Not having the motivation to work towards your goals every day means quite simply – in a word – failure. You have a short time on Earth so why wouldn’t you want to make the best mark possible? If you want to live a life of meaning and success (to whatever your definition of these things are – because there is no right or wrong definition) you need to be unstoppable in the pursuit of your goals.
1 Get up Early
Don’t be one of those people who stays in bed until midday. Even if you have a day off you should stick to your normal routine and get out of bed early. The more hours you have in a day, the more likely you are going to find inspiration and actually do something.
Frequently asked questions
2 Social Growth
One way for how to go from unmotivated to unstoppable is to work on building your social circle. By joining hobby groups and putting yourself out there on a more regular basis, you will find that you are invited to functions more and given more opportunities to get out and about. Social interaction is the perfect tonic for an unmotivated person.
3 Fill Your Schedule
Make an effort to fill up your daily schedule from early morning all the way through to the evening,. If you know you still have things to do and people to see, your brain will refuse to turn off and you won’t start to feel tired and unmotivated until the end of the night when it is perfectly acceptable to want to fall in to bed!
4 Role Model
Find a role model, whether it’s somebody you know in real life or somebody you respect in the world of celebrity that you can aspire to be like. Being unmotivated can feel like a really cloudy time, but having somebody whose lead you can follow gives you some light at the end of the tunnel.
5 New Hobby
Try to fill up your spare, unmotivated time with a new hobby. It can literally be anything, from sewing to yoga to setting your own personal reading challenge for the year. Your new hobby should be something low maintenance enough that you can pick it up any time of the day when you start to feel unmotivated.
6 Offer Free Service
Turn your unmotivated time in to productive time by offering some free help to any friend or family member that might need it. Whether it’s cleaning out a garage or cooking a meal for a group of loved ones, you will not only be filling your time but lending a hand will make you feel good.
7 Exercise
The thought of getting up and working out is probably the last thing an unmotivated person wants to hear, but the science does not lie. The endorphins that your body produces during exercise will give a feeling of euphoria that you can then carry with you in to the other tasks and aspects of your daily life.
8 Save Money
Put a jar aside where you can put the odd dollar or two in a day. By the end of the year you will have a nice little pot that you can treat yourself with. No matter how big or small, it’s still something to look forward to and work towards.
9 Make Your Bed
When you get out of bed, don’t leave it in the crumpled, messy heap that your sleeping self made it in to. Just completing this simple task in the morning can really set you up for a day of increased productivity, and there is also nothing better than getting in to a freshly made bed at the end of the evening, satisfied with how much progress towards your goals you have made.
When you’re super-motivated you can conquer the world – well, your own little patch of it, anyway.
