Reviving Motivation

Reviving Motivation

Have you ever felt that your motivation is fading out? Or do you feel at the instant that it’s gone entirely? Do you speculate how you’ll ever get it back?

Time and again it happens that a lot of people find their enthusiasm falling or diminishing on the whole. When this happens, you are likely to feel trapped and you’re not really moving forward. You may feel disturbed because you’re
not taking any steps forward. Seeing your-self making progress is one way to be stimulated. But if that’s not there, it becomes a sadistic circle, because when you’re not making progress, you don’t feel motivated that leads to a frustrated life.

When you want to boost your driving force, it’s worth remembering that there’s a disparity between it and inspiration. Motivation is an external source which encourages you and gives you ideas. Inspiration comes from within and
the encouragement and ideas are one’s own. When it comes from within, you own it and will feel inspired. When you feel inspired you’ll take action and taking action is the key to achieving what you want, whether it’s increasing your business, making changes
in your life or progressing towards your dreams.

I’ve found that people’s inspiration drops when they’ve been doing the same thing time and again. You may feel you’re stuck in a pothole; it’s become a bit of a drag. If you’re feeling this way, it’s no wonder your inspiration
has decided to ‘wander off’.

Sometimes you just need to take a break or have a rest from what you’re doing and your inspiration may well come back. This break also allows you to re-assess what you’ve been doing and not doing. Perhaps then you’ll see there
are some changes you want to make, perhaps deciding to implement a different strategy or action plan.

Taking a break will mean different things to different people and you need to determine for yourself what this break will be. Perhaps, you’ll decide take a day or a week off work, to play and have fun. Or you may decide to go for
a brisk walk. I’m even inclined to suggest to you that, while taking this break, you tell yourself that you’re not allowed to do or think about anything related to work or whatever it is that you’re taking a break from. It’s surprising how much most of us
react to being told we can’t do or have something. The rebellious part of us often surfaces and wants to fight it.

Taking a break from whatever it is you’ve been doing will probably make you feel apprehensive. All your fears about how much you have to get done, you’re wasting time, what if I don’t want to go back to doing this, are likely to
surface. It’s a natural reaction, but the fear is usually much worse than the reality. You need to trust yourself, face up to the fears and know that you can handle any situation.

After a break, you’ll feel refreshed and when you feel refreshed, your enthusiasm and inspiration will return. Then, you’ll be ready to start moving forward again.

What I want for you is to take a break and allow your inspiration and desire for life and business to return to you naturally.
