July 26 – Feeling less motivated? Are you struggling because you are not motivated to do some of the work or tasks on your plate? Has some of what you are trying to achieve lost its luster? Are you caught in wishful vacation mode or perhaps even a little burned out? Could you use a little break or could it be because of an unclear purpose or undefined reasons behind why doing these things is important?
Not everything you do to achieve what you ultimately desire can be glamorous or exhilarating. Having a clear purpose and strong reasons are essential to staying motivated, especially through the periods of handling activities required for success that may seem mundane at the time. Your purpose and reasons may also be stimulus for others to come on board and do the less exciting activities for you. By spreading the magic of moving things forward beyond just you, you may also find a little time for that much needed break.
Take an MM&I Moment to awaken to why the work you must do and the specific tasks you need to perform are important for achieving your goals. Which goals are they supporting? What is essential to successfully reach these goals? How are the work and the tasks on your to-do lists helping move you closer to your goals? If certain tasks are essential, but also are not very interesting to you, how can your reasons, passion, vision, and purpose engage others to take the baton and run with them? Motivation is, first and foremost, a personal initiative. What motivates you directly impacts everyone and everything around you.
