In my personal experience I find that writing out goals and dreams is highly beneficial. Then breaking them down into steps to help achieve them.

I set alarms on my phone to remind me of the things I want/need to do. It helps me keep track of things and is a great motivation on days when I feel like doing nothing. It also helps to have motivational quotes or song lyrics plastered everywhere ( your binder, your fridge, your mirror, wherever ) with sticky notes! :)

I like to give myself insentives for when I do something good. For example, If I get up today and go for a jog, I'll come home and enjoy a movie with a friend. If I eat an apple and a salad instead of nothing, then I'll allow myself to Go out and blow my savings, haha. Its just the little things that go a long way.

Take things one step at a time. Don't think about everything you have to do today. Just think about what you have to do in the next ten minutes. Do you need to shower? Have breakfast? Leave the house? Walk somewhere? If you break things down into things you can manage, everything is slightly easier and you can get a lot more done without overwhelming yourself.

The best way is to explore. Explore things that might interest you so that there's a chance you might land on something you can spend your time with and become passionate about and good at.

- Think about the outcome - Don’t a list full of plans , step by step , write down only 3 things , when you do them , write the following tasks. - Start by the easier short time task - Turn on energetic music or relaxation music or whatever boosts your mood - Ask for help from family or friends - Appreciate yourself and feel proud when accomplishing something , this would make you want to get rid of another thing to do to feel relieved and happy. - Just get up , do not think about it , tell your mind shhhhhh , and just go ahead and do it GOOD LUCK ✨

For me, personally, motivation comes with exploration and freedom. To find motivation, it helps quite a bit to explore different hobbies, interests, or perspectives that are outside of your comfort zone and allow you to go beyond your daily life. In exploring different parts of society of life that are outside your daily life, you find meaningful things that you've never thought of before. Another major way I've found meaning in life is through volunteering. It doesn't matter where you volunteer, but helping people is so emotionally fulfilling and allows you to develop your morals and character. Additionally, it allows you to meet many great mentors and role models.
