How To Get Motivated Using The 2 ‘Driving Forces’ of Motivation
How to use the two driving forces to ‘hack’ your state to feel motivated and inspired to take action…
Do you ever struggle with feeling unmotivated to do the things you know you should do?
You know you should work on an important project, but you feel so much feel inner-resistance towards it that you’d rather do something else (like watching funny cat videos on YouTube).
I actually experienced that yesterday morning. You see, every single day I write a blogpost here on Medium. But yesterday, I just didn’t feel like it. I felt a lot of inner resistance towards sitting down and writing for 2–3 hours. I quickly noticed the excuses and procrastinative thoughts coming up.
In the past, I would’ve just given in to this feeling. I would’ve wasted a lot of time procrastinating, work on lesser important tasks instead and postpone the task until ‘tomorrow’ (but as we all know, ‘tomorrow’ usually stays ‘tomorrow’).
That’s also why, in the past, I didn’t earn a lot of money and had a hard time growing my business. I simply wasn’t doing the things I knew I should be doing on a consistent basis — and that’s one of the most common reasons why people don’t achieve their goals.
