How do you motivate yourself during your lowest of lows, and reignite that spark that usually inspires you to succeed, not just in pickup, but in life?

Your alarm clock goes off for school. 6:00am. Your bed covers are wrapped around you forming a cocoon of warmth. Why get up? Why do anything? "I feel sick, drowsy, and I'm not sure if I have any say in the direction of my life". The pillow provides comfort. It cradles your head and tells you everything will be fine, right here. You've hit the snooze button 4 times now. You've unplugged it and thrown it across the room in one swift motion.

A few hours pass

You find yourself in class. There's that cute girl you have a crush on. It's a warm Friday and she's got gym later on. Her yoga pants hug her athletic legs. Her straight blonde hair flows over her tank top, resting on those perky teenage boobs of hers. Her eyes a vibrant blue and lips you want to kiss. The lips on her face are nice too.

The cosmic clock's cogs have shifted into each other and everything works. You feel like you can take on the world. You feel like you control the world. People can smell the motivation coming off you.

Wait a second though, earlier that day you couldn't get out of bed and life was like a "surreal dream". This sounds like a typical failure of metacognition. It's a failure to realize that what you want in that one moment may not be what you will want in another moment. In bed you thought life was meaningless and not worth getting out of bed for, but failed to realize that you won't be thinking this later and it's just a thought. In the presence of that girl you didn't think to yourself "fuck I wish I was in bed right now". Well, maybe in bed with her, but you catch my drift.

We see ourselves in the 3rd dimension. Makes sense. But imagine your future self. The you tomorrow, the you that's 40, and the you on your death bed. You in every segment of time from birth to death is the 4th dimensional you.

How does being demotivated effect you? You in a week? You in two weeks? Old man you? Pretty shitty, huh? Consider the alternative. Being motivated. Motivation is an emotional state - you can intrinsically motivate yourself. View any emotion - be it anger, depression, happiness, or jealousy - and you can decide their impact on the 4th dimensional you. You have a responsibility. Response. Ability. You have a duty to deal with (an emotion) at that time and the ability to choose your response!

You're an emotional tank now. You can now choose the best course of action at all times. The girls love it. They're purring over it and flocking to you like the axe commercials. Your classmates can't control their emotions. They're stuck in their animalistic ways. They're jealous and can't control it. They're demotivated and find showering, approaching, exercising, and learning pointless. They spread rumors about you because they've been raised in a competitive environment and hate the sight of others succeeding. Are you going to cry yourself to sleep? Waste away in bed and not discover the depths of this world and the intricacies of your own mind? No! You're going to get up and dictate the course of your life. Everyday. At every moment, because you want it. You want it more than a breath of air while you're being drowned. It's imperative you act, you have no choice, otherwise you're picking a much longer and excruciatingly painful death. A death with regrets and missed opportunities flashing before your eyes.

In the words of Mark Twain

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Don't spoil on me, Milk089!!

I put on some good music just a little too loud and dance my ass off with a fake smile on my face that usually turns into a real one in a few seconds.

Working out helps as well but if you work out too much you unnecessarily drain yourself of energy. Also smiling in general is badass as fuck.

I don't know why you are having these large jumps in motivation but I think it's somewhat normal to feel less motivated at times and highly motivated at others. If you are healthy, take care of yourself and get rhythm in you life it should be easier to keep yourself motivated I suppose.

btw. Maybe except the fact that you don't have a lot of control over your life can also help. You don't need control over your life. You can die any fucking second so who gives a fuck anyway? Just make the best of it and if shit happens shit happens and if shit gets real shit gets real.
