In this episode, Scott Becker shares insights from a Twitter poll on how people push through low-motivation days.
Chapter 1: Who is Scott Becker and what is this podcast about?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. So one of the things I constantly do is I've become addicted to these Twitter polls where I'll raise a question, offer something on my mind. I don't want to be too vulnerable here or too weak or too anything.
Chapter 2: What Twitter poll question did Scott Becker ask about motivation?
But the question we were raised yesterday that we did a poll on is, what do you do when you can't find your motivation, you're a little bit down, stuff like that. And I got a tremendous amount of great responses. You know, one person said, massive amounts of caffeine and a good night's sleep.
Chapter 3: What are common ways people cope with low motivation?
And again, and the person went on to say, some days are just going to be bad days and life goes on and you deal with it. And I think that's right on. Another person said, and there are a lot of these, prayer, meditation, high interval intensity training, even when I don't want to do it. So I love that response as well. Again, the massive amount of caffeine I go with all the time.
Chapter 4: What unique or surprising responses did Scott receive about boosting energy?
Another person said creatine and worked through it at the gym. More and more people seem to be crazy about this creatine thing, and at some point we'll have to try that out and see if that's really as good as people say it is, creatine. A couple other suggestions, and I love these. Music, walk, call someone in your inner circle. You know, it's almost phone a friend, and I think that's right on.
Certainly do that a lot. A couple more people said... 30-minute power nap, 30-minute power walk. I think, again, great ideas. Dr. Pescatori said nothing better than a nap. Couldn't agree with that more. Dr. Freitz said, I go for a run. I think that's also a fantastic day. So, so many different options. What do you do when you're doing poorly, when you feel down, stuff like that? And I may...
I think everybody has these days. I certainly have them. A couple more responses I got. Some of these are my basics. Hydration, breathing, walking, jiu-jitsu, drink a glass of water. So many great ideas. Somebody else says, I spend all day working outside to exhaust myself mentally and physically. And I think that's great as well. So maybe I'm able to get a good night's sleep too.
I find the regular things I do, I go back to drinking X amount of water a day, doing X amount of steps a day. I go back to making myself more busy than not busy. I'm healthy when I'm busy than not. I will periodically, of course, talk to a therapist. If I'm really anxious, I'll take the anxiety drug that I take periodically, et cetera, et cetera. But I love this topic. I find it very real.
I find it encouraging to talk through some of these issues of what do you do when you're feeling down? I know this might be a little bit too self-disclosure, but it's really just to get ideas for other people, for my close friends, not for me.
