Self-motivation

03 Jul 2022

By Ushara Shamini No one can motivate you except yourself. As you may know, self-motivation comes from how much you love yourself. Most of the time, a person who has faith in himself/herself will be more motivated. Always remember that self-doubt is the one factor that hampers anyone’s motivation. Self-motivation is also the word that explains the trust and love people have in themselves. A self-motivated person will always do things that make them feel good. They wouldn’t want to dwell on their mistakes. A self-motivated person is the one who is always present for themselves; they help, support, console, and inspire themselves at every point.  Self-motivation killers Lack of confidence – if you don’t believe you can succeed, what’s the point of doing or trying anything? So remember that when you truly believe you deserve success, your mind will generate ways to achieve it. Therefore work hard to boost your confidence first. Lack of focus – if you don’t know what you want, do you want anything? Put your brain to work by focusing your mind on a positive goal instead of an ambiguous fear. You’ll instantly come up with a plan for success. Lack of an ultimate goal – if you don’t know what to do, how can you be motivated to do it? A lack of an ultimate goal kills motivation because we succumb to procrastination. Therefore, have an ultimate goal to enrich yourself with high levels of self-motivation. Self-motivation techniques Begin simply. Always be surrounded by motivators that give you that initial spark to get going. Motivators will be the triggers that keep on reminding you to get going. Besides, identify your motivation style, so that you can utilise its strengths and stay motivated. Keep good company. Interact regularly with positive and motivated people. It could be as simple as talking with a peer or a quick discussion with a friend about it. Positive and motivated people help you grow, help keep you motivated, and also help you see opportunities during tough times. Keep learning. Read and try to absorb as much as you can. As you may know, the more you learn, the more confident you will become. Reading good and positive stuff can give you ideas to keep you going even when the going is tough. See the good. While encountering obstacles or challenges, never lose sight of the fact that they, too, contain the seeds of something much bigger and positive. You may not sense them immediately but wait a while and it will become clear that every cloud has a silver lining to it. Know yourself. Try to keep notes about when your motivation level gets very low and other times when you feel like a superstar. You can also discover a personal and unique pattern of motivation for yourself, which you can work around. --- Concluding paragraph You’ll inevitably encounter periods of low energy, bad luck, and even the occasional failure. By being on guard against the motivation killers such as lack of confidence, lack of focus, and lack of an ultimate goal, you can preserve your motivation and propel yourself to success. It is not easy to be a part of this competitive world. We have to face new problems every single day. Everyone gets tired. At those points in life, we need motivation. Always remember that bad experiences and situations are the best motivators. PHOTOS © PEXELS.COM
