Uninspired : 3 Simple Action Steps To Motivate You

If you're feeling uninspired in an area of your life, i.e. your children, career, relationships, investments, or while working to achieve a significant goal, then this information will help you take action and get started. Here's what to do to do when you feel uninspired about your life...

Stop and take a deep breath and think about what you really want in your life. And ask yourself if you're taking actions to move yourself in that direction? Then make an action plan, first things first, you need to make preparations to get started and move your life forward and that's opposite of what many people do. Right now make a decision that you're going to give your self a break and stop hitting yourself over the head. This means being gentle and kind to yourself even when you are feeling uninspired and unwilling to do the work to move forward. Yes I said be kind to yourself, everyone gets lost some times, what matters is what you choose to do now. It also means allowing yourself to feel your feelings of despair so you can stop wasting your life trying to deny and repress your true feelings. Moving forward means accepting all of yourself, the person who always does their best, the person who can be counted on for making last minuet cupcakes for your child, the one who can choose to take charge of their life right now by taking action steps to move yourself forward, and the person who even when they are unsure moves forward in faith and hope. My point is simple; don't resist your feelings of not wanting to start and feeling uninspired, it only keeps you unmotivated and frozen.

Now that you know you are powerful and acknowledged where you are in your life, your goal is to create new behavioral patters that will change your life circumstances:

1. Take your power back. A huge mistake people make when feeling unmotivated is that we tell ourselves that we are helpless to change our life circumstances and that we are powerless because of a lack of financial resources, education, the size of our hips and thighs, that we are single, the influence of family and friends, or that we have way to many problems and it is all hopeless, the "poor pitiful me syndrome." Every person on this planet has had to face challenges and has overcome obstacles. But your empowerment lies in you recognizing that you have the power and freedom to make choices. You are very powerful and wise; do not underestimate your wisdom. There may be very difficult choices to make like leaving an unsupportive relationship or taking a second job to relive financial strain, but you must realize that you have the freedom and power to make choices, even really hard ones and ones that just down right sink. But realize this, you always have a choice; do not mistake a hard choice with having no options and not being able to make a choice. YOU always have the power to make a choice.

2. Think New Thoughts. Feeling uninspired is a feeling in your mind, which you fuel by your constant self-defeating thoughts and constantly thinking about your problems. The thoughts that you think, for example; if you feel unlovable, it's because you are constantly thinking unlovable thoughts about yourself. If you are feeling like a victim, it's because you are thinking victimizing thoughts, telling yourself "I have no options and life is hard." That's the constant mantra running through your mind, or: "Who cares?"

Right here and now you must stop this self sabotaging habit and turn your thoughts in to thoughts that support you, thought that nourish your soul, your dreams, and your goals.

You are capable of doing anything!

You have the power with in you to overcome any obstacle whether or not you believe in your abilities, make a choice right here and now and tell yourself "I am capable of doing anything!" Say it in your mind constantly, before you go to sleep at night, say it first thing when you wake up and as a constant mantra all day at work or while raising the children at home. Just focus on saying to yourself "I am capable of doing anything!" And notice how you start to feel better and smile again. You deserve to put effort into yourself.

3. Have warm and supportive relationships. If you plan on succeeding, you must fill your life with positive and motivated people. Friendship with people who are extremely motivated with help you stay inspired.

Individuals who feel uninspired tend to gravitate towards one another, they tell themselves how the economy, or the world is unfair. They emotionally suck the life out of each other. Stop this right now; you will stay depressed and uninspired together. Find people who will share your joy, people who applaud your successes and share your vision of hope. When you are happy and successful, they come and celebrate your victories with you, don't you deserve warm and supportive friend and allies.

In closing, if you are feeling motivated and ready to move forward, ask for help. The frustration you are feeling about being uninspired is because you are in a state of inaction. The first step to take is making a choice. Want to go back to college? Call a local community college and make an appointment with an advisor, find out if you qualify for financial aid, talk to them about career options. Remember you do have power to move your life forward; the key to becoming inspired is putting one foot in front of the other and doing it, consistency is the key.

~^~ Today I Take Action ~^~

1. Choose one area of your life that you'd like to change and identify three choices you do have available to you right now. If you can't come up with any, ask a friend for help.

2. Create a new screensaver that says the words "I CAN DO ANYTHING!" across your screen. If you're not sure how to do this, let your first action step be requesting help from someone who knows how.

3. Pick up the phone and schedule lunch, dinner, tea, or a catch-up conversation with a highly motivated friend who will support you in your quest for positive change. Ask him or her for help in creating a simple 5-step action plan.
