Help! I’ve Lost My Motivation
How to get your mojo back in three easy steps.
Overcoming extreme resistance
First things first, it is a barefaced LIE that you need motivation in order to do anything.
You don’t!
It’s much easier to do something when you actually want to do it, but the truth is that if you want to master a skill, whether that is weight loss, playing guitar or entrepreneurship, then you need to do stuff even when you don’t feel like doing it.
In fact, especially when you don’t feel like doing it.
#discipline
I know, I wish it was easier!
Sometimes you get into a situation where you recognise you have no motivation and that this would be a perfect time to practice discipline, but you still
don’t
do
anything.
You consciously make a poor choice that does not help to move you forward and then, of course, you beat yourself up about it.
Nobody wins!
I was feeling like this for a few weeks this summer. I really did not want to write or work on my business and would literally do anything else instead.
