12 Simple Tricks To Keep Yourself Motivated .

.

1. Start now.
   Tell yourself to start this moment. Not in the
   evening and not tomorrow, right NOW.
   .
2. Set a performance goal.
   Setting a goal helps you find your way
   forward. This comes in handy for various
   things, such as, if you have a bunch of emails to
   reply to, or laundry to do, or bills to pay. Setting
   a goal will help you tackle all of this.
   .
3. Make an if-then rule.
   The if-then rule is very simple. Suppose you
   finish
   a task that had been pending a while, treat
   yourself. For minor tasks, you can get yourself
   chocolates or a nice meal. For bigger tasks, you
   can treat yourself with a vacation.
   .
4. Don’t think about survival.
   Everyone learns to survive sooner or later.
   Sadly, we are so worried about making
   enough money, or doing things the right
   away, that we forget to look at the more
   important things. Instead of survival, we
   should motivate ourselves to become the best
   version of ourselves, the best of everything. We
   should aim at setting an example and nothing
   less than that.
   .
5. Rise above your insecurities.
   Instead of feeling jealous about other
   people’s successes, try and figure out the
   reason behind it. There must be a story. They
   would have developed great habits, worked hard
   and made certain compromises to get where
   they
   have.
   .
6. Get a routine.
   Believe it or not, this habit makes a huge
   difference. A routine can help you get your life
   on
   track. It will keep you going. When you finally
   have a routine to follow, focus on it and try to
   get
   better at it every day.
   .
7. Embrace discipline.
   There are times when you’ll realise that
   motivation isn’t the problem. Instead, being non-
   disciplined is.
   Has it ever happened with you that you are
   constantly inspired to work towards your goal,
   but you can’t make time for it? This is where
   discipline comes in the picture.
   .
8. Keep realistic expectations from yourself.
   Don’t add too many things on your to-do list.
   DON’T give yourself improbable deadlines.
   .
9. Stay away from toxic people.
   Stay away from people who make you feel
   terrible about yourself. Keep miles away from
   that
   girl who cribs all the time. And stop talking to
   that fellow who can never utter a nice word
   about
   you.
   .
10. Understand the value of that ‘extra’ bit.
    It is possible that you have both talent and
    resources. You are working hard, but you’re
    falling short because you are failing to take that
    extra step. Think about it. Maybe you are just
    that tiny step away.
    .
11. Ask yourself - ‘ Do I want it bad enough?’
    The answer to this question will tell you how far
    you are willing to go to fulfil your dreams.
    .
12. Stick notes.
    You need to be constantly inspired. So stick
    inspiring notes on your office table, or put
    motivational wallpapers on your laptop. Every
    time you feel bored, just look at it. It sounds silly
    but these things actually help.
