Are your goals big enough?
My daughter said she wasn’t motivated. If her goals were bigger, and more real, the goals would have her focus instead of her focus having to be on summoning motivation. Worrying about your motivation is like putting your whole focus on whether you’re inclined to get out of the car when you’ve driven to the store to pick up an item for dinner. If you get stuck there, you have a bigger problem to deal with in your mind. Otherwise, you just get out of the car after you put it in park because you have the objective of picking up the item from the store. You aren’t worried about summoning the will to emerge from the car, since the focus is on the goal. No motivation? Get goals. No context in which to have goals? Change your context. If our life isn’t working out we have two options: 1) Change our perspective, and if that doesn’t work 2) change our environment. Those are the conscious things we can do to make the unconscious things easier to line up for smooth living.
Happy Thanksgiving.
