How I can keep myself motivated?

Keep yourself motivated by doing things on a beautiful sunny day and that’ll keep you motivated. Sincerely, Selmaan A Ali

Always think about what you can accomplish when doing those things. And when you get bored of it take a small break to clear your mind and then come back to it later. Try and think of how you felt when you first started the project.

Persistency is more important than motivation. Set yourself small goals and do them. If you skip a day (like I have because of my schedule) don’t give up, or beat yourself up about it, just start again the next day or do you evening tasks. You totally got this!

Stay balanced in your thinking and remember the successes are just as important as what has yet to be accomplished and good health and self care is a journey. Every step along the way matters, even if you do not see immediate results. Train yourself to celebrate the effort and keep it up. You are the key to your best self and you have what it takes to be fabulous . . in fact, you already are and you are doing great! Keep it up 🙂

Take it little steps at a time by building 1 small habit then begin adding a few more. Little steps seem a lot more easier and don’t require a ton of motivation. Once you begin doing these small steps everyday, it will become second nature to you and you will carry out these automatically. This is when they form into habits. If your habits are a bit bigger such as 1 hour at the gym, it’s always good to set goals. Obviously, the end goal is very important, but what’s more important it’s the smaller goals, because you can track those easier and as we know the journey is the most important part, where you learn and overcome procrastination.

You probably started the journey because you had a final goal or a destination in mind. You probably thought starting the day more energized and a proper routine in place you could achieve that goal. The biggest motivation is the final goal itself. Remember the butterfly effect a small change in the beginning of a deterministic non-linear system can cause a huge change in a later state. So consider the small steps you take in the beginning of this journey to be the steps that could change your life forever

It’s by taking small steps. For example you want to run. Start by taking a walk, you don’t need to have a specific time or something, just do it everyday. Then slowly increase the intensity. U may slowly find different obstacles that might come in your way to accomplish this goal, but just keep doing it. It’s no big deal if the streak ends, just do it the next day. At the end do make your to take time and experience how it makes you feel.

Well I don’t know about how you can, but I can share my experience with you; then incase you like it, you may use it to keep yourself motivated. First I looked for things which are able to motivate me, so I made a list of them. Then I chose the habit I wanted to quit or the ones I wanted to start doing them. When I truly stayed away from my bad hobbit and I kept doing my new habit, I rewarded myself with one of those things in my motivation list. This way I was have taught my mind that if you stick into plan this motivation goes on. We made a deal and it worked, so I stayed motivated.

I think we rely too much on motivation. We treat it like a muse, we can only create or change if we are motivated. But what if we just did it? What if it was rubbish and half assed but we did it any way? Motivation is a trick to give ourselves a reason to do something. What if you remove reason?

Remember it’s only hard for a shirt time. The way you feel after taking care if yourself is way better then the pain of giving up
