Boost Your Motivation

7 Inspiring Ways To Stay Motivated.

When it comes to getting things accomplished, motivation can be hard to come by.

Yet, motivation is exactly what is needed. A small amount of motivation is required to do small, simple things, like brushing your teeth. Bigger tasks require more motivation to complete.

But how do you manufacture motivation when you have none?

Here are “7 Inspiring Ways to Maintain Your Motivation”, so you can stay focused and achieve your goals. Many people fail to achieve the goals they set themselves because, somewhere along the way, they become demotivated. This article will assist you in getting back up and running, doing the things you know you must do to achieve your set goals.

Learn to motivate yourself and you’ll accomplish more:

1. Use pain. 

If you fail to complete a particular task, what damage will be done? It
might just be the inconvenience of having even more to do the following day. Or
it could be the prospect of someone dropping by and seeing how filthy your
home is.

Come up with several good reasons why failing to take action would be
painful to you.

2. Use pleasure.

Saving $25 this week might not be too exciting, but the vacation
you’ll be taking next year is pretty great. Remind yourself of all the benefits you’ll
receive. Make a long list that will help to keep the fire burning inside to
successfully deal with those unpleasant or boring tasks. 

Visualize the future you expect to enjoy from getting your tasks completed. Rehearse your successes in your mind. Create an image that motivates you take the next step enthusiastically.

3. Set short-term goals.

It’s hard to stay motivated for more than 8-10 weeks. So,  if you have a goal that will require a year to accomplish, you’ll run out of gas before you’re successful.

Break the goals that take an extended amount of time into smaller goals that can be accomplished within two months.

4.Make the task more enjoyable. 

Raking the leaves off your front garden, might sound like a dreadful way to spend the afternoon, but what if you listened to your favorite album on your iPod while you raked? You could invite a few friends over for a barbeque and ask them  to bring a rake.

Ask yourself, “How can I make this task as enjoyable as possible?” and then listen to the answers you receive.

5. Give yourself a reward. 

You wouldn’t go to work each day if you didn’t get paid. The reward you receive is enough to keep you going back each day. Apply the same idea to keep your motivation high enough to get things done. Think of a few things you truly enjoy and use them as motivation.

Just feeling proud and pleased with your progress can be a form of reward. Those that struggle with motivation are often hard on themselves. Be happy with your progress and you can expect to enjoy more progress in the future.

6. Take a deep breath. 

Few things will drain your motivation faster than an over-stimulated mind. Stay clear on what you’re trying to accomplish and focus on the most direct path to get there. Deal with one task before moving on to another.

Keep your brain focused on your current task. Meditation is an effective tool for learning to focus more effectively.

7. Include another person – get an accountability partner. 

Going to the gym each day can be challenging. But if you know your workout partner, who is also your accountability partner, is waiting for you, it’s more difficult to stay home. The presence of others can increase your level of commitment. Reach out to a friend.

Conclusion.

Without motivation, willpower is the only solution. Willpower is much more difficult
to sustain than motivation. Learning to control your motivation is part of learning to
control yourself. There’s little that can’t be accomplished once you learn how to
manipulate your level of motivation. Even the most challenging tasks become both manageable and enjoyable!.
