I have been trying so hard and I really want to learn ways in which i can motivate myself without needing constant kicks up the butt!
If anyone can give me some advice about ways to motivate myself, inspire myself and actually keep it up for more than a day, i would really appreciate it.
Every time i start to feel and believe i am making progress, i find myself self-sabotaging and making excuses and being resistant.
I want this to work for me!!

Hi mummytoashlee,
Maybe, the very pattern you have to break is exactly what you are describing above. Do stuff even when you are not motivated, especially when you are not motivated. The more you do this, the less 'lack of motivation' you will experience in your life. Maybe it is your negativity the stops you moving forward. We are so used to be negative that as soon as we do something to change that, our subconscious stops us, manifesting itself in different ways; for you it may be lazyness, I know that is my one, coupled up with rage and arrogance. It's painful to look within, but once that it is done, you are done!
Good luck and please keep posting as I'd like to hear about your progress. Lets inspire eachother
Lots of love
Sogno
