ask yourself this" how bad do you want it?" then for some reason your mind will tell you the answer lol.. it works for me :)

think of the alternative, do nothing get nothing in return :-)

Have you ever heard the joke-how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Find one thing to do and do just that or set a time limit, say 5 or 10 min. When the time is up, move on to something else.

Hi Katie. You've done well with your website so far. Just take your time with it. Don't rush or think you have to keep up with others otherwise you might burn out. The suggestions from other WA members in this discussion are great for motivation as well :) Patti

Good cup of coffee!

I started creating and following a weekly plan with the start of this year and that has made a tremendous difference for me. Keeps me focused on what I need and want to do. Also, always have a way of taking notes handy as you never know when that inspiration will hit you.

Good Morning! Don't worry about your slump. It is very natural. Your mind can only absorb so much. You probably overloaded, as we all do. Do some deep breathing, listen to some of your favorite music and start a journal. You will find out a lot of things about yourself by writing daily on your thoughts. You can read all the motivation books and everything else that is out there however; it's your thought patterns that need a break. Also, are you drinking enough water? Are you sleeping good? Are you taking enough crucial vitamins and minerals? Sometimes we forget the basics. I'm a Holistic Health Practitioner so am giving you a different approach. Have a good day!

The dreaded lack of motivation bug! I am right there with you. I have moments of pure genius where I have so many great ideas but for some reason it takes everything I have (and even then sometimes it just doesnt happen) to actually put it into action. If I could do this while sleeping I would be a millionaire right now I swear. It can be really hard to stay motivated especially with zero deadlines, no boss, and no extremely pressing issues crushing your shoulders that keep trying to push you to keep going. I'll be honest, without all this I tend to just come off as lazy.
So how do you fight it! Well one great way would be to use the search bar up there to find other stories of people who are trying to stay motivated, here are two but there are a WHOLE lot on here so take heart that you are not the first nor shall you be the last https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/izzysmommy/blog/for-those-who-need-inspiration-motivation-or-a-reason-to-keep-pushing and https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/danie-jones/blog/lacking-motivation-try-this
Its really a matter of finding what drives you I think. You just got married, finished school, what do you want to get out of this =). Or you could just be like me, kinda burned yourself out the first few days and need a short break to get away from it all and reset. Eat icecream (always my first recommendation), do something that you enjoy, and just get away from the computer for a day or two. If after that you still dread coming back to it, maybe think about changing your niche? or simply readdress why you really want this to work out. Nothing works better for me then when I finally have to get dressed and go into work and I am like ugh I wouldnt have to go to work if I put more effort into my site! Think happy thoughts, take a deep breath, and get to work! =) sorry for the long post

Hi KD, I imagine most people can relate, at least at times - I know I can. When you are in the midst of lesson after lesson and you seem to just be going through the paces, remember that not-very-far down the road comes monetization! That's what keeps me going if I get discouraged. I know that very soon, Kyle and Carson will be showing me how to actually make money from the website I have just built and that is all I need to make sure I complete at least one lesson per day. Hope that helps.
