Default passion

I motivate myself with something that stirs any kind of passion within me. Ideally that is. Sometimes, the motivation is more painful...like when there is a bill to pay that is just no fun at all, but at least if feels good when it's been done. So when there is no fun involved, at least I can focus on the good feeling that I know is on the other side of the task.

Passion though...is my favorite motivator. Even if it's just a little bit. Gardening usually brings me back around if I'm out of sorts. I hear that nature absorbs negativity. Walking around my neighborhood and breathing with intention to clear myself is effective as well. Hey, maybe oxygen is the real motivator in some of these, now that I think of it. Much more difficult to stay upbeat and motivated while shallow breathing at ones computer.

So oxygen, and passion. Whatever feeds passion seems to build creativity and motivation is a byproduct of this.

blessings,

Pam
