AboutKerry D Sim Expertise I help people become clear about what they say they want, and hopefully clear about why they are not getting it. I do not answer questions like "How do I make a million dollars?" or "Where do I find my soul-mate?" or "What is the perfect job or career for me?" I also don't do "romance" question, like "What shall I do if my boyfriend/girlfriend confuses me? I don't understand my lover, what shall I do? I will answer questions from people who find themselves unclear, or confused about their purpose in life. I also help folks with limiting frameworks, beliefs, and emotional blocks that keep them stuck doing the same things over and over, while expecting different results.

Question Hello.
I saw your website and was very intrigued.
My question. I had a great spate of motivation a few years back. Worked a full time job, had a part time job
and tried to pitch a TV show in between. The company I was with full time closed down, my pitches went nowhere. I sit around with zero motivation today. Getting up and getting through the day is hard enough. Finances are in the toilet. I feel like I know what to do, I just cannot bring myself to do it. How do I get my motivation back?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance
Peter
Answer Peter,
My short answer to your question is "I don't know how you get your motivation back."
Truly, this would take more time, more clarity about your situation and thoughts, and more direct communication than is available through this particular forum.
One guess I will make is that you have not yet completely 'grieved' the loss of your job and your security. This 'grieving' process seems to be necessary for most people when something (or someone) important is lost.
Another possibility (guess) is that at this time of financial stress etc. you are not willing to pitch anything that will (in your mind) most likely result in just more rejection... Sometimes it is necessary for one to simply wallow in misery for whatever reason, and allow the truth of a situation to become accepted before moving on. This too is common for many people.
Again, these are simply 'guesses' based on the small bit of information provided in your original question.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to deal adequately with complex issues such as this in such a simplified forum us All Experts. You might consider sending this to a number of Experts and try to get a range of responses (and I don't particularly like that word "expert" - but it is the term used on this site.)
That all being said, there is one way out of this that sounds (and can be) quite simple. Just change your mind about the negativity of your situation. Accept it as being WHAT IS, and act from that framework.
I said it sounds simple, and can BE simple, however many people see it as "What, just change my mind and fergetabbouttit!! No way!" If that is the best you can do, then you must continue to "wallow" until such time as you are able to do otherwise. The choice remains yours.
