Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Dopamine
reset to day's topic is something we all grapple with
at some point. How to stay motivated when you feel
like you're stuck in a rut. You know that feeling
when your energy levels are lower than a snake's belly
and a snow storm. Yeah, we've all been there. It
(00:22):
happens to the best of us, even those rock stars
who seem to have their lives perfectly figured out. But
here's the thing. Motivation isn't some magical force that just
appears when it wants to. It's something we cultivate, something
we can actively build and maintain. So buckle up because
we're diving deep into actionable strategies that will help you
(00:45):
reclaim your focus, reignite your spark, and smash through those
motivational rode blocks. Firstly, remember that feeling stuck is often
a signal your body and mind are trying to tell
you something. It might be a sign you need a
change of scenery, a break from the routine, or even
a deeper shift in direction. So take a step back, breathe,
(01:10):
and ask yourself what's really going on here? What do
I truly desire. Next, ditch the all or nothing mentality.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you
need to be one hundred percent motivated to even start something.
But guess what. Progress is not always linear. Sometimes it's
(01:32):
a few baby steps forward followed by a stumble or two.
The key is to keep moving, even if it's just
one small step at a time. Celebrate those wins they
add up. Thirdly, break down your big goals into smaller,
more manageable chunks. Ever heard the saying how do you
eat an elephant one bite at a time? It's true.
(01:57):
Overwhelming goals can be paralyzing. By breaking them down into
bite sized pieces, you create a sense of achievement along
the way, which fuels your motivation and keeps you going.
Think about it like this. Imagine climbing Mount Everest. It's daunting, right,
(02:17):
but if you focus on reaching the next ridge, then
the next camp, eventually you reach the summit. Same principle
applies to your goals. Now, let's talk about the power
of surrounding yourself with positive influences. Ever notice how spending
time with certain people energizes you while others drain you.
(02:39):
It's all about energy. Folks seek out those who inspire
and motivate you. Mentors, friends, even online communities, and limit
your exposure to negativity. Remember you're a sponge, absorbing everything
around you. Choose wisely. Last, but not least, don't underestimate
(03:02):
the power of self care. When you're running on empty,
you can't give your best, So make sure you're prioritizing sleep,
healthy eating, exercise, things that recharge your batteries and allow
you to show up fully in all areas of your life.
Think about it like this. You wouldn't put gas in
a car and expect it to run perfectly if the
(03:24):
engine was clogged. You need to take care of the
fundamentals first. Okay, let me paint you a picture. Imagine Sarah,
a talented writer struggling with a huge deadline for her novel.
She feels overwhelmed, uninspired, and procrastinates for days. She surrounded
by distractions, social media emails, that tempting Netflix queue. It's
(03:49):
a vicious cycle. Right then, one day, she decides to
take a break, walks in nature and has a powerful
realization she needs to declutter her mental space. She sets
aside dedicated writing time, eliminates distractions, breaks the novel into
smaller chapters with specific goals, and connects with other writers
(04:11):
for support and inspiration. Guess what, She starts making progress
feeling more confident and motivated every day. She learned that
motivation isn't a constant state. It fluctuates, but by implementing
these strategies she can manage those dips and keep her
creative engine running. So remember, you're not alone in this journey.
(04:35):
We all face periods of low motivation. The key is
to have the tools and mindset to navigate them effectively.
Focus on listening to your inner voice, break down big
goals into smaller steps, cultivate a positive environment, and prioritize
self care. Remember even small actions can lead to significant progress.
(04:58):
Now go out there, reclaim your focus and set those
dopamine levels soaring. Don't forget to share this episode with
someone who needs a motivational boost. You could be the
spark that ignites their fire. Until next time, keep pushing
forward and stay awesome. This podcast is created with the

messages just for you.
