THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BEING DEMOTIVATED

Introduction

If you're feeling demotivated, it might be time to get some motivation back in your life. But how do you do that? Here are some tips:

Being demotivated can be a constant battle.

Being demotivated can be a constant battle. It's important to know how to deal with it, and not let it get you down.

It's normal for people to experience periods of being demotivated, especially when they're trying something new or difficult. Sometimes you need more motivation than others do in order to succeed at something—but this doesn't mean there isn't hope for you! Just remember: no one ever achieved greatness without first reaching their lowest point in life; if anything, this is where the journey begins!

You may have tried the "just get through it" approach, but it doesn't work.

The most common problem with this strategy is that it makes you feel like you're giving up on yourself and your goals. When we feel like we need to keep moving forward for our own sake, we often give up on other people—and themselves—as well. It's not surprising then that some people who try this approach find themselves feeling guilty or resentful of others when they don't see any progress in their lives or careers. If your motivation is based on external factors like peer pressure or an external reward (like money), these kinds of feelings will only make things worse by making them more difficult for the person who has them

You can't stay motivated if you don't know why you should be motivated in the first place.

Motivation is a mental state that drives you to take action. It can be applied to anything from the desire to learn new skills, to the need to help others. Motivation is not the same as inspiration, although they may sound similar. Inspiration is something you feel inside yourself and motivation comes from outside sources like rewards or punishment—the carrot and stick approach!

Motivation doesn't just come easily; it takes work on your part. You need to know what motivates you so that when things get tough, instead of quitting before even trying (which would undermine all those hours spent learning), we stay motivated by reminding ourselves why we started in the first place

Motivation is like a muscle. It needs to be exercised regularly to grow stronger.

The good news is that you can start exercising your motivation muscle right now by doing the following:

• Write down five things that make you happy or proud about yourself. This could include the fact that you finished your first 5K, or it could be something as simple as having one new pair of shoes in your closet. Whatever it is, write it down and then put them somewhere where they won’t get lost (like on top of your desk). The idea here is not so much about “doing something positive” but rather simply identifying what makes us happy and proud so we have an easier time building up those positive feelings over time.* Read through these items several times a day — especially if there are times when things aren't going well in life; this will help remind us why we started working out our motivation muscle in the first place!

If you're demotivated and want to get back on track, here are some ways to do it

• Have a plan

• Get some support

• Find the right motivation

• Be patient and keep trying

Conclusion

Just as a muscle needs exercise, so does your motivation. If you're demotivated and want to get back on track, here are some ways to do it:

• Self-talk is the first step towards positive thinking. Change what you say about yourself, not who or what you are. You can even make a list of things that motivate you or get in the way of your motivation by writing them down on paper (just don't forget about yourself)!

• Set goals for yourself and keep track of how many times each day or week you try something new because it's hard work; not because it's easy! This will help build confidence in yourself and give credence to those feelings when they come up again later down the line when facing challenges like losing weight after quitting smoking (or whatever).
