Lack of Motivation
Lack of Motivation: Why It Happens and How to Address It
We’ve all felt the sense of “not wanting to do anything.” Motivation seems to vanish, leaving behind a feeling of emptiness and anxiety. But here’s the good news: you are perfectly fine. Lack of motivation is not laziness or weakness. It’s a signal from your brain that has lost its sense of direction.
Why Has Motivation Become a Problem?
For most of human history, motivation was tied to survival. Finding food, building shelter, protecting family—our energy was directed at staying alive. However, in the 21st century, where basic needs like safety and comfort are met, the brain faces a new reality:
- The brain has lost its goal. What once drove our motivation is no longer relevant. The brain doesn’t know where to channel its energy.
- This is normal. Your brain isn’t "broken"—it’s just operating by old rules in a new world.
