For motivation in general, sometimes it takes "going through the motions" before you genuinely get to a point where you feel motivated. Usually, when you get involved in positive activities and habits, it's not too long before the positive affects take affect, and make you feel awesome! I really like what you said about going through the motions. I guess a quote that comes to my mind is "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." This gospel, while it is easy to follow, I find that the things that are asked of us are the hardest to follow at the same time. Thank you to everyone that has responded and possibly will respond. Your advice is very helpful. :)

Lately, I've been really struggling with my spirituality. I haven't been praying and reading the scriptures like I should. I'm beginning to realize that I really need to do something about this. Like my life "depends" on it, in a sense. When it is late at night I get the reminder that I should pray and I just don't do anything about it. I know all the quotes that say "If you don't want to pray, that's the time that you really should.' etc, etc. However, I am really lacking that motivation within myself to change my habits. So I guess why I made this thread is so I can feel like I'm not the only one and if I'm not the only one, what are some things that have helped you to find that motivation. Of course, I know that each person is different and the things that worked for you may not work for everyone. I'm just looking to find a light at the end of the tunnel.
