How do you stay motivated?

Kevinb5Think about how the work you need to do now helps out your future self

AbiHLike working out, and starting a business… this is good though thanks!

👏🏻

BiffbarfCall me sexist all you want but I only hear about women having motivation issues. Maybe try being a guy or have kids or something idk

Trumpkin2024Exercise is tough. It's really hard to get started but pretty addictive once you're in it for a while. Having a buddy to workout with or a body image goal to strive for definitely keeps you accountable. Set goals for weights or mile times, or body fat percentage or total body weight goals. I find I'm way more consistent when I'm either working towards a measurable goal or have someone that is relying on me to show up to work out with.

If you smoke weed, stop. I love cannabis but man that shit is a motivation killer like no other.

Kick the social media habit; this includes NS. Don't waste time with TV or being always on your phone.

Improve your mood. Meditation. Yoga. Exercise could help feed motivation into your other goals. Eat clean. Your lack of motivation might be stemming from underlying issues such as depression or maybe you just have adhd (those drugs are fantastic for motivation when taken as prescribed).

If you're trying to start a business that's gonna be tough. You gotta have some sort of passion or drive to get to the finish line there.

AbiHI feel like a lot of times I get really excited for a goal I’ve set for myself and am consistent for about a month, then I just burnout and start on something new.

Has anyone found anything helpful to keep up motivation, or better yet just consistency in working towards goals?

Young_pattyyou’re talking about that movie you were tryna make right?

asparagusHello, I am a dude with motivation issues. My life is easy and I am extremely privileged I have no real drive.

BiffbarfAh, so basically a woman. I'd suggest manning up, or have kids.

asparagusLmao my mom earns twice as much as my dad how about we avoid the stereotypes and actually have a discussion. What does it really mean to “man up” and how does it affect motivation. Human drive isn’t infinite and people burn out for a reason. Telling someone to “just do it” only works for the short term.

Trumpkin2024You're the reason no one uses the NS discord. So annoying all day long Maga notifications

OldManAtABasinRoutine.

Sdot.This. I’m a woman who has started a successful business and has been on a roller-coaster when it comes to consistently working out. Routine is everything. When you have a routine, you will do the things you need to do even on days when you have zero motivation.

oldmanskiMake your goals achievable and realistic. Motivation gets you going, habit keeps you going.

AbiHLove this. What’s your business if you don’t mind me asking?

Boom. I want to frame that last sentence and hang it on my wall

yungonaSeriously couldn’t care less

Sdot.I own a consulting business that provides consulting regarding Alaska alcohol and cannabis laws (for compliance and licensing purposes). I work almost exclusively with law firms, including two local women-run firms who primarily work with smaller businesses and one international firm that exclusively represents large/corporate/nationwide or international businesses. I paused most of my consulting work during the pandemic, as I also oversee three nonprofits. I have resumed speaking at conferences/events and guest lecturing at universities.

I’m also gradually starting a second business that rents vehicles, including suboverland rigs (think modified 4Runners with rooftop tents and other camping/off-road mods). Considering buying an investment property, too.

Anyway, what business are you thinking of starting?

@oldmanski showin’ up with the wisdom, as usual.

Trumpkin2024Lmao your 30 posts today including a screenshot of the post says otherwise Mr pedo

asparagusLiterally the best answer. If you start to do it automatically it means you don’t need motivation or willpower anymore.

SendyMcSendyfaceOne of my exes told me (in a very pretentious manner) that I was destined to kill myself, sooner rather than later

SofaKingSickfine joke but you see way too many "gym guys" who apparently are only doing the "eat lots of protein and carbs" part of the plan for this joke to work

when girls are kinda round they won't try to tell you with a straight face that they're "bulking"

VTshredder69Porn

BiffbarfLmao true for sure. Real talk tho, I've only ever heard women talk about not knowing what they enjoy, or what their passions are, things of that sort. Most every guy I know has a pretty clear image of what they want and what they enjoy.

SendyMcSendyfaceOne of my exes told me (in a very pretentious manner) that I was destined to kill myself, sooner rather than later. Sheer hatred of her psycho ass is what is keeping me going, and every day that I don’t yeet myself into the front end of a PT6 turbine is a small victory. But as far as the capitalism motivation is concerned, idk

AbiHMaybe hang out with different women? Or they don’t want to tell you. Because I know exactly what I want haha

AbiHPeople can the worst. I’m glad she’s an x now. That’s a horrible thing to say.

Heard that’s called f*#% you fuel. Honestly it’s the best motivator.

SendyMcSendyfaceYeah. She's probably right, but I'm gonna keep saying fuck you as long as I can.
