What Keeps You Going?
Motivation is something that comes and goes even for the most ethereal and productive people in the world. Some days it feels like riding a cloud and shooting thunders of energy, while other days the mind deliberately wanders with no intent to do what needs to be done. Sometimes getting out of that slump feels like climbing out of a 10-meter hole.
So how does one get out? It’s never easy, and everyone has different methods. What works for one person may not work for another, but it’s always worth trying. Here are three perspectives that often help.
It helps to first think about the why. Why take on a difficult course that gives such a headache? Why go on a walk when there’s a bucket load of work waiting?
More often than not, the answer is simple: because it will be beneficial for the future self. Motivation grows when thinking about how good it feels once the task is done. The same goes for exercise—before and during a workout, the body may resist, but afterwards, there’s an undeniable boost of energy.
As an added motivator, protein energy balls have become a favorite snack. Made with oats, nut butters, and delicious toppings, they’re a great way to use up pantry staples and provide the perfect pre-workout or afternoon pick-me-up.
👉 Pro tip: mornings can also be supercharged with Lumos Glasses. Like a shot of sunlight for the brain, they’re designed to boost energy and help people feel awake, naturally.
Another powerful motivator is thinking about the consequences. For those with a strong sense of responsibility, the thought of disappointing others—or even themselves—can be enough to get moving.
Of course, perfection isn’t possible, but aiming for balance is. In the end, the one constant companion in life is the self. That means self-love is essential, but so is avoiding overindulgence. Striking this balance creates a sustainable source of motivation.
“If you don’t have the power to control something – don’t fret about it.”
Finally, motivation often comes from focusing on what can be controlled. Some people, for example, get a surge of energy when the sun is shining brightly. While no one can command the weather, they can choose to make the most of sunny days and find other ways to lift their mood when it’s cloudy.
In the end, life is a mix of ups and downs, and learning to embrace both is essential. Thinking about the why, considering the consequences, and focusing on what’s within reach are powerful ways to keep moving forward.
🌞 And for those who want to take control of their energy—rain or shine—Lumos Glasses offer the brightness of natural sunlight in everyday routines. A small change that makes staying motivated and focused a little easier.
