There are many reasons why we can lose motivation, feel stuck or even start sabotaging our efforts.<\/p>\n
After talking with clients I have come up with some reasons and some potential solutions that may help to get you moving again \u2013 that is if that\u2019s what you\u2019re meant to be doing\u2026..<\/strong><\/p>\n Even if it is an area that we want to go in to, fear can still try and hold us back and want to keep us safe. \u00a0Listen to what these fears are. Are they actually real, potential issues that maybe you need to be aware of or pay attention to, or is it your imagination running away on you\/based on previous experiences and outcomes.<\/p>\n When we are working on something that could cause substantial change in our lives\/our direction\/our relationships, it is not surprising that this may bring up some resistance . \u00a0We can question why would we want to change everything, even if we know, it is not serving us? Deep down we know that the change will be worth it.<\/p>\n Is what you are working towards something that is true to you? Are you doing it because you \u2018should\u2019, or because it is something really important to you. \u00a0What we can find is that our true self slows us down because it knows that whatever you\u2019re doing is not a true representation on us. What we are \u2018meant\u2019 to be doing, may not actually be what we truly need right now.<\/p>\n Getting clear on our future\/what type of work we want to do\/why we want to be healthier can really help us stay motivated and focussed. \u00a0It is one thing when we don\u2019t know what the future will bring and hold that in a positive light, like an adventure, but when we are not clear and bugged by uncertainty it is hardly surprising if we find it difficult to get moving forward.<\/p>\n With the routine everyday things, it can often be easy to know what to do, what step follows which etc, but on something new or bigger, sometimes we need to break it down so that it is much more manageable.<\/p>\n This can certainly slow things down, when it is not anyone else\u2019s opinions\/thoughts\/values affecting the show, but one part of us wants one thing, and another part wants another. \u00a0How can we be true to both parts of us?<\/p>\n When we are working on something for someone else sometimes we may have tight constraints as to where we can go with it or how much of our self we are able to put in to it. \u00a0When this happens we may not feel inspired to give this all of our attention\/thoughts\/energy or whatever else is required.<\/p>\n Too much of a challenge can seem overwhelming, not enough of a challenge can make us lose interest quickly. \u00a0Where are you at with what you are working on? Are you simply avoiding the bigger challenges so that you can just stay in your comfort zone, or if you did start breaking down some of those bigger ones would you actually start seeing some shifts and the magic happen?<\/p>\n We are born to connect and engage with people, and it can be hard when working on something on our own.<\/p>\n When we have taken too much on it is hardly surprising that we end up feeling like we just want to shut down, and maybe that is what we need to do.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t be using that last one as a cop-out if you think it is probably one of the others that is causing you to slow down or stop.<\/p>\n Which one truly resonates with you?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are many reasons why we can lose motivation, feel stuck or even start sabotaging our efforts.
