Why You’re Not Motivated

Summary

• If you're feeling unmotivated, assess your surroundings and the people you interact with.
• Look critically at the environment you work in and the type of content you consume, as these can impact your motivation levels.
• Aim to create a work environment that naturally inspires you to be productive.
• Surround yourself with people who drive you to pursue greater achievements.
• Address and remove constraints in your life that may be hindering your motivation before looking for additional sources of inspiration.
• Make changes to your immediate surroundings and relationships to see if that alone increases your motivation.

How To Take Action

I would suggest starting with a careful look at where you work and who you spend time with. To boost your motivation, it's important to have a space that makes you feel excited to work. Think about how you can change your office or workspace to make it more inspiring. Maybe add some pictures, plants, or anything that makes you smile.

Next up, think about the people around you. You want to be with people who push you to do more and be better. These can be friends, family, or even following inspiring people online. Spend less time with people who bring you down.

Also, pay attention to what you read, watch, and listen to. Choose things that give you good energy and ideas. Too much negative news or mindless shows might be making it harder to feel motivated.

Sometimes, we need to get rid of stuff that's holding us back before we go looking for new things to lift us up. Take a look at your life and ask if there’s something, like a habit or even an old goal, that doesn't fit anymore. It's okay to let it go. After you do, you might find that you're already feeling more motivated.

Lastly, if you make these changes to your place, your pals, and your pastimes, see if that alone gets you feeling more eager to get stuff done. It's often those simple shifts that make a big difference.
