Question of the Day: Motivation

I’ll admit that this week has been a low motivation week. Last week was the end of my daughter’s school volleyball season, and after running on adrenaline and chaos for 10 weeks or so, I was just worn out. Then we chased it with an epic concert weekend and house guests. And we kicked off the week with a school band concert. And did I mention that it’s been cold outside? By Tuesday, I was done. I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t want to go for a walk. I mostly just wanted to curl up on the couch and sleep until December. But somehow I managed to get myself up and moving – and I was treated to some gorgeous mornings and a surprise run-in on the trail that made my whole week. And I would have missed out if I hadn’t gotten up to walk.

How do you handle days like these? When you’re struggling with motivation, how do you get yourself up and moving?
