Getting Past the Barrier of Low Motivation
One of the things I see people struggle with most is lack of motivation. This ultimately leads to a vicious cycle of procrastination, carrying the weight of all things left undone, and guilt for putting those things off. Whether we're talking about exercise, staying organized/clean, keeping up with that to-do list, developing better habits, or daunting work projects, we all struggle at times to find the motivation needed to "just do it". When we just don't feel like it, we put it off til later. After all, there's always tomorrow. The problem with this, however, is that tomorrow often turns into the next day, week, month or year. This leaves us feeling discouraged and reinforces the idea that we just don't have what it takes to stay on top of things or to develop healthier patterns that stick.
