Motivation.
It's what drives us forward every day of our living lives.
It's what gets us up in the morning to go work, and it's what keeps us doing everything we need to to get by.
So what happens when we lose this motivation? As many people have found out, the loss of motivation can be a life altering moment.
That moment you decide you "Can't be bothered" you've made a decision to change the direction of your life, whether in a big or small way.
Now the lack of motivation isn't always a bad thing if it leads you onto a better path, something you're motivated about and enjoy.
But sometimes you need to stay motivated with things even if you don't want to.
Here are some tips to stay motivated when when there's a need to carry on doing what you're doing but don't want to: Remember why you're doing it.
What is the reason you first got into this thing? Was there a financial reward? Are you working towards something? Is this something that's going to help your future? Think of the importance behind the task and focus on that.
Let it be your driving force.
'Count your blessing'.
Is there any worse? If you weren't doing this what would you be doing instead? Would your life be better or worse then what it is? We don't always like what we do, but sometimes we have to appreciate what we have as without it we would be a lot worse off.
Failing that: Try and make it fun.
Sometimes you don't want to do something but it simply has to be done.
So why not get some enjoyment out of it? Try and make it fun, make it into a game if possible.
If you stack boxes for example, why not see how many boxes you can stack in a set time period, then try and beat that next time? There's always a way to liven things up, even if it's only a little bit.
Implementing these things will help you stay motivated for longer, but having said that if you really can't stay motivated it isn't always best to stick with what it is you're doing.
At the end of the day, it's your choice.
