My ways of increasing motivation

Audrey オードリー

This topic really got me thinking. 

When I set a new goal, or when I try learning something new, I am all gung-ho about it for a few days, a few weeks at most.  Then sometimes I lose my motivation. 

If it is something that I have to do, I have to stay focused.

Here are some ways to increase motivation. 

1. Write down my thoughts.  Why did I lose motivation?  Is it too difficult? Is it fear of failure?
Writing down my thoughts help me understand myself better.  By answering my own questions, I have a better idea of the situation.  Sometimes I can come up with an alternative.

2. Set mini-goals if possible.  If the ultimate goal seems too far to reach, I set mini-goals.   

3. Reward myself for little progress.  A $5 latte from Starbucks is usually my reward.

4. My mood affects my way of thinking.  I make sure I have enough sleep and exercise because it affects my mood.  When I am in a good mood, everything seems possible.

5. Focus - If I feel I don't want to do it, or I can't do it, then I try to remember why I started doing it in the first place, and how I felt at the beginning.  

If it is something that you have to do and cannot quit, and you are having a bad day, tell yourself "tomorrow will be a better day".  Sometimes I add, "It has to be.."
