How to stay Motivated: 6 pointers of reassurance
Congratulations on getting your motivation mojo working. Maybe a motivational speaker's words inspired you, or maybe a friend or family member told you the hard truth. In the same way that the saying "Inspiration does exist, but it must find you working" applies, unsuccessful endeavors result in unsuccessful outcomes. With these six suggestions, let's turn those attempts at motivation into permanent rewards.
1. Keep in mind the trouble spots. In sales jargon, pain points are issues that arise when the offered solution is ignored. Try to remember everything that could or will happen if you don't stick with it. Consider what will happen if you don't give your heart the exercise it needs, for instance, if you were once motivated to run three times a week.
2. Avoid leapfrogging. Motivational feelings can occasionally fall into the category of looking for the next high. Prior to becoming motivated by something else, finish what you started rather than bouncing from goal to goal. For instance, if you have a passion for languages and have set a goal to learn French, learn it first before moving on to German, Italian, or any other language.
3. Know Yourself Motivation can wane when you try to achieve goals that other people have set for you. Examine your objectives and ensure that they are ones you have set for yourself and not ones that other people want you to achieve. If not, you might want to put them aside and reevaluate your destination.
4. Visualize. It has some seriously amazing side effects, and picturing the outcome of your goal can help keep you motivated to succeed. Your subconscious will be influenced by the positive energy you create around that image, and the mental affirmation that you can achieve it will boost your self-confidence and assist you in staying the course.
5. Let go of things you can't control. When things don't go according to plan, it can be easy to lose motivation and give up. If you don't learn to let go of things you can't control, they will make it harder for you to succeed.
6. Get in order. If you want to stay motivated, you need to put in some effort to keep it alive. If you don't, it will just get lost in the whirlwind of emotions that everyone experiences in life—just like happiness, sadness, or anger—until you put it into action. Create a plan of action and mark your goals on the calendar.
