I read an article last weekend, it basically really make sense for everyone of us in our life. Hopefully it certainly can helps when you are facing any setbacks in near future.
The Battle of Act:
We hear it almost everyday: Sigh, Sigh, Sigh.
I just can't get myself motivated to..{ lose weight, test my blood sugar,etc}. And we hear an equal number of sighs from diabetes educators who can't get their patients motivated to do right things for their health.
We have a news for you. Motivation is not going to strike you like lighting. And motivation is not something that someone else - nurse, doctor, family member - can bestow or force on you. the whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it! Execise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation and then guess what. After you start doing thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
Motivation is like love and happiness. It's a by-product. When you're actively engaged in doing something, it sneaks up and zaps you when you least expect it.
As Harvard psychologist Jerome Bruner says," You're more likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action." So ACT! Whatever it is you know you should do, DO IT!
