How do you inspire yourself, when feeling uninspired?

—————

I’ts near impossible to keep your energy up to 1000% all the time. There are mornings or days where I just don’t feel like working. Ive come to realize that should be okay - i need that time. But the guilt outweighs that unmotivated time I gave to myself.

So how do we do it? Well, I don’t have the answer. But ill share some things that help me. I only consume content that is uplifting, educational, positive, or motivational. Ive talked about this in a previous blog about negativity, this is the opposite. Surround yourself with conversations, people, content that lifts you up and doesnt bring you down.

For even further example - This weekend I am incredibly unmotivated. I don’t know why because I have a lot of free time to work in a lot of different capacities. But I woke up dragging my feet again. Popped on Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, you name it. Nothing that triggered the motivation.

Except one thing. I saw on a friends IG story he was “multitasking” as it captioned below to then pan over to his dual screens - one on the left was black and blurry but the one on the right was what looked like an early 2000s youtube and alls i read in the background was “leadership”.

So turned on my tv, went on youtube, typed leadership, and that same video popped up. It was only 18 minutes long. Had a cup of coffee while drinking and watching that TedTalk video.

Here I am typing this blog and ready to conquer the world. THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

You can surround yourself with forces that influence in the best way possible.
