Foolproof Strategies To Stay Motivated

One thing that gets us going through day to day life is motivation. Even when we are unable to see the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, motivation still keeps us going.
It takes a whole lot of effort to get from where we are to where we want to be; many obstacles come in between our path to success.
The reality is that staying motivated is hard.
With countless surprises life throws at you, you are often left wondering if you really have to push yourself. Is doing all this worth your time? Do you need it enough to keep going?
Fortunately, it is not impossible. Here are a few foolproof, psychological hacks that will keep you motivated, on your feet and ready to take on all challenges life throws at you.

Write It Down!

Write it all down. Make sure you factor in the qualitative and quantitative aspects of your goals. Once you put in black and white, keep the note somewhere in sight.
While we do make plans (a lot of them) they mostly die in our minds as soon as we get busy. Writing things down holds you accountable for your goals; it serves as a reminder for the progress you have made.

Cut Out Distractions

When there is a lot of clutter, you can’t really make much progress. This is because your attention is split between multiple things at the same time.
This is where procrastination comes in—you end up wasting energy on things that don’t matter, that you don’t have enough left to focus on your goals.
If you find yourself running in circles, not reaching your goals, take a break. Think back to your priorities before moving ahead.

Befriend Positivity

Practice self-talk with that little voice in your head. This will help you stay positive and energized. Look at this way, problems will occur, the unexpected and undesirable will happen, but positive self-talk can help you overcome all of it. You will be able to bounce back to your real self, fast, and will continue moving forward.

Reward Yourself

Every one of us likes rewards. They make us feel happy, recognized and valued. At times, even a short break can be that reward you need to keep you going. Once you have your goals in mind, note down how you are going to treat yourself once you reach that goal.
Use these simple yet effective tips to stay motivated and you will notice dramatic improvements. For psychological hacks to stay motivated, get in touch with leading business consultant and hypnotist, Marshall Sylver.

At times, life can be overwhelming. It’s when you go on and on, doing the same thing every day. Eventually, it becomes redundant; it lacks purpose; it fails to connect.

The sense of being unable to achieve what you wanted for so long can put you in a difficult state of mind. But there’s a lot you can do about it. This feeling stems from resignation. It’s when you decide to stop trying . Ultimately, it’s important to realize: it’s you . And you can   take back control . Have a friend who has given up? Be the shining light in their life. Don’t Forget—All That You Feel Is Thought Based As human beings, we constantly do one thing with our mind—we think.
