start with just one simple thing.\nthen build from there.\ndon't look at the tasks in life as 1 giant thing, look at it in fragments. accomplish one fragment and then accomplish the next one.\nthe hardest part of running a race is putting on your shoes.

For me motivation just wasn't the key.  I used to be 100 pounds overweight and I never exercised.  No way was I motivated to start.  I had to look at it differently, like a job or a chore, and just set a time that I was going to do it and then get up and DO IT, no excuses, no matter what.  Believe it or not, it works.  (heck, I did lots of other things that I don't want to do because I have to do them, why not add exercise to the list) A year and a half later, I LOVE exercising.  I look forward to it and feel like a slug if I don't do it.  It's just habit now, part of my day that I enjoy.  There just was no possible way that I was going to feel motivated to exercise almost every day when I had been sedentary for so long, but making it part of my routine really did the trick for me.

I don't think that your problem is terribly uncommon.\n\nYou might try discussing this with your doctor, who might be able to refer you to a specialist.  Some people might just attribute this to being unmotivated or even lazy, but it might simply be a result of a neurological or chemical imbalance that could easily be treated with medication.  \n\nIt would be a shame if your "motivation" and focus problems could be quickly solved with a prescription.  Maybe this won't solve your problem, but it would be a good first step in ruling out possible causes.  Good luck to you.

It is not possible to make the same motivation last through the whole process.  you need to find a motivating factor and find differant ways to be reminded of that.

Set an example by staying positive. Try to see positives in every negative situation and make best use of it. Always exhibit confidence and achieve your goals. That will prompt those negative slackers to dust off the cobwebs and start looking at life in a more positive way!

Do a little bit each day instead of saving it all for the end.  Try to set a goal and stick to it. But you still need the will power to keep from blowing it off.

Motivation and Consistency are key. Just keep telling yourself that's the only way to achieve your goal, and you will naturally be more motivated.

You need a committed mindset to maintain down the path to your goal.  And the only way to stay committed is to keep yourself motivated.\n\nOne thing I suggest to do is study old and more recent pictures of yourself.  See how you look in them and ask yourself if you want to continue looking that way.  It may sound odd but it definitley did the trick for me.  It motivated me to look at my diet and make some very significant lifestyle changes.  I also started working out 3-5 days a week.    \n\nThe key is to stay motivated.  The lifestyle changes should come naturally once you maintain that.  Good Luck.

take one little step at a time...it all depends how hard it really is...like can you not even motivate yourself to get out of bed?? if so..just taking a shower and getting dressed is like taking leaps and bounds...exercising..i'd say walk down the street or something and think about goals you'd like to accomplish with exercise. taking little steps at first lets u know you can do it and helps with the actual "getting up and doing it"

Think about the things you enjoy...things you actually like to do.  Jot them down if you can.  \n\nIf the majority of those things were passive or sedentary activities (tv watching, eating, napping, going to the movies, etc), you've got a simple problem of attitude adjustment.  The good news is that this is all in your mind, so you (and you alone) have the power to change it.\n\nThink about some activities that are not passive now.  Jot down some things that you might actually enjoy doing with your body but never tried before.  Think of things that are energetic that you do like--add them to your list.  Before you know it, I'm sure you will have some good ideas and feel like "going out and doing some of these things."  Some things from my list were:  take a beginning swing dance class, take a bicycle ride along the lake, learn how to ice skate, learn how to properly use weights from a friend, go to a new neighborhood and take a walk (with a friend).\n\nA lot of people say, well, if you can commit 30 minutes a day to moderate exercise, you can manage/lose unwanted fat.  I also think that those 30 minutes should be enjoyable.  Feel that you are devoting completely to yourself because you are really worth it!  Your stress level will go down!  You will feel a certain euphoria after your time exercising.  It's not about joining a gym and hating it.  It's not about feeling guilty for not doing it.  It's enjoying the body that you have today no matter what it looks like!  Move what nature gave you and find what you enjoy in this life because it's too short!

Make a list of things you want to achieve, set date/goals for them. Hold yourself accountable. \n\nAnd spend less time on the Internet. ;-)\n\nImran

Lets just say that you have overcome half of the problem -at least you realize that you are always late.\n\nNow there are two ways to do this:\n\n1. There has to be one or two thing that you are always on time for, there has to be something that you value in your life. Perhaps lets just take a look at what do you do that delays you, other than what needs to be done. If you can isolate those interests, may be then try to see if there is any career and growth possiblities in those activities? I assure you if you are able to find what you love doing and if it is rewarding too, you will never be late or feel bad about yourself.\n\n2. You need to have a disciplinarian in your life, get an instructor, get someone who matters to you and try to improve these habits. Furthermore, you have to either yourself or with the help of friend -start to exercise, this way your body will remain agile and your mind will be fresh to keep you going.\n\nThese will ultimately lead you decide your motivational factors -it is just not possible that you do not feel motivated at all. The problem will be resolved when you have your motivations and your targets in place.\n\nAs a human being we all have a mechanism of self satisfaction and achievement. We need to feel good about something and you need to see whether this feeling is when you are late or when you are in time.

sometimes we don't feel motivated but later we regret it. forget about motivation. read the text and underline only the important things. then read it again but just the underlined bits. don't underline 2 much. then close the book and do something else for 10-15 min. read the underlined again. try to review in your head the whole thing. reconstruct the whole matter in your head. you can also speak it out loud if you wish. look for more information on the same subject or on parts of it which are not completely clear on the net or elsewhere. read the underlined again.

start by writting everything down. force yourself to get up early. exercise to be more energetic.\nstart doing things by program, and you will be surprized of how many things you can do efficiently. that will bring you pleasure and ths more will to be organized.

Are you sure you can motivate others?\n\nIf you believe this, then perhaps you could find someone who can do the same for you.\n\nBut I am sceptical that someone who cannot motivate themselves could really motivate others.\n\nPerhaps you could ask yourself what is your motivation for attempting to motivate yourself. Furthermore you could ask yourself what is your motivation for "losing motivation", once you have it.
