Loss Of Motivation | Somatic Restart

If you’re experiencing loss of motivation, low energy, this 2 minute somatic reset is designed to help you gently restart. For many people, especially those with ADHD, loss of motivation isn’t laziness, it can be nervous system overwhelm, depletion, or feeling stuck in shutdown. In this short practice, you’ll use grounding breath and simple body-based movements to build momentum without pressure.

Listen in the morning before work, during a lunchtime reset, mid-afternoon when energy dips, before studying, after procrastination spirals, or anytime you feel stuck and unable to begin. This isn’t about forcing productivity — it’s about building momentum gently, one small action at a time.

Welcome my name is Sandhya and if you're experiencing loss of motivation at the moment this short somatic reset is designed to help you gently restart. Take a slow breath in through your nose and a steady breath out. Rub your palms together creating a little warmth and notice the sensations in the hands. Keep breathing and place your hands over your eyes. Take a deep breath in and a sighing breath out. Deep breath in and a sighing breath out. And now I invite you to release the hands and stand up. Begin to move your feet and know that one small step is so helpful. One small step gives momentum. I invite you now to do that thing you've been putting off, Not the whole task, Something small in the direction of the task. If you've been meaning to go out can you get your shoes now? If you've been wanting to wash up can you move over toward the sink and fill up the bowl or open the dishwasher? One small step create that momentum to begin. If the body's still struggling to get motivated I invite you to shake your arms out, Shake the shoulders and only do what's comfortable with the body. And then take a deep breath in, Spread your hands wide up toward the sky and release. And again, Inhale, Spread the hands wide to the sky and release. I hope this has helped you begin. My name is Sandhya. Thank you for listening.
