How do you deal with lack of motivation for tasks that you dislike, yet must be done by you?
There are only two ways to get motivated: push or pull. Push is when you’re motivated into action by fear; pull is when you are motivated into action by desire. Ideally, you should always be motivated by positive reinforcement; that’s when your desire pulls you forward. Although being motivated by push works some of the time, it is obviously driven by fear, which is a negative reinforcement - and the least desirable.
Think of something that you recently procrastinated on and put off. Did you finally take action from fearing the outcome if you didn’t take action or the excitement of desiring the outcome if you did take action? Which feeling - fear or desire - do you take action from most often?
If you are motivated by desire most of the time - you’re on the right track. However, if you answered fear, you probably frequently procrastinate on getting things done. This not only hurts your personal growth, it also can be devastating to your success. It could be due to the fear of the outcome, uncertainty or a lack of self-confidence. Work on your WHY to help you be motivated by your desire.
