Battling De-Motivation: Practical Tips for PTSD Recovery
“So that's what we're going to do with things that demotivate us. We're going to eliminate them or swap them right. Or if you're just going to eliminate it, eliminate it, yeah. Once you start doing this and eliminate things, you're going to feel so much better, because we're talking about getting rid of what demotivates you, so you can feel motivated, right.”
Feeling stuck on your PTSD recovery journey? Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke are here to help. In this episode of 'PTSD TV Monday Motivation', they tackle the tricky topic of de-motivation. Kayleen, who overcame 17 years of CPTSD, and Brad, who has also faced his own PTSD struggles, share their insights on what drags you down and how to lift yourself back up. They dive into identifying what specifically demotivates you and offer actionable steps to eliminate these negative influences.
Whether it's ditching junk food or using a newsfeed blocker, they stress the importance of removing anything that brings you down. If total elimination isn't possible, they suggest swapping out the negative for something positive. For instance, instead of letting a negative thought spiral, catch it and replace it with a positive affirmation like 'I love myself'. The duo believes that true motivation comes from not just doing things that inspire you but also avoiding what drains you.
Their approach is practical and rooted in personal experience, making it relatable for anyone struggling with PTSD. Tune in to discover how to stay motivated and move closer to a life filled with joy and fulfillment.
