How To Get Your Mojo Back In 10 Easy Steps

Get your mojo back

So for over a year, I’d been going too fast, taking on too much, and a few months back, I just burned myself right out. I lost all my mojo & didn’t want to do anything at all: hung out at my house, in my pajamas, watching TV a lot. Here’s what I did to get my mojo back:

1. Find a comfort place to get your mojo back

Find someplace that makes you feel better. Hang out there for a while. Mine’s the library. Just makes me feel better being surrounded by all those books. Give yourself permission to rest and relax in that place.

2. Do something nice for yourself

Go shopping or to the spa or write yourself a list of things that are fabulous about you. Whatever it is, it has to be about you, for you, and does not include you doing anything for anybody else. Do something nice for yourself at least once a day.

3. Make a bucket list then do it, all of it

I don’t care how old you are (teenager, just out of college, thirty-something, middle-aged, whatever), write a list of things you want to experience before you die. Then start doing them, right now. After you check everything off, make a new list. Repeat.

4. Get moving to get your mojo back

Take a pilates class, ride a roller coaster, go boogie-boarding, jet-skiing, bowling, hiking, roller-skating. Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Get out of the house & get moving.

5. Turn up the music

Crank up the volume and the bass. Shake the windows in your house/car. Let people stare. Who cares? Just feel the music.

6. Sing along

Loudly. Off-key if that’s the best you can do (which sadly is true for me). Embarrass your spouse/friends/kids. Who cares? Just sing.

7. Dance to get your mojo back

Shake what your mama gave you. Vigorously. Embarrass your spouse/friends/kids. Who cares? This is about you. Just dance.

8. Take a road trip

Pick a place, somewhere new. Throw your spouse/friends/kids in the car & head out. Crank up the music & sing along. Tell jokes & laugh. Take in the sights along the way.

9. Learn something new

Pick something you always wanted to learn. Spend the money on yourself (because you’re worth it) to do it. I always wanted to learn to shoot a gun. Now, I’m taking lessons.

10. Give yourself permission to be where you’re at to get your mojo back

Acceptance is the fastest way to get your mojo back. At least it was for me. Stop fighting the way things are. Or beating yourself up. Or taking everything so seriously. Accept your life the way it is, right now this very minute with warts and all, then work at fixing what’s broken, one thing at a time.

  1. Hey Shelli! *boogies past*

    Great ideas, I need to add #2 and #3 to my list. The rest just comes naturally (my poor, poor family – LOL). Glad to see you’ve got your groove back 😀
    *hugs,

    1. Hi Amber! *waves wildly*

      Sadly, I think number 2 is hard for a lot of people. But I’ve heard it said a lot that you have to give to yourself before you can give back to others. You are most welcome. I’m rooting for you to take some time for yourself. Cheers, darlin.

  2. Great post, Shelli. I have been needing to get my mojo back for a while. I am definitely going to be giving these a try.

  3. Hi Shelli,

    I know, it’s been quite sometime, eh. It’s great to be back though.

    I’m a “repeat mojo-lost survivor”, Shelli. It’s happened more times than I’d like to admit publicly, but in admitting it we tell those who don’t see a way out that they’re able to survive it too.

    While each of these you’ve shared have assisted me on my own journey as well (with a few changes here and there), it’s been #9 and #10 that have been the most effective for me.

    Great post, my friend. 🙂

    1. Hi Deone!

      *waves hysterically* ~ lol Yes, it’s been a while but fabulous to see you as always. You know, I was waffling about admitting to some of this stuff & my husband said the same thing to me, that other people will relate to it & might be able to see a way out for themselves.

      I agree that numbers 9 & 10 seem to be the most helpful. Although cranking up the music runs a close third.

      Thanks so much for the compliment & for stopping by. Made me smile. 🙂
