The top motivation killer is the avoidance of perceived pain or uncertainty. behavioral scientists Robert Moore found that any change or dreaded thing a person experiences, even if it's beneficial, is perceived as a threat and could stop them from being motivated to take action. Basically, the brain says no. Well, a way to avoid triggering that response is to make the task or change seems so small that it's impossible for someone to dread it or fail. This is known as a micro commitment, and incremental baby steps you can take to move forward without feeling fear or discomfort around the action. For example, a person who can't seem to start exercising can set a ridiculous goal of just one pushup or set up for the next day.

Their brain thinks it's easy and doesn't resist it. The end result is since they're already on the floor, they decide to do more. You are literally tricking your brain so that you can get moving towards a goal. I mean, who knows that movement may actually turn into momentum. Physics tells us that an object in motion stays in motion. So can you think of some micro commitments that will get you moving
