We all lack motivation sometimes. It’s normal.  So, how can you motivate yourself to get something done?  Start small.  Take one step. 

I worked with someone who felt that they procrastinated and were lazy because of it. We worked together on rebuilding their self-image, and I helped them realize that they were doing what they needed to do in support of themselves at that time.  We worked on taking small steps and changing how they saw themselves. And, it worked.  By the end of our program, they realized they had changed from where they were when we started, and one of the simplest things we did was write to-do lists.  What helped even more was adding the things they did that weren’t on the list to start.  By seeing it written down and seeing items crossed off, they realized that they were getting things done, and seeing that helped motivate them to keep going and do more.  The other thing that helped build that motivation was having someone to hold them accountable but be supportive when something got it the way.

I’d love to help you if you need an accountability partner or need some help figuring out what’s getting in your way and holding you back from whatever your goal might be.
