read a book, eat well. Perhaps also try meditating.

I found something in my routine which is motivational by itself. For example, I like to watch sun raising during my morning jogging. No matter how dimotivated you are by external reasons, sun will raise, and it will be beautiful.

Well. Maybe ask myself why I feel that way? Sometimes it does feel a bit like it’s all too much; how can I do all these thing gs? So maybe just pick one to start with, and hoping the motivation will follow. I have just come overseas and my schedule is all over the place, finding it a bit hard to stay grounded and do things, especially since I am so far away from home and my usual things. I don’t really have a holiday routine! But, I am trying!

I let go. I am not sure it was the best thing to do, because it’s a form of retreating from the task at hand. It’s really a challenge to push on when I’m completely unmotivated.

Do what you’re capable of doing and reward yourself for that; don’t beat yourself up about what you can’t do that day because it will only make you feel worse. Set small goals and do your best to accomplish those

In then end you should have a long term goal, other than the small goals you’re trying to achieve everyday. That long term goal is something that should become the anchor, if you ever stray from the path, try to think of that. You will have to create a reminder of this long term goal in a place that you visit regularly. For example sticking a quote on a wall, or a picture as mental trigger you see each day, which in time will grow to be a mental picture that you can use. And when you don’t feel motivated think about that mental picture in the of your head.

If I’m feeling unmotivated, I try to check in with myself by asking: am I tired, hungry, thirsty? I’ll realize, too, that sometimes I just need a break. Otherwise, I’ll try to do little things like make my bed, put on my tennis shoes, do two pushups. I’ll try to be easy on myself, too, maybe try to be grateful. Sometimes doing little things gives you a break but helps you stay positive.

when I am not motivated enough, I am lazy & waste my time on my smartphone doing unproductive things. Thankfully, these kind of phases are usually very small & soon I come to my senses😃
