I totally understand how you feel. I don\u2019t know how to push past those feelings and \u201cforce myself\u201d to be productive. What I have tried doing instead is just sitting down to meditate. Not for a set time, with no objective in mind, just to sit with eyes closed and observe whatever is happening. There\u2019s no expectation either, so when I\u2019m finished, I could have the same feelings or I could feel more inspired. Either way, I feel more calm and relaxed, which is much better than the anxiety&#x2F;frustration of not having the motivation that I wish I had in that moment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elma P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">To be honest, I hessitate, whether i should or should not do this today. Especially with exercise because i am not new to sports so i am doing workouts in the morning and sometimes i get fatigued. Then it is the hardest part but i talk to myself  and say &quot;you can make it easier today&quot; and then just start to do my routine. It is really a fight between conscious and unconscious mind and oje if the toughest because you yourself are the arch nemesis of yourself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jacob J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A good strategy for this is counting down from three then doing whatever it is that needs to get done. So you remember you need to do something, and say, &quot;3, 2, 1, Go!&quot; As soon as you say go you have to get up and do it, you want no time to think of something else to do and procrastinate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kyle W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to change my working environment. I might move to a different room or settle down somewhere else to just move. Or I might just take a break for about 5 minutes, walking around the house and looking out the window, drink some water and refresh myself to come back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ariana G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to rest for a while, breath, walk, eat something but only for 15 minutes maximum, so I won\u2019t have laziness to continue.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sofia P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I fight this all the time. I have fibromyalgia, so sometimes I have to just give in to it and not beat myself up. Other times I know I just need to rest. Sometimes though, I just caffeinate and try to do the best I can.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maja P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think of people who would be proud of me if I go and do it. It makes me feel better and gives me the energy and courage to do whatever that task is.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Leslie C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well, I believe in the power of music. Anything is possible with a little help of music and dancing. So, i put music on, think about it a little while and then start to do what must be done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marius C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I make a list of what I need to get done, then I sort it into what has to be done today and what can wait for another day. That way my to do list isn&#39;t overwhelming and I can just focus on 1 or 2 tasks that are a priority.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">S L Ne E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I give myself space to explore how I&#39;m feeling and why. There is always an explanation and when I find the reason I can either correct the cause quickly and move forward in any small way or figure out a more long term solution to my issue.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Phillip T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Instead of doing them, more often i take the time off, but it sits at the back of my head that i backed off so the rest instead of bringing me peace and mindfulness, brings me only self-doubt, distraction and loss of time.<br \/>\nThe times when I did do my obligations even though i had no energy I felt empowered, with strong will and complete, then I wanted to do even more work and the rest felt like it\u2019s deserved and well spend.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Erica Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I sit down for a few min, I take several deep breaths, I drink some cold water, sometimes eat some protein or cheese&#8230;then I get busy and get it done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adrian T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I just learned about the 5 second rule by Mel Robin. When you know that you need to do something, motivated or NOT, count down from 5 to 1 and get to it. I tried it today and have been ahead of schedule on most of my tasks. From getting up early to baby duty \ud83d\ude0a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Riley C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I would sleep or relax for 10-15 minutes. If it doesnt work I would look at my favourite chanels,look videos that are funny or eat something.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jaime T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I made a promise to myself that I will do some good to myself. I often feel anxious and depressed, with no energy. I often have so many things in my head that I want to do, but I just don\u2019t have energy to do it. This week, I decided that it has been enough, that I need to do something. And I made myself a promise. So, every time that I feel that I don\u2019t have energy, I just take a minute, take a deep breath and say to myself, you can do this, you deserve to be happy. And then I do it,\ud83d\ude0a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Flor Ncia E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Take a break in order to reset your mind. Go for a walk in the nature if possible. Then break down your obligations in manageable chunks and write them down on a list, to make it easier to track your progress. As you move forward, mark each item as done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natalie W.
