We all resonate with a lack of motivation at one point or another, whether that’s professionally or outside of work. You’ve probably done your own research on how to find motivation and tried common strategies like setting smaller goals, taking breaks, or keeping to a regular schedule. If these tips haven’t proven to be effective for you, you’re in the right place.
We often unconsciously engage in and become reliant on sources of motivation that simply aren’t sustainable. Maybe you think you need passion to sustain you through a task, depend on fear to fuel you, or perhaps you’re hooked on feeling busy to stay motivated. These go-to strategies might provide short spurts of motivation, but the reality is they aren’t long-lasting.
