Today it is common to see on social networks motivational messages that tell us that everyone's strength has failed at some point. There are situations that are difficult and times in life when we get tired of losing, but there are always ways to find the motivation to keep going.
If you are also one of those people who leaves things by halves and easily withdraws from any challenge, then perhaps what you lack is precisely the motivation necessary to achieve your goals, be these long or short. So we will see a few tips to motivate ourselves every day.
Write down all your achievements
Sometimes we don't find sufficient motivation because we no longer believe in ourselves. We are our worst critics and therefore sometimes we are the ones who sabotage everything we can achieve before trying. We must believe that we can do it and that we are strong, smart, and consistent enough to achieve what we want. For this we can remind ourselves some past achievements, however small they were. In this way, we will encourage ourselves to start the new tasks with more force.
Be clear about the goal
It is easy to forget what we fight for while we are fighting day by day. Get to get a good job when we only find jobs that we do not like, have the resources to travel and forget about taking vacations or enjoying them. They are examples of how sometimes by pursuing a goal we can forget what we wanted, due to the problems and the routine of the day to day. The objectives must always be clear. We must keep them in mind, if we want we can write them down and put them on a board. Whether it's losing ten pounds, running a marathon, getting a good job, or visiting your dream country. All this is a goal to be achieved that we must not lose sight of in order to motivate us to continue.
Rest and carry on
There are times when forces falter and we thought we should throw in the towel. It's okay to rest to come back stronger. It is normal to get saturated when it comes to achieving a goal and motivation may decline when we see that the achievements are not immediate. Rest is possible, but we must try again, otherwise we will have already lost.
Divide and conquer
In the case of seek long achievements term is normal that we get discouraged and demotivated at some point. That is why it is better to break the process down into small achievements. One situation would be the student who must pass an extensive course. It must be broken down into chapters and progressively studying each part. It is like going step by step up a great mountain. The same goes for losing weight, a very common goal. If we think about all the weight as a whole it may seem like too much, but you have to put on smaller weekly achievements that will not seem so difficult.
Seek support
It is not always easy because we may not have anyone who shares our goals, but it is a great idea to seek support from other people, especially in times when we do not find the motivation to continue. Family and friends are often very important in these cases. We must get away from the people who remain, those who instead of giving us their support take away energy, those people called toxic. Surround yourself with positive people and with energy that can help you continue with your achievements. If you also find a battle partner with whom to share your experience, it will be perfect because no one will understand you better than that person who is going through the same thing as you.
