learning_slowly Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 When things get tough, e.g. A break up while revising for exams etc, it's easy to go off the rails. How do you keep on going in the right direction? Do you use a routine? Or?
Potz4prez Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Make lists of things to complete every day and cross them off. Exercise. Avoid mopey music/movies/shows. Don't stop doing the things you enjoy. Avoid alcohol. Keep yourself and your diet clean. Don't stop grooming and dressing yourself well. Take time to breath - meditate.
todreaminblue Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I motivate myself through defeat, around defeat, and through genuine desire from my heart to succeed, I also read a lot, motivational books,the bible and books pertaining to my faith, or i gain knowledge on what i need to succeed,if i need to get fit i get fit, I have a high enough iq that success is limited to what i set the limit at, I have a resilient body that has carried me on and through some really hard fights. I pray, I realize if i truly want something i always have to fight for it., and I don't get cocky when i succeed. I am grateful always,success has come naturally to me many times, I don't think i have done any successful endeavours without god or the holy spirit and the help of others to get there, it isnt me alone..I never give up, I eventually succeed might take me a while but I always get what is meant for me to have if i dont , it wasnt meant for me that is defeated , defeat is a temporary state not a permanent state to stay in..resilience is key,strategy is key, calm mind and spirit i skey, god is key and gratefulness is paramount..good luck....deb
gaius Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I lie to myself and pretend I can get them back if I achieve whatever it is I'm working toward.
sarbunoemi Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I make a gratitude jar and everyday I write why am I grateful for. I thank God for the break up, for the stress, for all the hardships on my way because, without them, I wouldn't grow. I simply start accepting them but rarely blame myself because I get to a very negative state of mind. I blame the emotion I am feeling, not myself so motivation grows everyday. So, my tips: -make a gratitude jar -be thankful of your hardships -don't blame yourself, blame the emotion you are feeling -ask yourself: "What can I do for myself?"
Author learning_slowly Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks, does praying give you extra motivation? Maybe I need to be more religious for that to work. I like the idea of the jar, but maybe an online notebook, so it can be easily referenced?
