Hi, there! Sarah here!\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a human being and not a robot, sometimes you just don\u2019t \u201cfeel like it\u201d.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

That \u201cit\u201d could be many things!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Getting your workout in, cooking dinner, doing the dishes, calling your sister, finishing that report, or even getting out and being social.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry – it\u2019s completely normal to not feel motivated sometimes<\/p>\n

And maybe you even see your child lacking motivation from time to time? I mean, they\u2019re human, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s your job to motivate them?\u00a0<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t imagine how difficult that must be sometimes – we have a hard time just motivating ourselves<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Hopefully these will help a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the days that you need a little something extra, here are a few things that help me to \u201cjust do it\u201d even when I don\u2019t feel like it:\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 1.Take a minute to think about your WHY<\/b> – your goals, values, and dreams, why you need to do the thing in the first place and how awesome you\u2019ll feel after. You can even take 2 minutes and write down your top 3 reasons for doing this\n<\/li>\n
  2. 2.Jump up and down and yell<\/b> – yeah yeah yeah!! Let\u2019s do this!!! (or whatever matra might get you pumped up) (for real, it helps!)\n<\/li>\n
  3. 3.Listen to a song<\/b> that energizes you (my favorite is \u201cCome Alive\u201d from my favorite movie, The Greatest Showman)\n<\/li>\n
  4. 4.Watch this video:<\/b> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5aPntFAyRts<\/span><\/a> or find a different one that inspires you and save it as a bookmark\n<\/li>\n
  5. 5.Countdown slowly from 5<\/b>, and once you get to 0 you just get up and start it, no negotiations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Feel free to share some of these with your kiddo as another \u201ctool in their toolbox\u201d of life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Can you think of a time when your child needed some extra motivation?\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \nOr maybe a recurring thing they need to be motivated to do?\u00a0<\/p>\n

    I\u2019d love to hear about it and any strategy they\/you have to overcome it!\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Just reply to this email and let me know what pops in your head!<\/p>\n

    Rooting for you!<\/p>\n
