Self-Love Matters: 3 Reasons Naming Your ‘Why’ Brings You Inner Calm And Energy

Kara McDuffee

Do you ever feel stuck in a procrastination fog, unable to get yourself to do the thing you’ve been telling yourself that you want to do? Or, when you do get around to doing it, disappointed that it didn’t fulfill you like you wanted?

Not knowing the “why” behind our goals creates this tension in our life. We often feel lethargic and unmotivated when trying to pursue something. And when we do feel a burst of inspiration, this motivation is quickly followed by anxiety and uncertainty. Both emotional waves usually end up in the same result: disappointment and a lack of follow-through.

Why? Because we lack the clarity we need to understand how our wants align with our goals.
