DEMOTIVATED OR UNMOTIVATED: WHAT IS THE RIGHT WORD?
Introduction
Demotivated and unmotivated are often used interchangeably. But are they the same? The answer is no! In this post, we'll explore the difference between these two words and how you can use them correctly in your workday.
Demotivated is a negative word.
Demotivated is a negative word. It means that you are unmotivated and uninspired, but it does not necessarily mean that you are not working hard enough or that you don't care about your job. In fact, if someone were demotivated by their job and still wanted to keep it (or get a better one), they would probably be unmotivated in both senses: uninspired and unmotivated.
The opposite of "demotivated" is "motivated." Motivation refers to the energy or enthusiasm with which we do something; it can also refer to what drives us forward toward our goals!
Unmotivated is a positive word.
Unmotivated is a positive word. It means you have the motivation to do something and are not doing it. For example, if I'm reading my textbook in bed but instead of studying for an exam I am doing laundry or watching TV, then I would say that my motivation is low and unmotivated.
On the other hand, unmotivated means that someone has no motivation at all when they should be doing something else—and this can happen even if they are highly motivated! This is why it's important to distinguish between being uninterested in something (which wouldn't necessarily be bad), versus having no desire whatsoever to do anything with your life right now—or ever again!
What's the difference between demotivated and unmotivated?
The difference between demotivated and unmotivated is that the first one is a negative word, while the second one is positive.
Demotivated means feeling like you don't want to do something.
Unmotivated means not wanting to do anything at all.
Demotivated is not a good word and can be used to motivate.
You can use the word demotivated to motivate.
If you're not motivated, then that means that your job is going nowhere, and you need to figure out why. Maybe you have dead-end jobs or work in an environment where people aren't interested in what they do. Maybe it's time for a change of scenery! If this is the case, then maybe it would be best for all involved if someone took over your duties for now until things get better?
Conclusion
We hope that with these guidelines in mind, you can use this word to motivate your team members and create a positive environment.
