Hey, it's Dr. Kim D'Eramo from the American Institute of Mind Body Medicine. If you've ever told yourself, "I'm procrastinating," or, "I'm just not motivated," or, "How can I get more motivated to do this thing or be this thing that I need to be?" I have a really cool story that I need to share with you that I realized about motivation.

I recently was creating videos for a new program I'm doing. It's a program I'm super super inspired about. I've been thinking about it for a long time. I'm really excited about it. It came to actually getting the videos up and getting them created and I was like, "Oh, I just can't seem to get this done." What I realized was, I was going about it in a way that I was not motivated to do. It's me with the lights, and in a nice outfit, and dressed up. It's this professional looking video when what I really have to share is so easy to get across. It just comes out. Boom. It flows forward from me so easily. I thought, "Why is it taking me so long to get this done?"

I realized, "Wait a minute. I've got to just dump this way I've been trying to do it." Dump this thing that I think I need to do to make it look the way I was thinking it's supposed to look, and just dump it. Let it look what it looks like. For most of my videos that's like me holding a selfie and it's like everything's moving in the background, but it works because I care so much about sharing my message and I don't have to worry about getting motivated. It just happens automatically. I decided to just do my videos. It's me and my computer.

I shot the first one yesterday and it was awesome, like really awesome. It's even more awesome than any of the videos I've done that are in that professional lighting, and the nice outfit and all that. I just decided to let go of my ideas about what I thought I was supposed to be doing and just share from my heart. Super easy. That's the invitation for all of us. Whatever it is you think you're not motivated to do like, "I got to finish that program that I ordered online," or, "I got to do this work," or whatever. You think you're supposed to do it a certain way. Just dump it. Allow yourself to do what it is that you naturally are inspired to do because inspiration is totally different from motivation. It comes naturally. It's effortless and you receive more back from it than what you put in.
