10 Reasons Why You're Demotivated and How to Overcome It

main components of habit formation: • A Cue: It causes your brain to begin a behavior. It is a bit of information that predicts a reward. • A Craving: It is the motivation behind every habit. Without a desire, we don't have a reason to act. • A Response: This is the very habit you perform; it can take the form of a thought or an action. • A Reward: The end goal of every habit.

How habits work

Atomic habit

Running is pointless if you walk slower afterward.

When I sprint, more often then not I burn myself out and end up walking slower than I was before I started running or I have to stop to catch my breath.

It's Not A Sprint

This same thought can be applied to habits and productivity, like when we get really excited about a new diet or routine or resolution, but after a couple weeks it's not as exciting and we slow down and let life keep going or worse: we regress.

Gaining Momentum

A great journey begins with a single step

Our life isn't a sprint, and neither are our lifestyle choices and habits. It's a marathon, and we have to be in it for the long run, one step at a time. By applying principles like "1% better every day" we can make major lifestyle changes that don't feel like major lifestyle changes, it just feels natural. One step at a time.

Life's A Marathon

I came up with that first quote a while back but I had trouble putting the concept behind it into words until now.

Keeping momentum

It’s important to have a plan of action but even more important is Staying on Purpose and following through with what you set out to accomplish.  So many of us have big dreams and great ideas, but we don’t take action or we start to take action and then fall off track; our WHY is not big enough. The power to do what needs to be done getting up early, staying up late, and working from the heart comes from knowing your purpose and your reasons for doing what you do. When you are Staying on Purpose, your WHY is so strong and your HOW falls into place.

Make Your Goals Top Priority

In a world where getting distracted is so easy. I wanted to share this advice especially with it being a new year. Stay on your purpose. 

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan but also believe.” Last week you learned how to create a Game Plan.  You created a daily to-do list which will move you farther and faster towards your goals.  It’s important to have a plan of action but even more…

Lesson 7: Staying On Purpose

Is what you want to do a must? or is it a should? Ask yourself if the thing you want to accomplish seems as an obligation o as a pleasure to do.

Should vs. Must

Why do we want to interact with the goal so much?Why don't we focus on interacting with the process?

Interact With the Actionable Steps to Change Your Life, Not With the Goal Itself

If you wake up one day without wanting to go to the gym, trying to rationalise that decision, don't do it before, do it after you work out.

How to change your life in a year

Apply Quality Peer Reviewed Science To Your Day to Day Life.By - Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman.Recommendations:<ul><li>Do your best to do these every day.</li><li>Do not to miss more than one day in a week.</li><li>You will feel the benefits immediately.</li></ul>

Maximizing Productivity

To know the average wake up time, to find your Temperature Minimum time.Temperature Minimum:<ul><li>The time when your body temperature is lowest.</li><li>Happens 2 hours before your average wake up time.</li><li>Helps shift your body clock, circadian wake up and sleep cycles, eating cycles etc.</li></ul>

1. Note your wake-up time every day

Forward Ambulation is another word to move forward - like taking a walk, biking or running! Forward Motion generates<ul><li>Optic Flow - visual images that pass by us</li><li>Auditory Flow - Sounds pass by us</li></ul>This ritualistic forward movement in turn quiets or reduces the amount of neural activity in Amygdala (part of the brain).Amygdala has a role in regulating – anxiety, fear, threat detection etc. So the Forward Ambulation leads to lowering activity in the Amygdala, and thereby reducing the levels of anxiety.

2. Get into Forward Ambulation

This is vital for mental and physical health. <ul><li>Stimulate those neurons in the eye and convey to the brain that it is day time, and to be Alert! </li><li>It sets in motion, numerous biological cascades within every cell and organs of our body.</li><li>This gives a healthy bump in a hormone called as Cortisol. Cortisol comes from Amygdala that promotes wakefulness and healthy immune system. It happens once in 24 hours. </li><li>We can time Cortisol bump, based on when we view bright sunlight. It is not about exposure of skin to sunlight, but the exposure of our eyes, our neural retinas, to light. </li></ul>

3. Get Sunlight into your Eyes, early in the day

Drink adequate water. Early in the day.With a little bit of sea salt is good, since Neurons need ionic flow. Preferably not cold water.

4. Hydration is Essential for Mental Performance

Adenosine build up is one of the key factors that induces a sense of sleepiness . The longer we are awake, Adenosine builds-up and accumulates. When we wake up in the morning, Adenosine levels are very low.Caffeine is an Adenosine blocker. So delaying caffeine is to maintain adequate levels of Adenosine so it does not lead to a n eventual crash from caffeine. Lower levels of Adenosine leads to increased levels of sleepiness.

5. Delay Caffeine intake to 90-120 minutes after waking up

Primary objective early in the day is to get into a mode of focus and alertness, so we can get work done. This can be achieved by fasting.Fasting works to create a heightened state of alertness and a calm brain state. Fasting increases levels of Adrenaline, also referred by Epinephrine in brain and body. When our levels of Adrenaline and Epinephrine are increased, we can learn better, focus better. YHigh levels of Adrenaline may feel like stress and panic. But in its optimal range, Adrenaline provides a heightened sense of focus and improved ability to process and retain information.

6. Fasting state

In order to optimize cardio vascular and brain health of the body, exercise atleast 5 days per week. Maintaining muscular and bone health helps both muscles and brain. Physical Exercise improves Brain Health.

7. Physical Exercise

Get additional rest, One day per week.Do nothing in a structured way. If possible! Bonus Tip:If you happen to stay up late, it is still best to get up at your regular wake up time.

8. Weekend Drift

Commonly known routine activities, but backed by neuro science reasoning! Will make you think twice, especially if you have been wanting to add one of those into your daily habits!

5 Things You Need to Master to Become a Successful Entrepreneur

2021 is almost over, as we head towards 2022. I want you all to focus on these key areas in 2022 that are (Yourself, Passive Income, Mental Health, and Health) lists are short in this article. And, I truly believe that this shortlist will be a guiding light towards a new you.

Whether, learning through courses or books, or mentorship, It not only compounds together, and brings the best return in the future. You can use it anytime, you want as it stays always at your disposal to be used anywhere you need.

Invest in yourself -

Until and unless if you don't have passive income. You will have to work till your last breath. When you earn money while you sleep is the beauty of passive income. You can make passive income, by investing in Stocks, doing Affiliate Marketing, selling courses, or selling eBooks. Or it could be Real estate. And the list goes on.

Learned, how passive income works

There is one beautiful line from a dying Entrepreneur " I have money, cars, and private planes and I can do and go anywhere I want. But, my health is not with me anymore " We neglect our health, and Then, one day it asked for a return through illness. So, invest in your health learn about nutrition, go to the gym, exercise regularly. So, that is after 20 years or 30 years from today. When your health asked for a return it should be good health.

Invest in your health and Mental Health

After one year spent on trying improve myself here's what I've learnt.

Toxic Self Help 

1. I was an ignorant teenager and was tierd of being clueless. When i try to remember what I did or try to think of a reason to why I did what I did there's literally nothing that comes to mind i haven't gave anything a single thought just Slept thru my teen years.2. I got tierd of being that kid who just needed attention and validation of others all the time. That was the only thing I was working on in my teen years. I had many flaws bad skin , bad hair , bad habits [pmo] and people never failed to make sure I knew it. Chicks falked me so often that stuff really scared me. The dissatisfaction

Reasons

1. The dopamine hit after each self help product consumed got me Hooked the false sense of Achievement the feeling that Imactually moving forward and Progressing was enough to keep going2.After the consumption you feel like you're above than everybody else that people are wasting time trying to live a better life now than planning their future theyre stupid this content gave me god complex3. Self help content made me certain that if I waited long enough and keep on going my miserable life might just turn around4. Writing down goals making lists setting reminders planning days instead of Action

Begining

Felt great throughout the year being high on self help content but havent accomplished anything yet More consumption than taking action and actually doing anything Just making list and calling it a day God complex is killing me.Dissatisfaction of my past situation made me a consumer of self help content my current situation is no different only thing I have this time is the false hope at the back of my head that i can and eventually will do it this is because of the illusion of Progress If you pause for a second and look around youll realise nothing has changed.Artificial Motivation is useless

1 Year Experience

<ol><li>Action - this is the answer to all your problems and the trick to progress yes this is as complex as simple it may sound you have to Act on things instead of reading a book about it or watching a video on the topic</li><li>Minimise being the consumer.</li><li>There will always be struggle instead of running face it only then you will actually progress in any field</li><li>Hustle or working hard only work if you are working on the right thing hustle is not always the answer sometimes you need to analyse your strategy</li><li>Be practical in your approach to anything don't be too optimistic or pessimistic</li></ol>

Solution 

6. seek progress not perfection7. It will try to convince you that your are the next Elon musk but if you are not really competent than this Artificial Motivation & false hope is useless8. Every time you fail a certain task you'll feel stressed which is bad if you wanna max out your potential so be on the lookout if self help is holding you back.

Solution

The toxic world of self help: a world surrounded by toxic positivity, self help addiction, fake gurus, and hustle culture. It’s the side of ‘self-development’ that is often overlooked by those on the outside, and even those who are avid consumers of the industry. In this video we take a dive into the dark side of self-help, and the traps that may lie in wait for those who enter this world. ****** 👇 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 // 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐀 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧! ► https://www.patreon.com/jamesvj 💻𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 + 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 (𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞) ► https://skillshare.eqcm.net/Kr3Yn 📈𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝟐 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐄𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭 $𝟏𝟎𝟎 (𝐔𝐒): ► https://act.webull.com/kol-us/share.html?hl=en&inviteCode=aUn469wnhfEA 📹𝗠𝘆 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: https://bit.ly/2OfHCTO 📚 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐈 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝: https://bit.ly/33pDvw7 🎶 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐝: Epidemic Sounds - https://bit.ly/2SblgUB Artlist - https://bit.ly/2IzPbVo 📸 Instagram: james.v.j // https://bit.ly/2TOaBBC 🐦 Twitter: @jamesvjani // https://bit.ly/2zYPrsT ****** DISCLAIMER This video is primarily based on my own experience in the self help industry, and therefore I want to make it clear that I am coming from a biased perspective throughout this video. HOW IT BEGINS Self development has a nice lure to it. It’s this world of people trying to improve themselves, take control over their lives and decisions, and live a better ‘fulfilling’ life. Or at least, it is presented to you this way. Most people come to the self-help world from a dark place, looking for some sort of ‘hope’ or ‘way out’ – and I was no exception to this. It was this desire to change my life situation that brought me to the world of self-help. SELF HELP ADDICTION Addiction to self help content is the first trap to often ensnare people. When you consume self help content you will often gain a surge in motivation. This motivation will urge you to purchase the next self help book, watch the next self help video, attend the next self help seminar from your favourite guru, etc etc. But this is problematic. This feeling of motivation and fulfilment is an illusion – an illusion of progress. Because in reality you haven’t made any progress, you have only gotten better at convincing yourself that you have. THE BUSINESS OF SELF HELP The industry of self-development is estimated to be worth around $13 billion dollars by 2022. The selling of books, online programs, seminars, coaching, podcasts, live speaking events, are some of the main mediums used to generate income from self-development. But this business knows how addicting this content can be. And your favourite gurus like Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Tai Lopez know (even if they won’t admit it) that you are more profitable to them unhappy and discontent than you are happy and fulfilled. TOXIC POSITIVITY The self help world can surround you with positive messages. Overwhelming you with ideas like “positive vibrations” in order to get you feeling good the more you consume. But nobody can feel good forever, life will always have ups and downs. Self-help can often make yo feel as though negative thoughts like quitting are wrong. And this brings us to the next problem: toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is about making you feel bad for not feeling great all the time, and the self help industry can absolutely put you in a position to feel like this. HUSTLE CULTURE Finally, we come to hustle culture. In this new world of Instagram entrepreneurs, humble bragging, and fake gurus, this concept of ‘hustling’ and working hard every hour of the day has become romanticised. There are a few issues with this. Often times those that brag about ‘hustling’ are actually procrastinating and achieving nothing. Then there are those who actually work every hour of the day, thinking that this is what encapsulated what it means to be successful – it doesn’t. Working hard at the RIGHT thing, is what makes the odds of success higher. And the best way to know if you are working hard at the right thing is to take a step back from your ‘hustling’ and reflect on the strategy you are using. ****** All materials in these videos are used for educational purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
