You always know you best. Please take with you from this video what resonates and leave what doesn’t. Some of what I share won't be appropriate for your situation.

Wow. I had never thought of benefiting from boredom. You're so right. Instead of instantly turning to TV, reading, or (ahem) social media or something, I'll leave myself a few minutes to be bored. I can very much imagine feeling motivated to DO something. Thank you.

michelle, another banger! i so wish you were in my life BEFORE i retired. that said, my young adult children benefit from the information you give me. i share your ideas with them--i ALWAYS credit you; & i often times share your videos with them.

you are SO FAR ahead of the game.

I SOOOO need this rn!!! I recently achieved a significant life goal. I’ve noticed that I’m struggling to find motivation now that there’s no HUGE goal to work towards.

Changing a task from a “should” into a choice ❤ that is so empowering!

[eburawka]

The 'should' part is sooo me! I recently quit my job and now have much free time. But I don't really want to do anything I was planning to do during my time off, because now it feels like 'should'! Like if I am not busy with external tasks, I HAVE to keep myself busy by myself??
Definitely need to ingrain the thought that it is up to my own choice.

I really love the idea of changing "have to"s into "choose to"s. Not only does this help with motivation, but on those days when not everything can get done, it helps remove the guilt that sometimes comes with prioritizing tasks. Plus it gives clarity--why am I even doing this? Is it going to truly benefit me? Another great video, Michelle!

[allyjoyce]

Another super helpful video!! Thank you Michelle! Have a nice Wednesday! ☀️💛

Practicing a trait hits home for me. Thanks.

[butterflyjones]

I wish I could let myself be bored but I just end up falling asleep 😭
I’ll try some of the other techniques though!

[treesoul]

Thank you, very helpful! these tips kept getting better and better as the list went along :) I love body doubling too. Little challenges during lives. One guitar guy I follow sometimes does pushups with the chat lol it’s great. & the idea of writing a letter to the resistant Inside Out character in our brains that was adorable. 💖

Thanks again have a great day!

I call it productive procrastination haha, whenever I have a big task that needs doing I suddenly have motivation to clean, do laundry, cook a meal. However, it is important to make them limited tasks, if you say 'clean the house' that has no end point! but once you've achieved a few tasks in the morning you usually feel more capable and more interested in completing the procrastinated task, too.

[Varykino]

Literally, for the last hour I have been stalling about getting the laundry out of the dryer that's downstairs. An entire hour. And then your video popped up. OMG! Lol!

[Malekfahad]

Hey muchelleb, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?

[SummerDAndrews]

I've just seen this and I have begun to feel unmotivated with my a levels in which they finish in 3 weeks!!! YOUR. A. LIFESAVER.

My friend died. I could really use a video on how to keep moving forward toward your goals through depression if you’ve ever experienced it 😢
