Hello
I hope everyone is coming out of covid well, I sure didn't. Im new to the form, however Ive been SS for just under a year now (dedicated on 10th September 2019). Im Canadian, Male and 20 years old. I severely need a support group in my life and I couldnt think of a better one than the accumilated knowledge of the Joy of Satan (and the Gods of course). My main critical problem is a common one I think, yet I still cant find how to fix my behaviour. I am a perfectionist, but I tend to lose interest in things quickly and far before completing the activity. Each time I meditate, I feel and acknowledge it works and I feel great doing it, yet it bores me the next day and so forth until I decide not to meditate for an entire month straight.
I have a new found (temporary) ambition to experiment with Biokinesis (manipulation of life on a cellular level) and thus have an interest in power meditations again. Itll probably last for a week at best, even if I was to get results (typical of me).
If anyone has advice on how to overcome this horribly repressing behaviour, I would greatly appreciate it. I hate havings debts so Ill gladly aid you (and the community) as well if Im able.

Sounds like a bit of an air elemental dominance. If this is the case, you may have strength in your mental ability and adaptability, but you may falter in your staying power (because your body wants quicker change than average). Have you done a natal chart reading for yourself? This would help elucidate your behavior and allow your to counter your weaknesses.
There are multiple angles you should approach this. Firstly, you can do workings that will aid your motivation, however one problem with this is that you may become bored of that working too soon, if it wasn't producing results quickly enough. Once you have more motivation to call upon, workings can be a more useful solution, but for now I would suggest hypnosis as a means for altering your behavior. I view hypnosis almost inbetween the physical and spiritual world, in the sense that it produces results very quickly in the physical realm, but its means of action are done through the mind and subconscious.
The aspects of your behavior that you want to change are probably not just motivation, but also staying power, discipline, and perhaps a strong affinity or derivation of enjoyment from spiritual work (such that you meditate daily not by force, but desire). However, the most important and first step is to first scrounge up some motivation that you can call upon that would then allow you to accomplish these grander goals. Hopefully that makes sense.
For hypnosis, I would suggest
Wendi's program as I hve had good success with it, even with little usage.
Natural Hypnosis is another good one that I used in the past. I prefer multiple sessions in a program, as opposed to just one session however, as it seems more conclusive.
Second: If you use any clownworld entertainment products, you likely have poor dopamine functioning as a result instant-gratification you receive. Cutting down, or blocking these activities, such as video games, youtube, or anything like this, will also go a long way at aiding your staying power on otherwise relatively "boring" activities, such as meditating. Even a high sugar intake or other stimulating and addictive elements of processed foods will encourage your body to act in this unhealthy manner. This is because your brain is given such a strong differential between choices of activities. "Why do this one boring activity when this other one is 10x more fun and requires zero effort?".
This is what focus meditation does, in that you are forcing your brain to sit "still" for a set amount of time with no external gratification. Use this same concept in your lifestyle choices to promote the same thing - increased length of time/more work per the gratification received. Modern technology is good for logistics and communication, but it has been really bad for motivation/dopamine-functioning. Have faith, as you will find your brain will adapt over the course of ~3-5 days of strict abstinence and will begin to be entertained by what used to be boring. The same way you brain gets used to new items and other positivity, it also gets used to a reduction in items and amount of gratification.
Focal/void medication alone will go a long way to fixing you, but this is more long-term in nature, whereas you desire quick change. This is where they hypnosis comes into play. If you find yourself unable to sit for the hypnosis sessions, then I would suggest an easy 5 minutes of void meditation, which is just enough to generate some mental fire or willpower to push on and do the hypnosis. Also, don't trick yourself: make the hypnosis and other solutions you employ in the future as the immediate priority in your day. I would do it the first thing in the morning, if you can. Don't try and work on other stuff first.
Mantras you can use in the future might be runes such as Eiwhaz/Nauthiz/Uruz, Aum Yamaya Nama/Svaha, or Raum/Suryae. You could also invoke fire or use fire mantras, but I don't know if this is really a permanent solution. Feel free to try these as well, but I would prioritize the hypnosis. Like I said above, it produces more immediate results.
