Loss of motivation

When the goals are still there but the inner “why” has gone quiet.

Loss of motivation

How it usually shows up

  • Everything is done by force
  • No joy in the result
  • You keep postponing

What is happening

Motivation rarely disappears for no reason. Usually the goal stopped being yours: it came from other people's expectations, comparison or an older version of you.

Instead of hunting for motivation, return to your values and shrink the next step until it no longer triggers resistance.

Three first steps right now

  1. Write down three of your real reasons why.
  2. Reduce the next step to five minutes.
  3. Notice which goal is in fact not yours.
