What if you are just not in the mood to do anything?

Ever had that feeling when you wake up in the morning and you are just not in the mood to do anything? You know you HAVE to get out of bed, but you just don't feel like it. You have absolute no motivation to complete your daily tasks, and you snooze that alarm five times before finally getting up reluctantly.

Sometimes we are just not motivated to do anything.  Most of us have so many responsibilities and duties at work and at home that we don't know where to start, so we often use the art of procrastination.  

We postpone things to a time when we are not so overloaded, and then, if things get too much to handle (because you can't postpone something indefinitely) we become demotivated.   

Face it...we all just need a break sometimes, and we can not keep our positive motivation constant all the time.  

Other times, we have so many great ideas and visions but we simply can not get started because we lack the energy or we lack the motivation. 

What to do if you are not motivated?

To succeed at anything in life, you need motivation and perseverance.  One of the best motivational quotes I have ever read was this:  

When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful -Eric Thomas 

They even explained this quote beautifully:

Take a bucket of water and put your head in the bucket of water, for exactly one minute.  After you are out of breath, you still need to keep you head in the bucket under the water.  

Your head will be filled with only one thought.  "Air".  The desire to breath will overcome all other desires.  Seconds later, breathing will be the only thought in your mind. You will have this burning desire to fill your lungs with air.

You will not even think about all the other things you have to do during the day...... your only thought will be to get some fresh air into your lungs. 

Once you take that first breath of fresh air, you will know what desire feels like!

If you have a goal in life and it feels as if things are not working out, go put your head in a bucket of water so you can get that desire back!

If your goal is really a desire, then all those feelings will come back to you and you will make a success in whatever you achieve to do.  

Do not procrastinate.  To postpone something doesn't make it go away.  You still have to do what you have to do...

It just comes naturally too me! LOL

Under no circumstances do you have to feel alone in this @stardust I am brilliant at procrastinating!

I love to procrastinate. For me it's all about figuring out which things I can procrastinate on. Like this comment. I'll finish it later. Maybe.
