How do you stay motivated?

For the past few months, I have struggled a lot with motivation. I talk a lot about being consistent. I pride myself on my consistency. My Instagram handle is literally @theconsis10c. But lately, things haven’t been easy.
Although my work life has been great, I have struggled with consistency in my personal goals. I have given the excuse of moving to a new city and starting a new job for the past four months. But it’s been far too long. That excuse doesn’t hold now. One key thing that has been lost is my motivation.
I do believe motivation comes through action. I haven’t been acting. I have been talking about what I should do and what I haven’t done. But the most important thing is doing something. I have not done anything at all.
So how do you stay motivated? You remember why you started doing things in the first place. This gives you a reason to start acting again. But if you can’t find purpose behind your actions, you will struggle. I have been trying to find that purpose. It is not as clear as before. That has been the struggle.
I hope I get over this phase. Hope I will be able to start acting and get the ball rolling.
