How to Get Motivated When You’re Feeling Uninspired

[[:encoded, "We all have those days when we just don’t feel like doing the work associated with achieving our goals, so the question is: How do you get motivated when you’re feeling uninspired?\n\nIt’s as simple as finding the motivating factor - the thing that will inspire you to take the next step.\n\nBut what if the thing that normally motivates you isn’t working today – right now when you need it? How do you get motivated and inspired to do what you need to do?\n\nFind a new motivator.\n\nFirst, identify your usual motivating factor by clarifying what normally leads you to action: The pleasure of achieving the desired end result or the pain of avoiding an unwanted result.\n\nIn other words, every decision you make is based on the positive attraction to the pleasure of the benefits (pleasure) or in the negative avoidance of the pain of the penalties (pain). \n\nWhen you find the dominant motivator (pleasure or pain) all you have to do is leverage it to inspire you to take action.\n\nFor instance, some days you may be motivated by pleasure, other days it might be by pain. Pay attention to the days you feel especially inspired to get motivated. Are those days when you feel most inspired driven predominantly by pleasure of the doing or pain of not doing? (This is your usual motivating factor.)\n\nTip: Log your personal motivators in a journal or notebook to identify your personal motivators and patterns to help you better manage your actions and goal achievement.\n\nWhen you discover your personal motivator factor, you know what to switch up on the days when you feel uninspired. \n\nIf you’re feeling uninspired, start by asking yourself these questions:\n\nWhat are the Results If I Do The Work?\nThis is the pleasure motivator…when you’re motivated to do the work because of the benefits it brings.\n\nIf you’re feeling uninspired, this is the first question to ask yourself. You may not feel like going to the gym, but the benefits of doing the work inspires you to take the action you need in order to achieve the end results.\n\nAsk yourself:\nWhat are the end results when I do the work?\n\nKeep going:\nAre the end results, regardless of the work that has to be done at this moment, enough to motivate me? Is my desire for the end results deep enough to get me to do what I need to do now to achieve a future goal?\n\nIf you’re inspired to do the work, you’ve found your motivating factor. Take action NOW, before your inspiration wavers!\n\nWhat are the Results If I Don’t
