What gives me motivation in my life?? What gives you motivation in yours? We all have so much going on with ourselves these days its very easy to get caught up in hype, to get caught up in the daily grind which we have let ourselves slip into day after day. This is a state of semi-consciousness that allows us the ability to skip over things in life which we need to divert more of our valuable attention too.
How many of you out there find yourselves waking up, or starting your day in a mood which you know inst the right one, but you conform to it as you begin your day? I know I sure have lots of days that start like this... Ultimately this affects those who interact with you and around you, which at the end of the day... is not good!
You do this because its whats you've always done, its what society and general populations of people conform to and practice.... its what a human being gets caught up in easily but how they counter-act it is whats important ... I call it my comfort zone, because at a point, it becomes easier for someone to just accept that mood and go about the day dealing with it RATHER than taking the moment to stop, re-evaluate the negative feelings and emotions (and why you feel like that). Stepping out of the comfort zone and using your mind to help you change your mood may be a big step for some, I know it was for me. Its far easier for people to just stay there in the zone they've set up versus changing it and starting fresh, or at least in a happier mindset! And if you think about it or a second, think about the last time you were in a real foul mood... Yes circumstantial situations play a YUGE affect, for example, If you have had a traumatic experience then yes, comfort zone goes out the window (for a short amount of time hopefully)! Im not talking about that though, that is different... im talking about and example like when you post a post to Steemit that you have poured your heart and soul into, receive 3 upvotes and then proceed to watch your post fall to the wayside with the rest on the new page ... that is not the most ecstatic feeling in the world is it??
This is where you need to step up, and not fall into that confrontational conformity that it is so easy to do... These are learning curves and if you cant deal with them appropriately, you'll be in for an emotional roller coaster... Trust me, I've been through it and on here somedays I feel like still am!! It's how you can take that, learn from it and apply it to how you will tackle your next post that makes all the difference.
I know for myself this is very true!! Sometimes when I am busy with work, or if i find myself very busy in the week, I often tend to lose focus on the important things in life like my health, my relationships and my overall happiness is affected because I seem to drown those thoughts out with ones that I think about everyday. I tend to follow my previous actions and continue the same through processes. I find it very difficult to step out of that comfort zone and get up and do something about it.
I do try very hard these days though to make a conscious effort to knowingly make a difference in how I think rationally. I try to listen to and learn from people who try teach the same things, because really, they're teaching most times out of experience.
Take Charles Fuchs, Hive account@stackin for example, whom by the way I took a keen interest as of recently, just head over to his blog and see how much effort he puts int Steemit, look at some of the posts he puts up. This is the kind of informational you need to read and watch when you're feeling in an uncomfortable mood for whatever reason, because they automatically lift you up, well they do for me anyways. It automatically makes me want to strive to be more like those I aim at learning from. You don't achieve results like Hive account@stackin does by thinking negatively and hoping things will do and fix themselves. Cheers bud and thanks for that!

Here is a YouTube star who I often fall asleep listening too! This guy @Mateusz M on Youtube is brilliant. The most inspirational videos I have ever watched.
This video here below is the one I first heard when getting introduced into how to change your ways of mindful thinking...
Take a minute or two, close your eyes and give this a listen and tell me it doesn't instantly change your mood instantly...?
