First I’m Hot Then I’m Cold

No this is not a post about the weather… though where I live it could apply. This is post about my wavering motivation. Regardless I always want to feel like I’m being productive. I love knowing that I am working on something that brings me joy and to feel like I’m making progress in important areas of my life. There are times when I am so pumped and ready to go, I’m moving too fast or too much even for myself. Then there are other times when I can barely get moving. It’s not that I don’t want to, I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do whatever it is I’ve planned.

Honestly, the only thing I can think of to help my situation is to avoid beating up on myself when I hit my down moments. They happen, it’s just life and everyone gets tired. Logically I know this, but when I’m not working on something I feel like I’m going stir crazy or like I’m losing my edge… which is silly, right? I’m sure we all just need to take a break everyone once in a while so when I’m “cold” perhaps I could just consider it a break and enjoy it, then when the mood hits me, hit the ground running (I totally love that saying).
