Melanie dives into the different reasons you may be lacking motivation. People often think of themselves as either being a motivated person or not. As if feeling a constant incentive to go after what you want is a skill you need to be born with. However, it’s not so straight forward because there are several factors that influence the way we feel about ourselves and how we feel about making changes. Some points touched on are: Letting other people decide who we are Being out of alignment with ourselves Doing what we don’t like Rationalizing our happiness and stuck states The comfort of familiarity How change has to happen before motivation comes And much more!
