How to Take Action When You Don’t Want to or how do you move yourself to act even when you are feeling unmotivated?
Our conscious mind says take action and subconscious mind procrastinates. Sometimes to take a first step you hesitate because of the fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of unknown or fear of being judged.. Sometimes you avoid taking action for a new task because it requires focus. Sometimes you just don’t feel it. Sometimes you have a difficult task ahead of you, and all you want to do is give up and hide. Acting against better judgment due to weakness of will is called Akrasia. There are many reasons, may be you focus most on the thing which you are not having, may be because of health issue, may be because of the negative comments, may be you need to read or write a long contents, make an uncomfortable phone call, maybe you just had a bad day and don’t feel like doing anything at all or may be people are not responding and you filled the gap with negativity that you have been postponing for an uncomfortable amount of days. For worriers taking first step is hardest & for Warriors taking first step is easy.
It’s uncomfortable, it’s draining, it’s boring, and it’s frustrating, it’s insulting. And yet there’s no way around the fact that you need to take action.
If you’re anything like most people, your go-to strategy is to use self-criticism as a motivator. In other words, we bully ourselves into taking action. But while this may work sometimes, it’s not a very effective strategy to do first. It doesn’t nourish a healthy relationship with your-self if you do it in the begining and do it in the later stage instead..
The below 10 steps that help you get with your inner barriers, and to carry them with you as you start doing what truly matters.
And it all starts with a simple acknowledgment.
1. Abort Before anything can change, you have to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: Right now, you don’t feel like taking action. Whatever “taking action” means for you, right now it evokes a lot of difficult feelings, such as boredom, frustration, anger, resentment, or maybe even depression. And no matter how much you would like to be motivated, you’re just not. There’s no easy-to-reach “feel good” button on the back of your head. Unfortunately, we often cling to “good” feelings, which causes a lot of trouble. Our tendency is to avoid activities that might trigger uncomfortable feelings when we feel good. Hence we avoid and postpone taking action. Therefore the first step to make yourself take action is to abort on feeling good. Abort on your idea of feeling motivated and driven towards your goal. The more you cling to feeling good first the harder it will be for you to take action.
2. Make Room for Discomfort It’s not just enough to abort on your attachment to feeling “good." Taking action gets you into contact with a lot of difficult thoughts and feelings. And as long as you struggle with your own feelings of discomfort, you will struggle with taking action because of our mindset biased to instant gratification.
So instead of making “bad” feelings the enemy, allow yourself to have them. Stop overcoming barriers, getting through barriers, or defeating barriers. Learn to get with them. Inhale them. Make room for feelings of discomfort and allow yourself to feel bored, frustrated, and maybe even depressed. This doesn’t mean that you have to like your difficult feelings. Nobody does. But it does mean that your difficult feelings don’t need to change before you can do what truly matters for you.
The sooner you allow yourself to feel discomfort as it is, the sooner you can start taking action.

What matters most to you’re the benefits or loss? Try letting go of any guilt you might feel due to compliance, applause or otherwise. Instead, focus on taking action for whatever is a very good reason to you. A free choice. Just because.
If this kind of “reason why” that matters. It can be a huge source of motivation and inspiration. Get clear on your goals and values, and let them fuel you towards action. If few people did not respond then take it as a challenge and make up your mind to approach for more and more people with more confidence. The more confidently you will speak the more people will respond you positively.

Feed your capacity to choose and take responsibility. If you have made the belief system as A FOR ANDA IN PLACE OF A FOR APPLE due to your past experience. Start saying A For Apple now and change the belief system with conscious shift. If people are not responding, say people are responding and build a positive Aura build a positive energy field around you. Your positive energy field will attract people and and your negative energy field will repel people.
