You need to pay attention to what actually gets you taking action, not what you think will make you take action. Do you really get up and do things after watching an inspiring warm and fuzzy motivation video, lying in bed or sitting on a toilet? You might want positive encouragement to move you. But does it? Or is it when you've been called out and given a tough but firm reality check? Maybe it's a blend of both. Maybe it's competition or not being left behind or proving someone wrong. Maybe it's someone actively guiding and stretching you to your potential. Figure out what moves the needle for you in each area of your life and start designing strategies that incorporate these triggers when need to take action. I've coached hundreds of people and the most effective triggers vary dramatically from person to person. It's like your fingerprint copying others will often be ineffective. It's context and mental state dependent too, but the awareness has the power to dramatically change your life.
