How do I stay motivated when I am not seeing results?

Many people gets confused when it comes to how to handle the results when they are not to the mark they expected. But everyone needs to understand that it is not only our effort towards the situation that decide the result but the end result will get impacted by lot of other things which we don't have any control over. So putting our efforts is only one of the things that will impact the results. So the right way of approaching things is to this, No matter whatever be the result I get I will put my 100% efforts. Even if I get something less , I will be okay . This kind of approach will helps us to move on from the bitter situations there by not effecting our self confidence or self doubt issues. Only thing we can keep in our minds is putting our full efforts towards a task and not focussing or expecting about the result.

We live in an age of instant gratification where we enjoy whatever, whenever, however we like. However something that is worth doing often requires effort and its results may not be visible or tangible till much later. We have to understand and maintain our motivation in order to enjoy the fruits of our labour. Recognizing and overcoming interim discouragements n setbacks is a common thing. when there are obstacles and your intended results are far, you need to calm down, monitor and regulate your thoughts and know that it is only temporary and things will improve. We must know that the end result is a worthy cause and believe in it to stay motivated.

Staying motivated to work hard is pretty difficult as it is, but when you don't get the results you've worked for it get harder. I myself have been through such a situation in my life before and the only thing that kept me going was following the policy of going through each day, one at a time. Do your part for today with worrying about your tomorrow. For example, if you have a test in a week's time, prepare a little each day and before you know it you will have completed everything you need for that test. Also sometimes our methods of hard work may not be appropriate and a small change may get you to the results you want to see!

Just know that everything takes time and you won't necessarily see results immediately. However, you will see results in the long run. This is why goal setting is so important. You set your long term goal, as well as short term goals. You will be able to see progress along the line as you pass your short term goals, and sooner or later you will be hitting your long term goal and achieving what you want. That is how I personally deal with motivation. I was a swimmer for many years, and I always set goals of times I wanted to achieve, that way I can see the progress I make.

Find out your why. Why did you start doing what your doing? What motivated you to start? I'm sure it does feel disappointing not seeing results. You might hold back on whatever your doing.When this happens. Just remind yourself why you started in the first place.if its workout, why not check with a trainer to make sure you are doing it right? If it's a business, why not get a help from an expert to evaluate your business? . We all go through taugh time. But believe in yourself and good things will happen. "He who says he can, and he who says they can't, are both usually right" _Will smith

It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. I failed numerous tests in my math class, but instead of worrying about whether I'm going to do well on the next test, I looked at it from a different perspective: Since I've already hit rock bottom, the only way is up. I looked at what I was doing wrong in my efforts, fixed that and slowly started doing better on the tests. So don't worry if you're not seeing results, they will come and they will go. Enjoy the process of putting in effort and learning. That's where real motivation lies.

Sometimes the results are not what we may be expecting. Having a more keen eye and accepting mistakes as lessons help us move closer to our result. The more you look at smaller things, the easier it will be for you to reach your goal. The key is be consistent. Trust yourself. When we are at our lowest, our mindset is bound to become negative with it. You must remember at such times that good things come to those who strive for it. Do your best. You will get a result, that in hindsight may be better than what you were originally striving for.

Motivation is a tricky thing. It comes and goes. One thing that helps motive me is remembering why I'm doing something in the first place. Also it helps knowing that when I feel unmotivated and push through and get things done anyways I'm building that mental toughness. Also keep in mind that plateaus are bound to happen. You can never be in a state of constant growth. Don't get discouraged. It's always easiser to maintain what you have rather than give up for a while and have to build back up. Stick with it and don't focus on 1 area when looking for results. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you can't feel it. Just be you don't notice it, doesn't mean other people don't.

It's all a journey and a progress... you never see results in an instant but you actually always see results throughout this journey. Results are happening 24/7... take a look at where you are now before you were motivated and were at 0. Compare the two people... you will notice a change no doubt. You may not be at your final destination but you are way farther than you were from the start. That's progress... let that keep you going :) You have already come this far and it would be terrible to see you come back to 0 and start again :)

Keep learning. Remind myself I can that even if I make a small difference that it's something.Keep trying and looking out for people that may need help. I remind myself that I may not see results for a while especially since I am a novice. I need to keep practicing to improve my skills. I will try and engage in more training and hone in my coaching skills and listening skills. I will engage with peers to get feedback on my listening skills. I would endeavour to learn from my mistakes and conversations that dont go so well.

being motivated in times when you don't see results is hard but trust me being motivated at that particular time will surely make a difference in your life. Motivation nowadays is really important because every 2nd person is there to criticise you but you have to have trust on yourself and have confidence and be motivated. The results are not really important but just believe in yourself and do it even if you are not feeling to do that. Being motivated is really important and also having confidence to do anything. Just believe in yourself without expecting anything and you'll surely succeed one day.

Remember why you started. They also say that motivation is a myth, but personally, I find that if you don't have homemade motivation, store-bought is fine too. Set SMART goals (quick google search will help you here) and stick some affirmations up on your wall. Currently, my two favourites are "I can finish this. It will be so rewarding." and "I'm making my past self proud and my future self grateful." Keep your head down and keep trucking on. Eventually, you'll look back and see how far you've come! Also, take pictures at the start and end, but not in the middle. Dramatic changes.

I'm currently preparing for an exam and therefore can deeply relate to this scenario. Many of the things we do that align with our long term goals do not progress linearly but rather exponentially. Examples are working out, eating healthy, studying, etc. It can be very hard to keep pushing in the beginning but slowly and surely, the results will show themselves and accelerate infinitely. It is often a misconception that we need to start big to get big but in reality, that way is not sustainable in the long run. James Clear, the writer of 'Atomic Habits' states that if everyday, we do 1% better than the day before, it is not only enough and easy to do, but the efforts will compound overtime and eventually become a "habit" that is long-lasting and can be done sub-consciously. In conclusion, trust the process and keep going; no matter if you are running, walking or crawling, just keep going by 1%.

Let's take a common example of an activity for which motivation is required- exercising. People start exercising in order to lose/gain weight, and motivation is required to achieve results. Most people usually focus on the numbers that the weighing machine displays to feel better about themselves and when the numbers do not decrease/increase, they start losing motivation. In this situation there is motivation but the activity is driven by the wrong motive. In order to stay motivated, you should focus on bettering yourself, learning and growing from the mistakes and downhills you've had to improve your mental and physical health. This way you will be able to stay motivated as well as start seeing results.

Sometimes it's really easy to lose motivation when the progress we want to make just isn't happening at the rate we would like. It's important to focus on the process instead of the results. If you find ways to love and trust the process, the results will have no choice but to come eventually. Think of it this way, if you work out 3 times a week, and you become passionate about working out, you will find ways to work out that you enjoy. You will eventually grow to love it. When you love it, you will learn more about it, and thus you will find even more efficient or better ways to train yourself. The process is the key, not the results.

Sometimes forcing things such as motivation to happen can actually do the opposite. Taking "baby steps" by creating daily/weekly to-do lists can not only help with tracking progress but show you any sort of progress you are making. Forcing yourself to take on a million tasks at once often will lead to burnout, further making you upset because aren't motivated enough to do x y and z". Start small, implementing 1-2 new things to your routine, and slowly add more tasks. Seeing any sort of progress will make you feel better, and increase overall motivation in the long run.

Keeping motivated can be incredibly difficult, and when you're not seeing results it can sometimes begin to feel pointless to even keep trying. However, there are ways to stay motivated and reach your goals, and I'll talk about a few here. Different things work for different people though, so feel free to think about what would be best for you! One idea may be to consider your reason for doing things - how will what you're doing help you in the future? What would happen if you stopped trying to do it? What would happen if you kept going? By reaffirming your reason for trying, it can sometimes make it easier to gain motivation to complete a task, for future gain, even if you aren't seeing it now. Another reason you could be feeling a lack of motivation is that something in your method of doing things isn't working out for you. For example if you were trying to be motivated to study, writing notes may not be the best option for you. By re-thinking how you're completing the task, maybe it could make it easier to fine a more suitable way of doing things. Another idea may be to find new inspiration for what you're doing. Sometimes your goal may be a long way away, and take a lot to achieve. By creating mini milestones and rewarding yourself for the journey, this may help you to keep going and push yourself to achieve your goals. You could also talk to others who have been on a similar journey, to ask for more ideas to keep you're going when you're feeling stuck in a rut, and to reassure yourself that you can make it! A final idea you could try is making your journey more fun and interesting... for example if your goal is to eat healthy food, trying to find a cool recipe to try, or a new ingredient you've never had before could make it more interesting to keep going with your goal, and try new things at the same time! Gaining motivation can be really hard, and there will always be days where it's difficult to find inspiration to do things. I hope that you find these ideas useful, and can achieve all the results you want in the future.

Don't stop at your dream, even if you don't find outside support. Burn with an idea, let it kindle a fire in the heart, and make the soul tremble. Fight for yourself, for your feelings and thoughts. You decide what's important to you. You decide what to believe in and how to live. Imagine yourself in 5 or 10 years, how you will be if you go all the way. Imagine the life of your dreams, do not put a frame on your consciousness and capabilities. Take the risk, feel the life, live it. Cherish your dreams. And never stop. Because you will achieve what you want. When this happens, you will remember with gratitude your former self, the one who took the risk and went to the end. I believe in you. You can handle it. 💜

It can be difficult to stay motivated when it seems like nothing is moving. I tend to ask myself what I really want to get done on a macro and micro level and about my path to get there if ever feeling somewhat discouraged. I also know that speaking to other people about goals sometimes has been helpful for me. Sometimes in such situations I find myself needing a different route or find that I just could use some encouragement. While a friend may or may not have answers to that could help me I know that sometimes having a second opinion has allowed me the option of gaining insight from another perspective that I perhaps wouldnt have otherwise been able to hear.

Instead of looking outwards for motivation and validation and to see how well you are doing, which is what I suspect is currently happening, you should look inwards. It is really helpful to reflect on whatever it is you are doing every so often- once a week or once a session, whatever length of time is suitable for you and your activity. Don't make it too long that you won't stick to it, but keep it frequent enough so that you can see your progress in a tangible manner. Celebrate the small victories, and remember that you don't have to be better than everyone around you, just better compared to yourself in the past.

You are an awesome person and if you want something you will get it. Maybe you can try making smaller goals, keep learning from your mistakes. The psychology behind motivation is all about resistance and solution. Feeling like you’re forced to do something (resistance) will yield very different results than when you choose to do something (solution). In the same way that thinking you can’t do something (resistance) creates a different mind-set to embracing a tough challenge (solution). You can also take breaks..they do help in recharging. It’s important to embrace and celebrate each and every small success. They will serve as positive reminders of what you are capable of doing and how much you’ve achieved so far.

A big part of motivation comes from understanding the process of learning. Try to look at things in small steps, rather than as a big picture. It takes time to stay motivated, but you also have to keep in mind the progress you are making along the way, no matter how small that may be. Consider where you were a week ago, and where you are now. Try to remind yourself that change is not immediate and it takes consistent dedication to truly make and keep a change. For me, I did not recognize improvement in my artwork for 3 years, but I kept challenging myself and learned new techniques, and it was fun along the way!

Finding motivation seems to be difficult to accomplish to begin with but having determination is what I believe matters more than motivation. In those lower moments where like you mentioned you aren't seeing results, it feels pointless to continue. When you are motivated it is envisioning the results and striving towards them but once that wanes being able to focus and push through by telling yourself that although you aren't able to see results in the way you want to- they are still there. The example of weight loss- Maybe you aren't seeing the pounds that you have lost or you have hit a stale point where you aren't losing weight as quickly as in the beginning (normal). Evaluate your changes. If someone has lost weight- they might feel more energy, less aches, improved circulation, clothes looser, etc. Whether it is weight loss or you replace that example with one relative to your situation- check in with yourself- think about what has improved that you may not see as evidently because you're focused on your main goal.

I try to focus on doing one small thing a day that contributes towards my goal so that I don't burn myself out but I also don't lose momentum. Some days this is more challenging than others, but I try to push through no matter what, without being too harsh on myself. I take breaks when necessary, but I always make sure these breaks are scheduled so that I can stay focused on my goal and keep working towards it. I also reward myself after doing tasks that I need to, so that even though I'm not seeing results, I'm giving myself an incentive to keep going.

Try and break things down into smaller things to do and write a list of what needs to be done. If you tick things off then visually you will have a sense of satisfaction and that you have completed something that day. Actually seeing results is a very powerful thing and positively reinforces what you doing. Before you know it - you will have flown through your list and need to create a new one. These things take time though so do not be hurried or rushed to complete them. Do things slowly and get it right the first time :)

Personally, I believe there is no such thing as motivation. Instead, I like to refer to the process of sticking to work as being consistent. Consistency is what will eventually show you those results. Sometimes those results cannot be visually seen and they are already there even if you can't notice them. Agin, depends on the "results" that you are looking for. If materialistic, stay consistent with some SMART goals, small goals, and practice delayed gratitude. Focus is what mainly makes people successful, especially in today's world where it is very simple to get distracted and have stolen your own precious time. Good luck!!

I have been on a long journey with myself. Sometimes you don't see results, sometimes it takes years and you just want to give up. However, the reality is that I continued to work until I got the results I wanted. Encouragement from the people around me helps a lot! Most of all when things get really tough and it feels like I have no hope I push even harder and that usually helps me to see more results. The game is one of give and take. It's difficult, draining, and even challenging near the end of the journey, but eventually worth it.

Set yourself one specific, achievable goal. Think about how to include that goal in your life, what you need do to make it happen, and then put a timeframe on it (such as a week). Break your goal into small, easy tasks and set regular reminders. Use your family and friends as support – tell them about your goals and encourage them to help keep you motivated. Make your goal part of your routine by using a diary or app for reminders. Positive self-talk is important and effective in managing depression or anxiety. Instead of saying 'I can't', say 'I can try'. Mindfulness helps keep you relaxed and focused. Start a class or join a support group. Support groups can be as effective as professional help. Reward yourself when you have completed a step or goal.

It's easier to feel stuck when you keep trying to improve one area of your life and apparently, nothing is going the way you want it to go, or even things seem to be getting worse. Just remember that progress is not linear, and that your "best" is not going to be the same every day, maybe there are days when you feel super productive and motive to move towards your goal and others when the best that you can do is spends 15 minutes of your working towards that specific goal. Either way, progress is progress!, don't let a so-so day define what you are capable of, sometimes a so-so is just what you need to come back stronger later on.

How do I stay motivated when nothing gets in my favour even if I am working hard but doesn't get satisfying result all the time? Thanks for the A2A. “ YOU CAN EXECUTE A PLAN PERFECTLY, BUT THERE CAN BE A PERFECT STORM THAT FOLLOWS YOU,OR UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, SO YOU MUST ADAPT” May be there would be a storm that would be in your path, wait for that storm to pass, BELIEVE ME it’s going to pass, because nothing in life is permanent . Try to adjust yourself to the situation, make a new plan, work smartly hard not just hard. Sometimes we are quite obsessed with working hard philosophy that we work extremely hard but towards the wrong direction. Take a break from your work , sit alone at your place and just try to figure o You are not getting satisfying result all the time. Look into the following points :- Are you adopting the same procedure each time, if so the results will also be the same. You have to try different methods. 2. Are your goals logical and achievable. Once again look into your goals and correct it if required. 3. Are you working on the right way. Look into it. 4. Certain goals need time. Keep trying and wait for appropriate time. Finally keep options/alternatives open. You must foresee alternatives. I.e if this doesn't work I will try that, and that also doesn't work I Will try another. More the alternatives more the chance of success. Main goal will be one, but ways may be plenty. Why can't I be motivated forever. After some time I lost my zeal to work hard and again need motivation? How do I stay motivated when nothing is happening no matter how hard I try? How can a person stay motivated even after not getting any results from hard work? Thanks for A2A . Nothing in your favour means your are going through tough time and facing your bad days. See it's a part of life at one time you will be having good days and some other time you will be having bad days and that's called life. Life is like a curve which moves in a U Shape that is good time and then bad times then again good time and again bad time and it will continue. No one on earth has always got good time or bad time, everyone goes through it.Actually unknowingly we are attached to good days and we are afraid of our bad time and we pray to god we don't want bad time or only Active training is about first breaking down everything you want to achieve into their smallest parts. Next you need to work on small parts daily in a variety of ways. Work for 15 minutes to change and improve one part of what you do. Then access whether the new way is more productive then the old way. If it’s not go back to the old way and continue improving other aspects of your job. Also work outside your career to make contacts and get different perspectives on life by interacting with people in other careers. There are many facets to life that make us successful. Focus on a few of them daily Well, we never get expected results most of the times and that is main reason people give up Try to do these things: Set realistic goals. Most of the time, we set unrealistic goals in enthusiasm and failing to achieve them makes us sad. Maintain a journal about what went wrong. Reflecting upon failures will make you see where you are lagging behind and will keep you motivated. Whenever you feel down, listen to some motivational stuff. Always tell yourself “I already know what giving up feels like. I want to see what happens when i don’t” Wish you luck! :) Redefine our bench marks and see why you have failed. Set daily or hourly goals and see how you can achieve them. After analyzing why you are failing then see how much of it you can control and how much is beyond your control. Do you really have the passion to do what you are doing. If not see how you can build interest in what you do. Never compare yourself with others and get dejected. First see whether your hard work is in a disciplined way or you are simply thinking that you are working hard. When hard work doesn’t seem to pay off, determination is all that matters. You already have the courage to work hard and that’s great but never relent. Just keep your faith strong because even if you get discouraged and not work hard, there still won’t be results. When I was teen and I did something wrong to upset my dad he’d say ‘people that are doing things right have still not gotten a reward not to mention you that is that the wrong thing so change’ therefore, find something that helps and motivates you to do better. Find a reason that makes you enjoy pushing further. For me I just know that I have to overcome all obstacles with family's help and be successful, I want to give my future kids the best and live a comfortable life. These are the reasons that motivates me. If others can work hard and be successful, believe me you would too it’s just that the time it would take Joseph to achieve his goal isn’t the same time it’ll take Josephine to achieve hers and your time is coming.
