Ruminating on our problems and feelings scratches at our emotional scabs and causes four primary psychological wounds: it intensifies our sadness and allows it to persist for far longer than it might have otherwise; likewise, it intensifies and prolongs our anger; it hogs substantial amounts of emotional and intellectual resources, inhibiting motivation, initiative, and our ability to focus and think productively; and our need to discuss the same events or feelings repeatedly for weeks, months, and sometimes years on end taxes the patience and compassion of our social support systems and puts our relationships at risk.
Action isn’t just the effect of motivation; it’s also the cause of it.

Die Disziplinargesellschaft ist eine Gesellschaft der Negativität. Sie wird bestimmt von der Negativität des Verbots. Das negative Modalverb, das sie beherrscht, ist Nicht-Dürfen. Auch dem Sollen haftet eine Negativität, die des Zwangs, an. Die Leistungsgesellschaft entledigt sich im mer mehr der Negativität. Gerade die zuneh mende Deregulierung schafft sie ab. Das entgrenzte Können ist das positive Modalverb der Leistungsgesellschaft. Sein Kollektivplural der Affirmation Yes, we can bringt gerade den Positivitätscharakter der Leistungsgesellschaft zum Ausdruck. An die Stelle von Verbot, Gebot oder Gesetz treten Projekt, Initiative und Motivation. Die Disziplinargesellschaft ist noch vom Nein beherrscht. Ihre Negativität erzeugt Verrückte und Verbrecher. Die Leistungsgesellschaft bringt dagegen Depressive und Versager hervor.“
One Is Not Born A Woman (1980)
There is no possible fight for someone deprived of an identity, no internal motivation for fighting, since, although I can fight only with others, first I fight for myself.
" If you want to accomplish something but don’t feel motivated or inspired, then you assume you’re just screwed. There’s nothing you can do about it. It’s not until a major emotional life event occurs that you can generate enough motivation to actually get off the couch and do something. "

If you lack the motivation to make an important change in your life, do something—anything, really—and then harness the reaction to that action as a way to begin motivating yourself.
