Feeling low on motivation (what to do about it)
I’d by lying to you if I said that I never say things like:
“I feel tired’
“I can’t be bothered to exercise”
“I don’t have the energy”
“I feel like I’ve not got my usual energy”
“I feel like $#*!”
Maybe I’m tired? A bit run down
But the thing about catching yourself saying ‘I feel like [insert here]”
You are about to use an analogy…
Which means it is NOT REAL….
But I get that when you’re in this state and you’re feeling low?
It is difficult to get out of.
So here are 3 things to get out of this low state:
Task One:
1) Write down a list of the things that make you feel happy.
2) Whenever you feel low? Do one of these things
I can guarantee that you have a list in your head of the things that make you feel low that are top of mind awareness.
After all, if you don’t know what makes you happy, how do you know what it is to be happy?
Task Two:
Change your environment.
Ring a friend? Meet someone who you haven’t seen in a while. Go to a coffee shop. Meet like minded people. It might be the last thing you want to do…but there’s only one way to find out if it is actually the thing you need to do
And often the last thing you want to do is the thing you should do…
Energy is not given..
You have to create it…
Task Three:
Take your focus somewhere else…
What you focus on…becomes what you focus on…
A thought does NOT mean it is true. I can guarantee you’ve changed your opinion before right?
That’s changing your thoughts?
Normal thoughts are there to protect you. You don’t have to believe them…
And when all that doesn’t work?
And you can honestly say you have done it?
Do something for someone else..
I can’t guarantee this will work for you
But what I can say with 100% certainty is that it definitely will not work if you don’t try it…
Lacking confidence?
Good news is that confidence loves evidence and evidence comes from doing…
Lacking energy?
What one thing could you do today to create energy?
GO…
