something about motivation

It´s understood that "burnout" is a frequently phenomenon today.
So it forces to ask how is that possible, that you are so dead in that way.
There are many theoretical psychological approaches about the meaning "motivation" but they are often not implementable.

Motivation is the entirety of all your motives and goes back to classical Latin "movere" to move, to push. So it´s something very actively. But you can´t loose your whole energy because if you are motivate in something you get it back like feedback or compliments by others or yourself. Important is for what you will move, whats your passion and what´s your aim. That´s the condition to start. Maybe as a beautiful imagination. Accompanied by a personal dream you find the energy to do things you really want to do.
Tip: to remember your aim/dream/need/passion put a suggestion paper on the mirror
