Boredom, stress, burnout, feeling overwhelmed, and a lack of clear goals can lead many people to a lack of motivation. Setting small, achievable goals, practicing self-care, changing your environment, and turning to others for inspiration can be helpful in regaining motivation.Being self-motivated also means having enough self-awareness to know what works for you and what doesn't.
Rather than depending on others to give you a reason for doing, your sense of motivation comes from within. Your drive comes from your interests, values, and passions, not someone else's checklist.Unlike laziness, being unmotivated is more like a source or cause, whereas being “lazy” is the visible symptom. Because of this, being unmotivated can cause you to feel lazy: a cause and effect. Though it's unlikely for you to feel lazy without feeling unmotivated, you can feel unmotivated and still complete tasks.Self-motivation tips
