Motivation Hack #3: Motivation Busters

Being motivated takes work. We all know that. We work on ourselves to find real reason and cost, we set goals and create milestones, we find our prize and set eye on it, we leave no motivation technique alone simply to get motivated and stay motivated.

However, what we are forgetting is that all of this could go in vain if we don’t take care of motivation busters. Motivation busters are sometimes so powerful that all motivation techniques give up against them. Motivation busters are states of body and mind. Two motivation busters that affect us all -

• Being Stressed

  Agreed, some amount of stress is good in life – it works as a motivator and helps us get things done. But, when we start taking too much stress, it starts affecting us negatively.

  All of us react to stress differently – some freeze and can’t think, some panic and keep thinking in circles, some try to hide and avoid stress producing topics totally … in each case, the common thread is that stress successfully de-motivates us from doing what is required. It affects our capacity to do any kind of productive work, it steals us of our desire to work towards our goals.

• Being Unhealthy

  An unfit body will not support you; it will weaken your motivation. You can be a motivated person in spite of having an unhealthy body, but that will require tremendous amount of inner strength and resolve. You will have to work more hard to keep yourself motivated when your body doesn’t support you. There are lot of ways to get unhealthy -

  • Overwork your body, not supply it with adequate rest
  • Eat too much or too little, eat wrong foods
  • Lack of exercise
  • Inadequate sleep

  We all know what is required to stay healthy – eat, sleep, work and rest. The key however is to acknowledge that we need to start practicing healthy habits from now and not wait for some project to get over – because projects get replaced by projects; there is never a perfect time to start with these.

What are the other un-resourceful states of your body and mind? Sadness? Anger? Laziness? How do you deal with them and ensure that you stay with your goals? Do share in comments.
