Subtle Shifts with Jennifer Delliquadri

218. What To Do When You Just Don't Feel Like It


Listen Later

We've all been there — you had a plan, you had good intentions, and then you woke up and just couldn't make yourself do it. In this episode, I'm getting real about what to do on those low motivation days, because the answer isn't to quit and it isn't to white-knuckle your way through either. There's a smarter approach, and I'm breaking it all down for you.

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that consistent people feel like showing up. They don't. Motivation follows action — not the other way around. And in midlife especially, when your hormones are shifting, your demands are higher, and your recovery needs are greater, this gets so much harder to navigate.

In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to handle those days so you don't derail your progress or your health — without burning yourself out in the process.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The three types of "I don't want to do it" — and why telling them apart changes everything

  • How to do a quick body check-in to figure out what you actually need

  • My low motivation day toolkit with practical, realistic strategies to keep you moving

  • Why rest is part of your fitness plan — not a break from it

  • The identity shift that matters more than motivation ever will

Whether you skipped your workout, talked yourself out of a walk, or just feel stuck in a low energy rut, this episode will give you the tools to keep going — imperfectly, and on your own terms.

Because the people who make the most progress aren't the most motivated. They're just the ones who figured out how to keep going when they don't feel like it.
