Lack of Motivation – Change it up!

Sometimes even the most successful individual will have a lack of motivation. But here’s the difference between the successful and the quitters: The successful person who lacks motivation does something different. The quitter – well, since they are used to quitting, they don’t do anything different. They quit.

So what do you do when you have a lack of motivation?

Here’s a suggestion: Take a look at all your skills (we discussed your balance sheet in both our podcast series – “The Success and Opportunity Readiness Track” & “The Success and Opportunity Achievement Track”. Pick one of those skills, write 5 things down that you need to do to harness that talent, skill, or ability, and take those steps to do it.

If, for example, you are a photography hobbyist and love to shoot portraits. Here are five things that you can do, right now, to accomplish a simple goal.

1. Get your Camera Out
2. Find a subject to shoot – a person (for portraits)
3. Schedule an hour to dedicate to photography
4. Do your photoshoot
5. Share your photos

These are 5 simple tasks that you can do! If you are a writer, write 5 steps to accomplish a writing task that can take up a couple of hours of your day!

Think of one thing, anything, and make a plan and do it! It may take 8 hours, it may take 1 hour. But you are active and doing something and you are harnessing your talents and abilities and putting them to use, instead of putting them to waste!

This is a simple technique to get ‘out of the rut’. Especially if you lack motivation!

See how this works? Change things up and do something different! Accomplish a goal and as we all know, accomplishing a simple task or a simple goal leads to motivation to accomplish another task or a goal. Doing something different, changing it up, will help you immediately if you have a lack of motivation!

Trust me – it works.
