How can I get motivation ?

There are two kind of things you can do, the things you enjoy, and the things that you could enjoy.

The things you could enjoy are only obtained through conditioning. I used to be anti-exercise. I got lazy, always made an excuse. But when I pushed myself, when I "Conditioned" myself, I began enjoying it.

To condition yourself to do things, is to do things regardless of how you feel.

If you've always had this desire to read a book, but you never read it because you lack motivation, you read it anyway and condition yourself to enjoy it.

Once you pass the threshold of unmotivated, and condition yourself to do things, you'll continue doing them because you genuinely enjoy them.

But first you have to try new things, don't rely on motivation only, you also have free will, so use it, do things and condition yourself to do more, therefore, you'll get motivated as a result.

 

Perfect answer!

 

Totally agree. Motivation is a fickle mistress but stay consistent with something long enough & it starts feeling weird if you don't do it.
