Five methods of self-motivation to achieve your goals
- Transfer
Did you feel like everything was falling out of hand? Each task that you face is more difficult than you expected and maybe constant problems accompany you in your life path?
Often we find ourselves in stressful situations and it is extremely important not to give up and not lose internal motivation in order to emerge victorious from a difficult life situation. In general, get comfortable and meet 5 ways to stay motivated and achieve your goals.
1. Think less and do more!
Stop putting off complicated work because it seems too heavy or boring for you. The more you worry about what you have to do, the less you really want to do it, so start doing it right now - this is the best way to deal with a lack of motivation. You will surely have a million reasons to refuse to perform this unattractive work, but believe me, as soon as you begin to carry out it you will feel more confident in order to continue it.
2. Plan your time and stick to the plan.
Without a clear idea of what needs to be done, any upcoming major project or responsible work may scare you. You can easily be led astray by the desire to delay the beginning of their realization until the last minute.
Just set aside several hours a day at the same time to do this frightening job. Clearly imagine what tasks you intend to complete in these two hours. If you want to lose weight or go in for sports, free a couple of evenings to go to the gym and stick to your plan.
3. Set goals and reward yourself for achieving them.
One of the easiest ways to self-motivate is to set achievable short-term goals. If you are starting a new business, you want to earn, for example, 40 thousand dollars in 5 years - this is a long-term goal. Break these 5 years into stages lasting half a year and decide on the goals which you want to achieve within each of these periods.
You will feel that you are capable of more when you realize your tasks, if you were unsuccessful, you can at least analyze it in time and understand what your mistake was in order to adjust your plans for the next 6 months.
4. Add a little variety.
It's pretty boring to do the same job and maintain a high level of self-motivation, so if you feel that you need variables, find them. If you are tired of exercising in the gym, jog in the park, if you are constantly working in your home office, try a couple of hours to work elsewhere. Even small changes in your daily routines are a great way to stay motivated.
5. Leave time to relax and avoid overwork.
Many people immerse themselves in a project or enterprise and this takes away all their free time, energy and energy from them, depletes them and, after a few months, leads to their inability to act effectively. The most important step to stay motivated is to find time to rest and relax. Take a step back and appreciate your own achievements, find time for your favorite activity, spend a few hours with family and friends.
Sometimes demotivation can overwhelm you. Do not get depressed and do not give up all your undertakings, do not set a precedent, refusing to fulfill the planned plan, just lower the bar of your expectations a little. Make a decision to work before lunch or evening, but be sure to complete something meaningful this morning. This would allow you to be proud of yourself and stay motivated.
Good luck!
