Finding Motivation?

I seem to be falling into a phase of early winter blues.

I mean you know when it hits winter and all you want to do is snuggle in bed, listen to the rain and watch Netflix, yeah that's how I feel right now.

I feel like I am letting myself down in terms of working out, eating well, being productive.

I don't know if it's my body telling me that I need to actually take time to slow down, particularly as I have been sleeping in a bit more (something that is extremely rare for me, I'm an early bird, always up by 7:30 at the latest) or if I just don't have the energy to get things done.

I have found particularly that my motivation towards working out has faded slightly, sure I'm still going to my group yoga and pilates classes but I'm not pushing myself to go a do my training routine on days I can have put aside to do it. Just today, I had told myself all day that I was going to go to the gym as soon as I go home from university but as I was going home on the bus, I managed to talk myself out of it, justifying that I had work to do. But in reality, I would have had enough time to go to the gym and come home get my work done, hey I'm writing this blog post now so I got my uni  stuff and housework done if I have time to start writing this. So why am I sabotaging myself into not going and doing something that will benefit me in the long run?

I actually have no clue.

I have also found that I have lost spirit in my presentation and cleaning of my room, I spend the last month of last year and the first few months of this year getting my room perfect for this year. Making it a space that inspired me and I made sure that I was cleaning it regularly, doing my washing on a schedule, making my bed etc But these last few weeks everything is slipping and yes you could say that I have been busy but I don't know if that is the case. I do seriously think I have lost motivation for what I was aiming to do this year and I need a kick up the rear to get myself back.

So how do I do this?

How do I find the motivation that I feel as though I am seriously lacking?


Okay, so this wasn't a proper blog post but I just wanted to talk about that sometimes we all have those days where we don't want to do anything but take cat naps and watch Netflix.
I am always on a continuous search to find my motivation, where it is. Instagram, Pinterest , YouTube, a good quote but sometimes that isn't always enough and you question why you push yourself so hard.

Something I'm struggling with at the moment is that when I don't have the motivation and do nothing is that I feel as though I haven't achieved anything and that I have failed the day. I know this isn't so and we all need those days to vege but how do I this idea of failure out of my head, just relax and know that my motivation will come back around the corner soon.

Anyway, I hope you all are having a fabulous day.
What are your favourite ways to stay motivated? Do you feel like to need to achieve something every day to feel successful?
