Understanding and Boosting Your Self Motivation

Feeling unmotivated can be caused by stress, burnout, or changes in your mental health. Identifying underlying factors and setting small, achievable goals can help renew your motivation. Remember that fluctuations are normal and seeking support or practicing self-care may improve your drive.

self motivation, i seem to be having a problem with it this year for some reason. self motivation has always come easy to me but lately its been very hard even when i get excited about something. please tell its not because i getting old. lol that would suck. its like i need help getting motivated and i do like it. anyone having the same problem? or what you think i should do about it? i just dont know why i cant push myself like i use too. grrr

i know what i want to do but getting self to work to it is being a pain.

As soon your goal crosses your mind

Jump up and do something towards it

Any small step is better than

No step.

You gotta start somewhere

Life is passing by

Set up some easier goals to reach in the meantime. Hitting some goal will be motivating and you can feed off that energy.

yea i have been doing that. its weird, my head is getting into it, but my body has plans of its own. lol i am also trying not to beat myself up about it when things are not getting done when i plan them. lol

yeah it can be like you're stuck in a rut. I'm kind of like that now

but do you feel like it's your stress or your thoughts on getting something done..preventing you from getting something done?

How old are you, OP? I just turned 28 and noticed a dip in my energy, but I think it's due to something other than age.
