Are you aware :: what one of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves when feeling unmotivated?
Ever feel you’re in a rut but not quite clear why?
Or maybe you are, say - because you received news you were absolutely confident would go the other way ::
the promotion
the new or renewed contract
the addition of resources you/your team so desperately needs
your relationship dissipating
All of which caught you by surprise.
You’re in so deep you’re not sure how to pull yourself back up.
First, you’re not alone!
One of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves when feeling unmotivated is sit with our emotions for a period.
Don’t dwell.
Don’t overthink.
Allow ourselves the grace of a bit of time.
…& the simplest tool backed by neuroscience is to write it out.
Then, two words :: JUST DO
Push through the hesitation.
Nerd tip :: it’s a science backed fact, intrinsic motivation gets ignited when we’re doing activities that provide a sense of meaning, a purpose.
The data shows, when our actions are aligned with our values - our brains, our bodies naturally push us - strengthening our ability to remain motivated.
Let’s find that connection! What excites us truly ignites us!
Now, I’m going to go ‘JUST DO’ … what about you?
