How do I independently motivate myself?

Watch Youtube videos about your goals. Watch videos that show people achieving those goals. It doesn't even have to be a major life-changing goal-centered video; it can simply be a night routine to get you started on feeling a bit better and productive about your day. It's hard finding that bit of motivation but once you see others doing the same, it can help start a change inside of you. It makes you feel as if you aren't alone and you're not. It may help you find that connection and get you started on things. Don't be discouraged if certain things don't work for you. There's a multitude of other things that can work and help. The path is never easy but the journey teaches you a lot both about yourself and the world around you.

There's something called internal motivators that help us with motivation that comes within yourself versus an external motivator that comes from an outside source Like an incentive. Positive thinking is powerful and telling ourselves to do something for it's own benefit has an impact. For example, doing something that you don't necessarily want to do but you do anyway, because you know it'll make you feel accomplished. Another way is to make something meaningful, find a purpose in your actions. Keeping those thoughts in mind will help motivate oneself independently, and of course the more you do it the better you get

Motivation is very hard to get when anyone is just starting out. So I believe the best way is to get an external resources to help me out. I listen to motivational speech, videos, and podcasts to help me out. There are may ways to go about this but I feel these are the most efficient. Another tip would be making your bed. I know it sounds trivial but when I make my bed in the morning that is already one thing off my checklist for what I have to do that day. Hope this helps, thank you.

hello! to independently motivate yourself, you need to think about what you really want. are you satisfied with yourself right now? if not, then WHO do you want to be? once you've identified what you want to achieve, think about how you can get there. appreciate yourself for all the things that you're good at, even if it's something really tiny. thank yourself for taking care of YOU. maybe try writing a letter to yourself where you pen down all your good qualities. exercise, do what you love. do things that are good for you, practice a little self-care, too

You have to set a particular perception for yourself and dedicate your motivation from everything you love without minding others opinion. Because in the first plase it is your life, it's your journey and what comes ahead of you will always depends on your decisions. Motivates yourself to become the best of you and do not let out side forces interferes with the goal you've set. You need to consider all the challenges, conflicts and problems in life as a process for you to grow more independently. You have to motivate yourself in order to keep your emotional and physical well-being cooperates with one another. Life maybe cruel, atleast you are motivated enough to live for it.

From my personal experience, to motivate oneself independently requires a meaning goal. The meaningfulness is necessary. For a goal to be meaningful, it has to be personal and valuable to your "inner self". Therefore, the meaning always lives inside you, independent of external influences. It's inside, so you can always think about it and derive motivation from it. For example, if Viktor Frankl is a psychiatrist who survived the Holocaust. He believes having a sense of meaning allowed him to endure hardships and survive in concentration camps. He constantly thought of returning to his wife and daughter (his love for his family is intrinsically meaningful to him). After he was liberated from the concentration camps, he found out his wife and daughter passed away, so he focused on being a psychiatrist—lecturing on psychiatry and helping others find meaning. Again, he found intrinsic meaning in being a healer, which allowed him to carry on his life, grow and thrive. To find meaning may require much self-reflection, discussion with trustworthy and thoughtful people, and exploration in the real world. But I can personally attest to that everyone can discover their own meaningful goals that serve as powerful and stalwart motivators.

Here's how I independently motivate myself, I hope something here helps: 1. Find what my top 3 core values are. These are the unconscious motivators in us. They are also the face of the love we have to share with the world. My favorite site for this is this one (free survey) - https://www.viacharacter.org/ 2. Do one 10min thing, today, that feeds one of my top 3 values. For me, it's "creativity, spirituality and learning". So I might choose to watch a 10-min youtube video to learn something, or take 10-minutes to meditate, or take 10-minutes to create something (a drawing, or knit, or create a solution to a problem for others). Any 10-minute activity counts, if it feeds one of your core values. 3. After I finish a 10-minute task I ask myself, "what would I like to do better or differently next time?" Like riding a bike, this question helps me "adjust the handle bars" or "pedal slower" or "pedal faster". The question helps keep me going, and helps me avoid me negatively criticising or judging myself. 4. Remember to investigate judgments and assessments for the core value behind them. If I'm telling myself, "I'm not doing enough," I ask what core value I'm trying to feed. Maybe I am scared because I want security. Maybe I'm feeling restless because I need companionship. Once I understand the core value behind the judgement, I pick a 10-minute task to feed that core value. If the core need is companionship, maybe I'll call a friend, go to reddit, or come to 7cups. If the core value is security, maybe I'll meditate on releasing my fear and grief and focus on the feeling of reaching my goals. 5. Remember to play. Sometimes I can get so focused on "doing good" or "doing better" or "doing the right thing" that I can lose my sense of humor. So to prevent this, I now have a long list of hobbies and activities that bring me joy, and reach to do one every day. A 10-minute stroll outside, or 10-minutes of watching cute animal videos can help me lighten up, and bring balance. Studies have shown that even daydreaming can improve productivity (in 10-20min bursts). I hope these help you. The specifics depend on your core values and needs. Then your heart and body can direct you what to do next. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to talk more to: - uncover your core values - find 10-minute tasks that will feed your needs - find ways to bring play and balance to every day Especially in odd times like these, we could all use the gift of whatever your love wants to give the world. Strength to your heart! M

Something I've tried is to start by talking to people. The more you talk to people, the more motivated you become to start doing things. Asking for help from friends is always a good thing to do, as you have a more personal connection with them. If that doesn't work out, you can try to do something everyday for five or ten minutes. Once you start, sometimes you'll find that you can't stop. And then, boom, there you are doing something. If you keep thinking "I just can't do it," or "It's just not worth it," it might make you feel even less motivated than you were before. The trick is to catch those thoughts before you start believing them. Yes, it's hard, but you have to push through it. It'll all be worth it in the end.

Based on my personal experience, you have to find something that you're passionate at. Once you find that thing, you have to consistently remind yourself why you're doing that thing. My motivation includes the feeling of checking off a box so to speak, or having accomplishments. I love that feeling, so that's what continues to motivate me. However, let's say you can't find something you're passionate about, which is common for many people. Trying different things until you find the idea of what you like may work best for you. Keep trying things you like and see what you felt when you did those things in order to motivate you to keep going. Then, you can translate that feeling to many other aspects of your life to continue to motivate you, no matter the subject.

When I consider motivation in general, I believe there to be two option, the intrinsic and extrinsic. Although, much of our decisions and final calls to action or inaction would come down to a combination of them both. This occurs in any situation, whether its in the making of a healthy meal, whether or not to sleep in, or to delay homework or any other responsibility. The portion of our internal motivators makes the decision, as the self moves it to action, while the other external motivator makes the judgement as to how it will be perceived by those around us. The limitations on both of these things come down to how much we value ourselves, the intrinsic, and how much we value others, the extrinsic. Regardless, our motivation will waiver depending on how our health levels of valuing ourselves and others are weighed.
