Are you simply unmotivated at times? Do your body and mind get sluggish every once in a while? Does it feel like your body is stuck to the chair or couch and, no matter how hard you try, you can't move? You can't get yourself going even when you must get up and get things done?
Those can be frustrating times, can't they?
Relax. Even the most productive people feel stagnant from time to time. Successful people do certain things with their bodies and minds during those challenging times that other people do not. They have a strategy to get themselves “unstuck.”
Successful people have conditioned themselves to take action—any action. They force themselves to keep moving. Even if they don't know exactly what the “right” action to take during those unmotivated times may be, they push themselves to do something. They do anything that will stimulate their mind and body. Successful people understand that moving in any direction is usually better than not moving in any direction at all.
Don't just sit there and think about how you can't get yourself going. Shake things up! What you need during these times is some mental, emotional, and physical stimulation!
Go on a run. Take a hike. Go to the gym. Stand up and do 25 jumping jacks. Go into a private room; turn up some music; and dance like a wild and crazy person would! Read a chapter in an empowering book. Get in your car and drive some place you've never been before. Stop and talk to someone you don't know in a coffee shop. Go look at a new car—even if you don't need one. Make a phone call to someone you haven't talked to in a long time. Do anything out of your normal, everyday pattern.
Stimulate your mind and body by doing something different. Condition your mind and body to take some type of action when you just don't feel like doing anything.
What activity have you found that works best for you? While you are experimenting with different things that shake things up for you, make a list. Refer to that list of mind and body “rattlers” and choose one of your favorites every time you are feeling unmotivated.
Have an AWESOME week!
