Happy Humpday!

Thanks to all of you who answered our quick poll last week! You overwhelmingly cited Motivation as the biggest barrier to reaching your goals.

Here are 5 common factors that can contribute to low motivation:

1. Lack of clear, compelling goals: When we don't have clear goals or a strong sense of purpose, it can be challenging to stay motivated. Without a clear direction or something to strive for, motivation tends to diminish.

2. Overwhelming tasks: Feeling overwhelmed by a large task or a series of tasks can lead to a lack of motivation. When the workload feels too daunting or unmanageable, it's easy to lose motivation and become disengaged.

3. Fear of failure: Fear of failure can paralyze motivation. When we are afraid of making mistakes or believe we won't succeed, we can feel demotivated to even try. The fear of not meeting expectations can be a powerful block.

4. External factors: External circumstances, such as a negative work environment, unsupportive relationships, or lack of resources, can significantly impact motivation. If the external factors are demotivating or hindering progress, it can be challenging to maintain motivation.

5. Burnout and fatigue: Prolonged periods of stress, excessive workload, or lack of adequate rest can lead to burnout and fatigue. When we feel mentally and physically exhausted, motivation tends to suffer. Check out our latest episode with Alexis Nelson to hear how stress impacted not just her mindset, but her body.

Next up on The Uplifters Podcast

This Friday, you’ll meet Lisa Crozier, a woman who on the outside looks “perfect”, but who has learned that letting go of perfectionism is the path to true love and healing.

I went into a deep depression, and I became an alcoholic. Going through that experience and becoming involved in recovery, I found purpose and personal healing and spiritual growth like I never could have possibly imagined.

Join us for our next Uplifters Workshop

Our next Uplifters Workshop is tonight!

We aren’t always consciously aware of the connection between our minds and bodies, but research shows that our thoughts have a profound impact on our physical experience. In this workshop, we will look at how you can use an awareness of your Mind-Body connection as a superpower that allows you to move through pain and other physical blocks. This workshop is co-hosted by

Julie B. Hughes
who has generously offered a free copy of her book to every attendee!

If you’ve been curious about our Uplifters Workshops and unsure whether to join, reply to this email and let me know. I’d love to have you join the workshop, this evening, as my guest, no paid subscription required.

This is My Simmer Summer
I spend 72 hours each week making sourdough bread. That’s not true. I’m actually only “making” for about 10 minutes. The rest is rest. It’s yeast and…

Not back to normal
One week ago, I stood on the edge of a volcano in Ecuador and wondered how grief and awe could exist in the same breath.
