Progressing from beginner to intermediate so I have started to include some periodization in SS as recommended for "advanced beginners". Essentially just a light day Wednesday. The thing is going to the gym without the mindset of breaking a new PR or working my ass off lowers my motivation. How do those who are on weekly or even monthly periodization deal with these sort of feels?

Switch your focus to volume on light days or switch to a cardio heavy endurance day and focus on increasing other kinds of performance.

you deal with it because you know you won't be hitting PR's for weeks at a time and you won't make much progress if you don't take rest days, do lots of volume, etc. It's just part of life once you get further into lifting.

Eventually your PR attempts just go from daily to weekly to monthly to bimonthly. That's just how the progression curve goes man. If you need "motivation" how about you just kill yourself because this isn't he hobby for you
