When motivation drops in Autumn- Here's how to stay on track

miss Asanda

 
 
Let’s be real:
Autumn is cute… until your motivation packs its bags and leaves you on “read.” Suddenly it’s cold, it’s dark, and your bed is dragging you into a toxic relationship. But your goals? They’re still here waiting for you to act right.
 
Here’s how to keep going even when autumn humbles you:
 
1. Stop Waiting to “Feel” Motivated
 
Feelings are dramatic.
Habits are loyal.
Show up even when you don’t feel like it — that’s where success lives.
 
2. Romanticize the Work
 
Make your grind aesthetic.
Warm drink. Good playlist. Cozy setup.
Pretend you’re the main character doing a study montage. Fake it till it feels good.
 
3. Use the 5-Minute Rule
 
Tell yourself you’ll work for just 5 minutes.
Your brain will most likely continue — it just hates starting.
 
4. Work With the Season
 
Autumn is slower, darker, calmer.
Do heavy tasks earlier.
Evenings = light tasks and rest.
You’re a human, not a machine.
 
5. Reward Yourself
 
Finished something? Reward.
Didn’t cry today? Reward.
Small wins count ,your brain needs encouragement.
 
6. Remember Your Why
 
You’re not building an average life.
You’re building the life you deserve even on cold, moody autumn days.
