Be present in the now. Focus now, motivate yourself one second at a time. Train your brain to be in charge, not your body.

On those days, I usually take a shower or nap, drink a cup of coffee, read a book, or just segment a little bit of time to myself.

I just went thru this. And in my search, I found an excellent article on this which helps explain the relationship of time, energy and attention (focus) - as I was always struggling with one or a few of these factors. Turns out there are 3 pillars to productivity, which are namely time, energy and attention. If we

It’s better to take baby steps in this case than trying to tackle a big task which will be daunting and discouraging. Start small and then Take one step, then another one. Before you know it you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment which should help you feel less tired and more motivated

I’d suggest making a small goal for each day! It could be something like buying flowers or anything that makes you happy. Or something small like ”I’ll put on my favorite outfit (even if you’re just staying in) on” or ”I’ll drink a glass of water after I wake up” or listening to your favorite song when you feel unmotivated. When you achieve the goal you probably feel good about yourself and for me it helps me to be more confident and motivated. For tiredness I’d try good food and coffee (or tea if you prefer). And a little motivation dance just by yourself.

Sometimes we don’t have energy for anything and it’s ok ... At first you should have a goal and a plan, and steps for that plan. In good days the goal will motivate you, and in bad days you can consider a gift or an award for doing your step and just force yourself to do that , then you can enjoy your habits, movie, social network and ... this award or deprivation works for me👌

Hey, cheer up, this thing might not work but take time to read this even in a few minutes only! If you’re finding yourself not having enough motivation for an entire day you should try different things, try to discover arts or photography, for me this two things really help because while I’m doing this, it helps me to fully understand about my surroundings, you should go out and breathe some air, staying inside your house/room is not good! Forget your phone, computer or any gadgets you have and try exploring outside, I’m not saying you should abandon your gadgets and forget them forever, I’m saying you should take a break by looking outside and appreciating how beautiful the outside is, while doing this you might discover new things that you are good at don’t focus on social media only, try to focus on yourself, and you shouldn’t doing this to impressed other people but to change yourself and begin a new life, so stop what you’re doing right now and drink water, then step outside and breathe some air. I really hope this will motivate you because we have the same problem and even I am saying this things to you, I cannot afford to do any of this because of personal problems, enjoy your life while it’s early, you wouldn’t know what will happen tomorrow, stop wasting time and try different things not only laying on your bed all day and facing your gadgets, you need to change. Hope you always have a good day, we love you(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

decide that you’ll accomplish one simple thing. set a timer and do it. after one thing see if you can do a second, then a third. short tasks like drink water, stretch, go for a walk lead to other things.

Imagine your future self looking back at you and thanking you for all of the hard work and all of the sacrifices you’ve made for yourself
