Feeling Unmotivated? Here’s How to Plug Back In.

Do you live in Fort Wayne and struggle with work motivation? It happens to everyone! But don’t worry, there are ways to overcome that slump and regain control. Here are some tips to stay empowered:

Detach—
Being unhappy at work can cloud your decision-making and make you reactive. Take a step back from work to reset your routine. Meditation, exercise, and reflection can help boost your focus and resilience.

Practice empathy—
Self-compassion is critical for re-engagement. Remind yourself that your thoughts, feelings, and values matter, and resist the impulse to withdraw from your manager and colleagues. Look for ways to deepen relationships and help people meet their goals.

Take action—
Start small. When you make progress on even minor, mundane tasks, your mood improves—as do the chances that you’ll be able to accomplish bigger goals. Outside activities can give you a sense of empowerment and re-connection that carries over to your work.
