Wikipedia defines motivation as the driving force by which humans achieve their goals. Some days I can feel that driving force pushing me along in the right direction. Other days, I think my driving force took a wrong turn somewhere and is missing in action for weeks on end. This appears to be the case for the last few weeks.
For nearly a month now, my motivation has been missing in action. I have had no desire to do anything in terms of my workouts, bucket list items, or anything else with a goal attached to it. I’ve simply been focused on reading, wedding stuff, and TV’s fall lineup. The annoying thing about it all is I completely recognize my lack of effort in my life’s efforts and give myself those negative pep talks to get myself moving to no avail. Basically, there has been little forward progress in the past few weeks.
Some of this can be blamed on the wedding. I am in the final stretch and really need to make sure everything is done and ready as best I can and I will admit this is my first and most important priority right now. The only other thing I would really like to focus on as well is my exercise/eating routine. Everything else can go by the wayside until after the wedding but my weight/health needs to be on the important list as well. The healthier I feel, the more I accomplish so it’s beneficial to me to get that motivation back.
I saw a glimmer of it yesterday and managed to eat well and exercise so I’m hoping my driving force is on its way home again. Maybe I can persuade it to stick around long term this time. How do you find motivation?
