Make the complex simple
For me, there is one way to motivate yourself to perform complex work - think of it as a light. I try not to think about how much I would have to overcome the difficulties in the process of solving the problem. I think that when the handle, I'll be proud of yourself.
The most difficult, in fact, is not the work itself, and the decision to make this work in good faith and without the constant distractions (we all have from time to time there are excellent procrastinator). Do not attribute to itself the status of the victim, do not think about what you need to do a bunch of impossible important task. Make the complex simple.
I like the challenge. I like to prove myself that I can cope with any task, no matter how difficult it may seem.
Try to expand the job into its component parts - so you can see the main stumbling blocks and to think about how to overcome them.
Be able to take up this challenge, to succeed, to transform itself from a novice to the professional. Think about the reward that awaits you: even if you do not get paid for this work, feeling that faithfully carried out the task in itself is a great reward.
practical advice
- Find something that has a passion and something that energizes you.
- Invent yourself a mantra that will motivate you throughout life (or at least until the last project, week or month).
- Ask for help from friends, from the sometimes visible, what is capable and is a person.
- Write down your goals and strive for it.
- Think about what you want to come in the end.
- Do not forget to celebrate the little victories.
- Do not forget that all need a break (remember that in addition to the work still has a family, entertainment, hobbies, and friends).
- Always watch your progress.
- Remember that often we are afraid not so much hard work as it started.
- Suppose about your goals and priorities you something reminds. Better if it will be something real and visible, eg colored stickers with motivational calls or any your reward.
- If possible, draw on each other for the task. Or just find a person who can motivate you to periodically give kicks and call you to be responsible.
- Find a suitor, a man who will believe in you and your abilities. You can not fall in his eyes because of the banal laziness and restlessness, right?
- look here music, Some of it helps to focus on work. However, to select the track will have to come from the mind, as not every song is able to foster effective and focused the task.
Take a look at your life in a complex
There are many reasons why we can not motivate yourself to work hard, and not always innate laziness, apathy or lack of inspiration. This may depend, for example, on the environment or the state of your health.
Take a look at your life in a complex.
Think about your health
How often do you get tired? Does getting enough sleep? Do you have a headache often? Have you ever been frustrated and lethargic for no apparent reason? Do you have any chronic diseases?
Indeed, it is difficult to do business, when your physical or mental condition is poor.
If you are experiencing physical discomfort, then you should quickly see a doctor, and not think that it is "self-pass". remember, that restful sleep (7-9 hours per day) is the key to success. Listen to your body: it is capable of supporting, why it is bad.
Look at what surrounds you
Do not we all have the opportunity to buy a cool house in the luxurious area of the city, but we can do even a small room for a comfortable life.
Look at your home. Is it clear enough? Does all the necessary equipment? If you have neighbors, ask yourself if you are comfortable to live next to them? Does your house smell bad? Is there enough sunlight penetrates into it?
Life is in constant discomfort it causes stress and, of course, the most negative impact on our motivation to do anything. Keep this in mind.
Think about your family and friends
You are surrounded by cheerful people, or people who just do nothing but whine? What do they say to you words of encouragement, or that undermines your desire to move on?
We would all like to think that we do not need the support of others, and we do not need anyone's approval. But this is not the case. We are all social beings, we somehow need other people. And it is very difficult to remain vigorous and aimed at victory, if most of what others tell you, you plunge into depression.
So a good look at the people who are close to you. If you feel that they only undermine your motivation and faith in yourself, Then maybe you should think about how to spend less time with them.
Think about what you do in life
Do you do what you love? Probably no. The stark reality is that many people are committed to what they do not belong to the soul.
As a child, we all want to be heroes, artists, directors, dancers, baseball players and rock stars. As soon as we get older, we start to realize that not everyone is capable of becoming a rock star or director. And we have to settle for less, our dreams are hidden somewhere in the far corner of the soul.
But it should not be. You do not have to do what brings you nothing but money. You should not give up on your dreams just because you think that you can not realize it.
I know people who work on weekdays and nights and weekends devote his favorite hobby. And they are hard-working and happy people who do not suffer from a lack of motivation. I also have friends who paid his favorite cause at first a little time, and then left most of the work, because their hobby started to bear much more revenue.
Pay attention to all that, what do you do every day, how to spend the lion's share of his time. We all have an obligation in the form of work and other things, but once you deal with them, what do you do? Spend your spare time, even if you do not so much doing what I enjoy.
Look at yourself
Yes, you can own your own cause demotivation. And if it turns out well, you will have to change. Even if it is difficult, even if you do not want.
Understand, if a person is motivated to complete the task, it does not always mean that it is his joy. It just means that, despite the "do not want", he just goes and does it, because we need.
Think about the consequences that will certainly appear, if you have something does not make it. I know very few people who like to wash the dishes and throw away trash. But even less I have met people who are non-irritating to the unpleasant smell of garbage and are not averse to eat from dirty dishes.
What do you think about this?
