How To Reset Your Brain After Long Day
How To Reset Your Brain After Long Day
Writer By Leon Ho
Most people don't have any motivation left after their day is over, friends.
The duties and obligations of their professional and personal life are just too overwhelming.
I mean... think about it.
You just spent eight hours (maybe even more) doing a lot of rigorous intellectual work.
Just with 30 minutes to lunch.
Then you get home thinking your day is over.
But no.
There's still a lot of work to be done.
You still have to help your children with their homework.
Take the dog for a walk.
Prepare dinner.
Spend time with your family.
And then, after you've finished with all of that...
You're supposed to keep studying to improve your skills and make a better future for yourself and your family.
Not.
Easy.
At all.
You know deep down this part is important.
That if you want to succeed in life and have the freedom you've always wanted, you need to keep improving your skills every day.
Still, all you want to do is throw yourself on the couch and watch some TV.
By this point in your day, you have completely depleted your energy levels.
You just have no motivation left to do anything.
The worst part is that studying and improving your skills is not an option.
You know you need to do it.
Most work environments nowadays are extremely competitive.
If you don't study and improve your skills every day, you might be left behind.
Staying in the same place could mean losing your job altogether.
So, what can you do about it?
How can you recover your motivation to study even with all the responsibilities you have?
The answer is to master transitions.
You might be wondering what that means...
Let me explain.
When you move between each of your daily activities, you're making transitions.
When you leave your house in the morning and go to work.
When you finish talking to a co-worker and start working on your computer.
When you go from your job to the gym.
And yes, when you come home after work.
If you manage your transitions well, you get a new boost of motivation in-between tasks to continue with your day.
If you don't, you end up losing a tremendous amount of energy and motivation.
Most likely than not, you're losing all your stamina when you switch from your job to your home.
To make that transition better, do this:
If you drive home from work, sit in your car for a moment and spend some time releasing all the tension that you've accumulated.
Take deep breaths, and give yourself some time to release all that stress.
Once you feel that's gone, choose a clear intention for your evening.
Say it to yourself out loud in third person.
" Chibuzor, today after the children go to sleep, you'll take an hour to study without distractions".
Then, enter your house and continue with your day.
Things will be different when you start doing this.
You'll notice your energy levels go back up again.
You'll feel renewed, and with more motivation than ever.
You will do everything that needs to get done, and still have the energy and motivation to improve your skills when you're done.
All because you started using your transitions wisely.
This is one of the things I teach inside my Actionable Motivation On Demand Handbook.
Inside this book, you'll learn how to generate motivation for yourself and take action easily.
