There are times when you’re full of energy that you get to be productive and efficient throughout the day. There are also times when you feel drained, exhausted, and unproductive, you just want to scroll through your phone, do nothing at all, or just sleep it off. During days like this, how can you find the motivation to stand up and do something worthwhile and productive? How can you push through despite not feeling like it?

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty talks about the different principles we can practice when we’re too out of it but you still need to get moving and get things done.
