What motivates me is knowing it isn’t going to help to just sitting around waiting to be moved to do something, and I usually feel better after doing something, anything, even if it’s just a small step.
I agree take some little step
@soulsings
What motivates me is knowing, nothing will ever change, if I myself don't change something 💜💕
@Amanda84 the way I see it is the only things I can change is my own reactions and attitudes.
@soulsings Often its stuff I Wanna to do but allow myself at times to think another person would do better at it than me but the more I think About how much I Want to do it and feeling the excitement and joy from within I eventually push the initial thought out of mind and take action
@eternalHero77 great second effort!
@soulsings
- What motivates you to get going when you are feeling down and unmotivated?
that consistency will eventually pay off. - Do you try to push yourself to do things or just wait until you feel motivated?
it depends, if im burnt out and need a break, i will. but if its just me being lazy, i try to push through it
@daydreammemories a very flexible approach.
@soulsings
I push myself everyday just to keep going. Not sure why anymore other than I'm too stubborn to quit.
@courageouspanda2006 for me it is to see how the story comes out.
@soulsings
What motivates you to get going when you are feeling down and unmotivated?
Doing it for my future self.
Do you try to push yourself to do things or just wait until you feel motivated?
I push myself if the task at hand requires urgent action.
@trueconfidant123 I do not want to leave an empty basket for my future self so I keep on going.
@soulsings I like that. Thank you.
@soulsings
It depends a lot on what's going on, how important or urgent it is. Some important things become urgent in time.
Can I feel unmotivated when a baby needs a diaper change? It does not even cross my mind.

@Fradiga is that the grandkids visiting that sends you on diaper duty?
@soulsings
Ha ha ! No.... Memories of my own kids
@Fradiga oh well at least I did not think you had newborns in the house! lol
@soulsings
I don't know what's wrong with me but somehow have always volunteered to do things others don't want to do, be it cleaning the toilet after a blind woman had a diarrhea accident in there, being the secretary of meetings when obviously nobody wants to be in charge of taking minutes, dealing with irate or agitated people to whom no-one wants to talk to any more...
I don't care. Somebody has to do it
@Fradiga You are a good sport.
It depends.
Usually I know I’ll feel better if I just get the thing done.
Some things can wait.
@CalmRosebud I definitely feel better by not procrastinating and getting things done.
@soulsings soundtrack of intesteller 🙂
@chillmoon that sounds like space music!
@soulsings It does. It's a movie which most of the scenes happens in space.
@Eleana154 Google Translate says that means "I force myself"
thank you for response. It helps if you reply in English as many people are used to using that.
