How to get motivated when your not feeling great
What to do if your feeling unmotivated:
.
BLAH. Do you ever feel stuck in a rut? I have days that I’m so busy working onset, answering emails, taking calls, writing blog posts, that I can feel completely overwhelmed and then get stuck in a lazy ass rut. You know what I’m talking about.
.
By all means if your body is telling you to slow down then rightfully do so- you don’t want to get burnt out or sick. However, if I’m feeling stuck, lazy, or unmotivated here are my easy tips to SNAP BACK:
.
Make your bed. It takes 2 minutes, looks pretty, and congratulations you accomplished the first task of the day leaving you feeling with a sense of encouragement.
.
Get your favorite pens (I love to use a pencil) out and WRITE IT DOWN. Brew yourself a nice cup of tea (green tea if we want a caffeine boost) and Write a to-do list out on paper in front of you with no more than 5 things. Seeing your priorities on paper helps you physically see what you need to get done and it feels so good to cross your task off after completed.
.
Listen to podcasts! @timferriss@tailopez @tonyrobbins @lewishowes@aubreymarcus are all GREAT and super motivating podcasters to help you feel inspired to get up and get shit done.
.
Move. Get up. Take a walk. Get outside. Do this for mental clarity not necessarily a work out. Unless you feel motivated to get in a work out then hats off and bravo 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 you 👏🏼 I suggest doing 5 to 10 easy reps of something.
.
Clean. Nothing better than a clean and organized space. + then even if you do have a lazy day, your cortisol levels (stress hormones) aren’t YAY high because you have a relaxing sanctuary rather than a messy home. It makes the WORLD of a difference.
.
Diffuse citrus oils 🍊. Citrus scents wake you the F up 👏🏼 they naturally energize you.
.
Say NO. Sometimes saying YES to everything can drain your energy even more leaving you even more uninspired and unmotivated. For all you people pleasers out there you know exactly what I mean.
.
Get a posture belt. There are 2 poses. Power pose with your chest open standing tall and no slouch + low power pose making you small, slouchy, and closed off. Power pose increases confidence and productivity. x
