“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice. Wayne Dyer
Having trouble getting Motivated?
What does that word mean any way?
We hear about motivational speakers, motivational self help books, motivational quotes…but just what is Motivation?
Check out the word ‘Motivation’ in a thesaurus and you will find words like ….incentive, drive, enthusiasm, driving force, inspiration…….in other words something that gets us moving and creating Actions.
What’s your motivation?
What’s your motivator?
What moves you to Action?
We all have one or more motivators. Think about a time that you had to get something done…work project.. family project... fitness for personal health.
What was in your thoughts that moved you to Action.
Could those thoughts motivate you again?
Whatever your motivator one thing is essential and that is a Desire. A desire that is hooked to something you value in life; or something you fear in life; a desire strong enough to move you to Action.

Thanks! One thing I realize after reading this is I didn't think enough about Motivation or what motivated me to do a certain thing.....next time I am procrastinating I'll think back on past motivations and draw from that :-)
