Then there are days when I\u2019m not motivated but know I have to get things done so I force myself to move. Then I realize it didn\u2019t take as much effort as I thought it would and I got the task completed. Those days show me that even when you aren\u2019t motivated as long as you do something, you will feel accomplished for doing the work and getting the job done. Sometimes it helps to talk to myself as if I\u2019m another person and tell myself to get up and get to work. That helps a lot as well. I try not to beat myself up if I don\u2019t get everything done. Otherwise I become even less productive. It\u2019s mostly about getting your mind to believe that you must keep moving and working, even when you don\u2019t want to because it\u2019s beneficial to you in the long run.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Stacy N N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I don\u2019t have the motivation I don\u2019t talk myself down and beat myself up I just think right.. what can I do to make it feel easier for me to get into a flow. So I will do a small easy job , like washing up&#x2F; tidying my bedside table etc. I also know for me personally exercise wakes me up. So I will do a small job like the above , then go for a walk which often then will become my run once I am out and moving. I trick myself into it \ud83d\ude02. Then this gets my endorphins flowing so I then become on a mission and find my motivation. Hope this helps!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Adrienne N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I find motivation by starting with my grateful moment. I say \u201cI\u2019m grateful I\u2019m alive. I\u2019m grateful I\u2019m healthy. I\u2019m grateful for my family and friends. I am grateful that I can take charge of how this day goes &#8230;and I\u2019m going to take charge of this day right now!\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Najee O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Listen to music and ask yourself if someone were to walk up and say &quot;if you can get up and follow me to help you I&#39;ll give you 1,000,000 dollars&quot; would I get up?  If you would then you know deep down you do have the energy and motivation to do it.  You just gotta choose too<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abbie Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Often I turn to family, friends, but in my greatest need I turn to a higher power, I pray, and become kinder, more compassionate to myself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Araceli C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When you don\u2019t feel like doing something doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t want to. Moods come and go. When you don\u2019t feel like it, you have to think, if I\u2019m not in the mood to do this why do want to. See you want to. You have dig deep and think I do want to, I do want to. And soon enough you\u2019ll be doing whatever it is you needed motivation for. And if that doesn\u2019t work you can do something super hard for you and then what you needed to do will feel easy. And if that doesn\u2019t work just give it a minute maybe have a nice snack and then see if you feel ready. Just remember there\u2019s always a solution. You just have to find it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maria F. I tell myself that if I finish what I need to get done, I\u2019ll be glad and proud of myself.
