You're not alone if you're feeling decidedly unmotivated, so take heart in that. The middle of the year offers the perfect storm of performance appraisals, lousy weather and long-gone holidays (or some that are still in the planning phase).

Then set aside a few minutes to ground yourself for the day ahead and think about all the things you want to achieve.
2 SILENCE YOUR INNER CRITIC
