Motivation - Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. Shambhala

www.sakyong.com
"What is my motivation?" "...one of the most important elements of motivation is that we are taking our mind in the direction that we want to go... So motivation is a key tool and it's orienting the mind. ...for example, you cannot meditate without some kind of good motivation, or clear motivation, or appropriate motivation."
"We can ask ourselves, 'What do we want our motivation to be?''"

I am not the Sakyong, just the person who manages this TH-cam channel, but perhaps the simplest instruction for your situation is to keep focusing on your breath, perhaps even include the bodily sensations of breathing, being aware of your addomen moving, etc; to get you more grounded. Your posture might be an issue and you can hear more about that in the video Meditation Instruction on this channel. This channel also has a Playlist on Meditation Instruction that you might find helpful.
