How To Get Motivated When You Have An Off Day

Sometimes you just don´t have the energy to get excited,
motivated or inspired enough to do what has to be done.

What can you do on days like these?

There are three simple yet powerful ways to pull yourself
out of a slump. And best of all you can start using these
strategies today.

1. Complete Something
It is very important to start and finish something when you
need to get back on track.

Pick a small task, one that can be done in 5-10 minutes.
Then ignore everything else and devote all of your
attention to completing that task.

When you have finished it you will feel a lot better about
dealing with all of the other jobs that need to be done.
One small success leads to much greater success.

Now, simply the repeat the process with another small task
until you build some momentum.

2. Set Tight Time Deadlines
On days that you feel sluggish work in 30 minute blocks.
Tell yourself you only need to focus for the next 30
minutes and then get started on the next task at hand.

If you feel very unmotivated work for 20 minute or even 15
minute time periods. The key is to get busy and do the best
you can.

Then take a quick break and acknowledge the progress you
are making. One small step after the next will take you to
where you want to go.

3. Read Or Listen To Motivational Material
You need to inspire yourself to greater success on a daily
basis. This is important because of the negativity that
bombards us from other people and the media.

If you don´t take charge of your thinking someone else will
do it for you. Thinking about the positive instead of the
negative requires a daily commitment. It is a choice we all
make each day.

And remember...

You are not expected to be highly motivated and driven on a
empty tank. Give yourself positive fuel each and everyday
and you will be consistently more motivated.

Make a point of feeding your mind with positive input each
and every day and your attitude will become consistently
more positive. You will feel more motivated even on the off
days.
