How to Get Motivated Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

Understanding and Utilizing Motivational Circuitry
People often struggle with motivation by attempting to conquer it rather than understand and utilize it. Embracing an understanding of one’s motivational circuitry allows for the crafting of a life where actions are easier to execute and outcomes enhance naturally. The focus should shift from fixating solely on positive outcomes to recognizing the value of the process itself. By letting go of rigid goals, like aiming for sobriety over a long term, one can focus on immediate actions that lead to improvement, as the idea of long-term goals can create a sense of unattainable pressure. Motivational interviewing, particularly in addiction recovery, emphasizes that outcomes are not actions; thus, fostering an appreciation for actionable steps can drive success without the burden of overwhelming goals.
