How to stay motivated in your life
As a senior year student, I know that this year is gonna be a long one. There's a lot of pressure and stress. Staying inspired and enthusiastic is my number 1 goal. Today i decided to share with you guys my tips to keep my self motivated all the way through. So get excited because you're about to get the key to the climb the ladder of success.
Determine your big goals
The first step, before anything, is to know what you want exactly. And this the most important phase to actually achieving them. So take your time and think about it.Set small objectives
When your goals are long term, it's very likely to loose encouragement. However setting smaller goals makes you feel like you're really moving forward and making some steps towards your main purpose.Write them down
Either big or small, it's very important to write down your aims. It gives you a clear vision of what you really want and what you have to do. It also helps you to make them concrete.Make a plan
Now, some people say that it's better to not make a plan. But spontaneous acts don't always work as desired. And we don't really wanna risk our ambitions. Thinking about the how is very helpful to set your mind.Recognize the progress
Sometimes you gotta step back so you can tell how far you have come since day 1. It's a great way to remotivate.Reward yourself
After recognizing your growth, you gotta cheer yourself up by a little prize to solidify that proud feeling and to keep moving and working even harder.Get inspired
Things get tough sometimes. And this is exactly when it's so hard to keep pushing forward. When you're feeling down don't let this emotion immerse you. Get yourself up and do whatever inspires you. Read, listen or see whatever makes you enthusiastic. Whether from someone you admire or someone who achieved what you're willing to accomplish, inspiration is everywhere just use it to your advantage!Share the journey
Use others to help you make it to the top. Share your energy and positivity with each other and lift you up when lacking inspiration.Make it fun
The journey might be long. So don't get bored. Try new things! Don't be afraid to go through new experiences. It helps you love what you're doing, and makes the path easier. Don't forget that the journey is as important as the final goal. So keep the energy up and break the boring routine.Failure is a new beginning and not an end
Challenges are always on your way. You have to overcome to stay in the path. But remember that it's okay to fail as long as you're learning from it. When you hit the blocks on your way once, bounce the next time. It's a great way to keep learning and growing.

I love this post I definitely needed to see this since college starts next week. I definitely agree with setting smaller goals so you don't get discouraged that you aren't reaching your goals!
ReplyDeleteExactly! The fact that you have accomplished something makes you wanna do more.
DeleteMotivation is like money. Hard to get, harder to keep.
ReplyDeleteNormally I don't reward myself for achieving a goal but next time I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome :)
DeleteI agree with your take to Reese's comment - When you accomplish something, small or big, you're driven to do more.
ReplyDeleteThe part that I like the most is about rewarding oneself. A simple ice cream treat can so easily come under it. The essence is positive incentivization.
Giving yourself small rewards makes you know that there is even a bigger one when you achieve your goal. Which helps so much to stay motivated.
DeleteWonderful tips! Staying motivated can be hard, especially if you don't have clear goal in mind. These strategies will definitely help people stay on track!

ReplyDeleteGreat tip! Staying motivated can definitely be a challenge, especially when you don't have a clear goal in mind.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I find it hard to remain balanced. I run a side business, my blog, work full-time, and I have three kids. Sometimes it's nice to have a reminder that we cannot do it all, and that we need time to ourselves to recharge in order to be effective in other areas of our lives. Thank you for the content! I will pin this for the reminder when I am feeling overwhelmed.

These are great tips, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tips! What makes me motivated is just going ahead and doing it! Plus being organised!
ReplyDeleteThese are all excellent and very helpful tips.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs some guidance or orientation in order to reach an objective or goal which is why it's so important to establish them or write them down.
Taking one day at a time and go at our own pace is equally important.
In the end, we are the result of what we decide on and if its not of our liking or its what's best for us, we can always change it!
Keep up the good work and best of luck in your senior year ��
