Human life is never moving consistently. There will be times when you are happy and there are times when you are flung to the depths of sadness. At times, you may feel like the monarch of the world, and at other times, its like nothing is going according to plan.

It is very important to remain motivated when life is just the way you want it and good things are coming your way. However, at times when your personal world is topsy-turvy, you do tend to get de-motivated. It's in your best interest to fight this lack of motivation and spring back into life with a bounce.

Why Do People Feel Un-motivated

There can be many reasons why you would begin to feel lack of motivation. Some of these are mentioned below.

- Lack faith in your own abilities. 
- Scared of trying anything new because of past failures. 
- Low self esteem activities. 
- Paying too much attention to what they have to say. 
- You keep procrastinating the work and do not achieve any results. 
- There aren't enough incentives to excite you. 
- Lack of time to do something.

Why De-motivation is Harmful

Un-motivation is never a good thing. Not only does it prevent you from completing the task at hand, but also stops you from achieving great things in your life. De-motivation can throw you into the quick sand of self pity and despair, which will only make you more miserable and less productive.

Apart from affecting your life personally, it can also affect your job and the people around you. Your performance at work can suffer and people around you might not be able to cope with this negativity and de-motivation that you are exhibiting.

Finding That Motivation Again

In order to be motivated towards a certain task, evaluate your reasons for doing it. For instance, you've been trying to lose weight for a while and you seemed to have reached a plateau. Sit back and think why it is important for you to lose weight.

How will that make you feel? What will it help you achieve? Make a list of these reasons on a piece of paper and keep it in front of you. Next time when you are feeling down without motivation, you can look at these reasons, and feel all charged up.
