Motivation, or lack thereof

This morning I feel little or no motivation to do much of anything. I know you probably didn't want to hear that from me, but that's what happens in a blog, insight into the inner workings of someone's mind. It's not that I don't want to do my job, I do; it's always on my mind. Today, though, I'm just overwhelmed by the amount of work that remains on my agenda for the next few weeks. I have lots to do, have accomplished much already, yet the stack doesn't seem to get any smaller!

So, today is going to be a challenge.

For example:

I set my alarm to get up early...I hit the snooze.
I planned on getting to the office early...I'm still in work out clothes.
I planned to exercise...I'm still at the computer (in work out clothes).
I planned on a healthy breakfast of oatmeal and a glass of milk...hasn't happened.

Now the clock is ticking, reminding me that I should be in the office in just a bit and I haven't hit send on this yet nor accomplished anything else. (and I'm still hungry)

How do we get motivation when it just doesn't exist? (I expect that you expect to find some insightful answer that will help all who read this to experience an epiphany as to the location of a well of motivation from which we can drink as often and as freely as needed. Unfortunately, I'm still looking and am expecting that from you!)

Today, I'll still take Yoda's advice to "do or do not." Some things I'll do, others I'll wait for another day. I'll work on the pile in front of me and start from the top (and finish prioritizing them so what's on top is most critical).

As for motivation...maybe I'll just plan for a nap in the middle of the day and sleeping in tomorrow. And while neither of those is likely, I'll just hold on to one thing I know I can always trust in, that "in Christ I can do all things." (Philippians 4:13)

And that's enough for any day.
