When you feel unmotivated, what do you do?
Have you experienced bike riding? How much have you enjoyed propelling as you get from place to place, and suddenly your bike tire went flat. You want to go, but you are unable to.
This is the same feeling when you’re unmotivated. Flat tire is like not having energy or desire to do anything. Your mind says GO, but the spirit is not there! We have those days when we just don’t feel like doing anything, even the things we normally enjoy. We feel “blah”! Our internal battery is too low, and you can’t muster the energy to get things done.
What can cause feeling unmotivated? When you’re physically and mentally exhausted, it’s hard to find the motivation to do anything. Not getting enough sleep or feeling physically drained can zap your motivation.
When you have too much on your plate, it can be paralyzing and make you not want to start anything.
Sometimes, we worry so much about messing up that we don’t even want to try. We suddenly feel not being good enough.
If you’re doing the same thing over and over, can get boring and make you lose interest, particularly if it takes a longer time for the anticipated results to be seen.
So, what can you do when you’re feeling unmotivated? Sometimes, the best thing you can do is step away , then come back later when you have more energy. A walk outside can bring a change.
Or perhaps, all you need is a little time to rest and recharge. Find something that you enjoy, listen to music
If something seems too big to handle, break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks.
Set small goals and reward yourself by celebrating that accomplishments,
Everyone feels unmotivated sometimes. It’s okay to not be okay. By understanding what’s causing it and taking steps to address it, you can get back on track and achieve your goals. Feeling unmotivated is normal.
Just like placing new air on your bike’s flat tire, so can get to ride on it again. Then enjoy the renewed experience as the satisfying breeze hits your face, as you propell heading homeward.

I'm sure we all have days when motivation is at a minimum Mariaster....
Stepping back and getting some rest in, or just do something else entirely and have some fun are great ways I get my motivation back!
Enjoy the rest of your week my friend!
👍🥂😊
We all have motivation at a lowest point Nickster ~~~ and stepping back, doing entirely something different and having some fun are ways to get your motivation back.
Thank you Nickster!

Hi, Maria,
I find that if I try to work when "I'm not feelin' it," my output is not good at all, so I shut down the desktop and take care of the many things I neglect due to creating (Since I started using AI I'm not allowed to say writing anymore per my AI-hating friends.)

Being unmotivated is a normal phenomenon!
As long as we know how to get back. As I do the same way when I feel unmotivated Dave! Good thing we have AI!!!

Hi Maria
I listen to music when I’m home working on my website.
When I get bored I pick up a guitar and it works like magic! 😎

That was such a thought provoking and articulate way to explain motivation. I can find myself in that situation, especially after a long day at work. I enjoy escaping into nature and taking my dog for walks. We go on nature walks a lot and we absolutely love it.
Thank you for sharing this post. It has really helped me.
Blessings and Abundance!
