What gets you motivated?

[PrettyDecent]

Approaching and closing women is something we talk a lot about on this site. It takes a lot of will-power and mental strength to push those barriers as we transform ourselves into better people. But what about the art of motivation? What gets you up in the morning when you practice your daygame? Or when you come back home, tired from a hard day's work, and you go out for nightgame? Do you repeatedly think of a compelling reason or a clear vision that illuminates your imagination with inspiration? This question is as much what gets you motivated as it is how you get motivated...how would you explain this to a newbie?

Well you know how sex and vaginas feel really good? Remembering that tends to be what motivates me haha

PD,

Going along with what Corky said here...

I simply would schedule my outings so that I knew that's what I was doing for the night (or day if you are doing day-game), and then I would just force myself to stick to the schedule. Once you actually get out there, the sight of beautiful women, and the thought of ravaging them in my bedroom, is usually enough to get the gears turning.

Cheers,

Recently though, my motivation is starting to go down, since now I'm freezing up more and come up with excuses more frequently now. I'm not dressed stylishly, so I shouldn't approach. I can approach her but I don't know what to open with besides a direct opener, which people here say is bad. Things like that. I feel really empty right now, and I don't want to be approaching girls with a crappy mood, even if I try to hide it. Confused right now.

I'm a bit of a self-improvement psycho with a geeky sense of humor, so thinking about it like an obstacle course and reaching a new level in a mission, or quest if you will, usually does it for me.

When i go out by myself, i find i am in one of two moods:
-Elevated
-Isolated

The whole thought control works, but it's much easier to avoid being in the downward spiral altogether.

To avoid the isolated mindset that traps so many lone-wolves, you need some assurance. Any sort of positive interaction will do. Sometimes it seems like no matter what you try, people just don't like you. You might call a friend, or a few friends, and everyone is busy. You might talk to someone and get completely blown off. That's where the thought control is really necessary. Not taking things personally is a crucial trait for us over-thinkers. I'm going to repeat that:

Not taking things personally is a crucial trait for us over-thinkers.

knowing that i have the ability to give someone a real-feeling connection with me, brighten their day positively, and give them a few laughs to make life less of a burden is all the motivation i need.
