HOW TO GET SELF MOTIVATED?
Many of us feel like we can't motivate ourselves. This is usually because we are doing something that requires a significant amount of time and effort, and we have no idea how to get inspired. This can be true for almost anything. The following blog will provide tips on different ways you could motivate yourself, as well as ideas on what else you could be doing at the same time so that you're not spending too much time wanting to do your thing while neglecting everything else in life.
For many people, motivation itself is complex because they find it hard to stay motivated when they first start, or they find it hard to stay motivated long into a project or task. As time passes, though, staying motivated is more accessible. This is because you begin to see the importance of completing a job and the list of things you must do to achieve your goal or dream.
Motivation can be tricky when you start because you are concentrating on something unlikely to end up being a long-term thing for you. It's hard to keep wanting it badly when it's not actually tangible or not yet accessible. However, with time, motivation will continue to grow, and you'll want to strive harder and harder to achieve your goals or dreams. This can be through becoming more accomplished at what you do every day, which makes the motivation more achievable and more endured.
While getting motivated for a long-term project is hard, it's not impossible. You should be able to get inspired by a specific project you are working on when it comes to something you want to achieve. For example, you wouldn't get motivated to improve your academic results because the results are not tangible, and they're impossible to achieve in one sitting. However, if you wanted to start learning another language, then motivation would be easy because you will have many things on your schedule during which you can fit in studying.
The best way to get motivated is to start small. Instead of trying to create a big task and then starting on it, you should develop mini-tasks that are easy to do and make up the most significant tasks that you want to do in the first place. By doing this, you will be able to motivate yourself without effort because the job you initially have will be small enough for you to finish but still a massive chunk of your big project.
When it comes to motivation, if you find yourself lacking it, don't feel like reaching for a motivational poster or listening to some motivation tape or music. Instead, do something that you enjoy. This way, you can stay motivated with the thing you want because the motivation will come from something that will always be interesting for you or fun to do.
Being motivated to do things other than what you're currently doing or what is most interesting is possible. If you find yourself wanting to change something about your life, then it is possible for this wishing to motivate yourself and make it happen. However, changing things about your life isn't without its problems, especially when it comes to dealing with those people who care and are close to you and should know what's going on in your life and feel a part of it.
It is possible to get motivated to do things you don't enjoy but want the result. If you are interested in something, it's possible to get motivated if that thing is exciting and enjoyable. For example, if you know a lot about sports, are interested in them, and want to start playing a new sport, then motivation would be easy because it will be fun and challenging. If anything, this would make your inspiration grow as time goes by because what used to be a chore or boring non-challenge would become exciting as your skills improved and you got better at the sport.
Experimenting with motivation is an important thing that you should do. If you experiment and find that a particular way of motivating yourself works for you, it would be worth sticking with it. You may find that a sure way to motivate yourself works better than the other ways, or perhaps your interests change, and what used to encourage you no longer does, so you should try out different things to see which works best for you.
It's not all about being motivated when doing something, though. Sometimes motivation is all about knowing why you're doing something in the first place.
