That’s when you need to “throw your hat over the wall,” meaning, commit to something that preferred state of mind wants. Calendar it. Promise it to someone. Make it a plan that involves someone else.
Inspiration can be fleeting. Learn to trust your “best self” and ignore the lazy grump who “doesn’t feel like it now.”
Practice this, and the inspired/more positive self will get a chance to occupy more and more of your real life.
