Struggling with Motivation? Try This!

from Purpose, Passion, Profit · host Ken Eash

It's important to remember that sometimes motivation won't come easily, and we may have to confront difficult tasks head-on, knowing that there may not be an immediate reward. In these instances, simply mustering the courage to face the challenge can be a victory in itself. Ultimately, by recognizing the end goal and visualizing the positive outcome that awaits us on the other side of our efforts, we can inspire ourselves to push through and do the hard work necessary to achieve our goals. So, embrace the discomfort, tackle the tough tasks, and take pride in doing good work.

Join me in this episode as I dive into the challenge of finding motivation in doing things we don't necessarily want to do. We all have those days when the last thing we feel like doing is tackling our to-do list. But how do we push past this lack of motivation? One approach is to simply steel ourselves against the resistance and commit to getting the task done, even if we don't feel like it. Sometimes, sheer willpower is what it takes to force ourselves to take action. Another strategy is to incentivize ourselves by offering a reward once the dreaded task is completed. Whether it's treating ourselves to a cold beer, indulging in a favorite snack, or watching an episode of a TV show, the promise of a reward can be a powerful motivator. Alternatively, we can find motivation in the satisfaction of a job well done. By focusing on the sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a challenging task, we can shift our perspective and find the drive to see it through. It's important to remember that sometimes motivation won't come easily, and we may have to confront difficult tasks head-on, knowing that there may not be an immediate reward. In these instances, simply mustering the courage to face the challenge can be a victory in itself.
