How do I independently motivate myself?

1. Think the “end” rather than the “beginning.” Your house/apartment is a mess and pretty dirty too. If you can’t get yourself going, walk into each room and get a visual of what it will look like when it’s clean and orderly. Sometimes that visual is all you need. And here’s a related “trick.” When you first wake up in the morning, visualize your day from start to finish. See yourself getting things done. 2. Set up a competition with yourself. This works if you are naturally competitive. Say to yourself, “I bet you can’t get that one wall painted in 45 minutes. Set a timer and go for it. Turning tasks into a competitive game is both fun and motivating. 3. And what’s a competition without a reward? You’ve brought some work home and you just can’t get started. It’s boring and tedious, and there’s no one there to pitch in. And you have to meet a deadline. Plan what you “get” when you get it done – something good, and don’t cheat. When you finish it, you get to go for your favorite burger and a beer or order pizza. 4. Tell others what you are going to do. Your yard is looking like the forest primeval, and you have told everyone at happy hour last night that you are going to spend the entire day getting it cleaned up. Once you have told others, you pretty much “own” it, and you should be able to muster up the motivation, so you won’t have to admit that you failed. 5. Break a task down into smaller chunks. And write each chunk down in order. Attack just the first chunk. Then go check your email or get on Facebook, but just for 15 minutes. Set a timer. Go back and pick up chunk #2 and so on. 6. If the task is physical, get that music on Upbeat music tends to energize people. So, while you get to that project that has been half-finished for the past 3 months, attack it to the music. Get the last of those Christmas decorations down and put away; clean out that fridge; go through your closet and drawers and throw stuff away; go into that horrible place, the garage, and clean it. 7. Turn off your phone You can’t turn it back on until you have put in two hours on the tasks you know you have to get finished. Negative reinforcement sometimes goes a long way to motivate people. 8. Post-it notes with inspirational quotes Put them in places where you usually go to veg – like on the TV screen or your game console, or that stuffed chair you sit in and fall asleep. 9. Make a list in advance Here are a couple of things about lists. It’s psychologically very rewarding to cross things off as they get done. And crossing things off tends to motivate us to move on. The other thing is this: you have to start at #1 and you are not allowed to move to any other item on the list until #1 is finished. If you put the least favorite task as #1, and stick to this “rule,” chances are you will get the rest done. 10. Take a cold shower This will definitely wake you up and will actually get your blood flow going. 11. Do not multi-task This clutters your mind. There’s a great old saying – “Only one potato at a time”. You can only plant one potato at a time and you can only harvest one potato at a time. The same goes for tasks that require your focus. 12. Let in the light There is something stimulating about having all of the blinds and curtains open, letting in all of the light you can. And if weather permits, open up windows. Fresh air keeps you alert. 13. Do something aerobic When you feel yourself drifting off and you’re ready to go veg, do some jumping jacks or running in place. This will restore energy. 14. Do the visible things first There is something motivating about physically seeing the results of our work that motivates us. De-cluttering your workspace just makes you more emotionally ready to get going; printing out that report or post you just finished, rather than only emailing it off, gives you a physical reminder of what you have accomplished. 15. Talk to yourself as you are working If you can give yourself little pep talks while you are attacking those tasks, you can motivate yourself to continue. And do it out loud. Say things like “C’mon. You can get this done – just a little more to go.” Be your own cheerleader. No question about it. It’s tough to motivate yourself when there are no others around you that you need or want to perform for. External praise and encouragement is a huge motivator. But if you can get into the habit of motivating yourself from within, you will have developed a skill that will serve you for a lifetime, under any circumstances. It gives you an independence of action that will serve you well.

It's more about self discipline than motivation. Motivation is unreliable. But you can always take control. But I do find that music helps me when I need a little boost. Life is a process and it's important to know that there will always be set backs. It's about knowing that progress is rarely a linear thing. One day you'll be a little ahead of where you were and somedays a little behind. The setbacks are just as important as the good times of not more. That's when you're really tested and that's when you really grow as a person

It's easy to stay motivated when others cheer you on. Your friends and colleagues can be supportive and encouraging and even help when you have projects or tasks to complete. Think of the “end”, not the “beginning”. Your house / apartment is a mess and rather dirty. If you can't bring yourself to move, walk into each room and visualize what it will look like when it is clean and tidy. Sometimes this visual representation is all you need. And here is the related "trick". When you first wake up in the morning, visualize your day from start to finish. See how you achieve your goal. Give yourself a competition. This works if you are naturally competitive. Tell yourself, “I bet you can't paint this wall in 45 minutes. Set a timer and go for it. Turning tasks into competitive play is both fun and motivating.

Everyone is motivated within their own pace and own tactics. Think of ways you were motivated in the past and what had triggered it and try to replicate those into your everyday life. What are some goals you would like to set for yourself? Having goals to work towards can create a motivational path as you know exactly what you are working towards. Self-reflect and jot down notes to help keep aspects organized and help you adjust or create new goals. It is also ok to feel unmotivated at times, just remember to pick yourself back up and continue to progress.

I find it easy to motivate myself when I am excited and make schedules. I feel that if I set small goals, I can achieve success but if I procrastinate, I will never get anything done. Being excited about what I am doing gets the ball rolling. Whenever I have small goals, that do not require a lot of time each day, I make long term progress. Staying motivated when I am by myself is not always easy. When I succeed in the weekly goal, I treat myself to a concert or a movie. This helps me to feel good about myself and continuer toward my end goal.

There are numerous ways to independently motivate yourself. Because, the actual motivation comes from inside of us. So, write down your three major goal and values in a clean neat paper.

You can also listen to videos or read books that motivates you to become best version of yourself.

Think about what made you discouraged in the first place. If it was someone else telling you something, if it was you seeing that others are better than you, or if it is just a random thought that popped in your head. Finding the root cause is always important. Then think about the following questions- What should you give back to the society and the people who feel like that? Would you like to be a role model for them? What is the change you want to bring that would make your today better than yesterday? This can be a way to reflect on yourself and a step towards self motivation.

🌿Avoid What bothers you is things and actions that bring discomfort. Try to define your condition, understand yourself and find ways to get rid of it. And while it takes time, it's worth it. 🌿Ignore That you don't care. It's no secret that the distribution of attention to several things / objects at once can weaken you. Concentrate on what is important and necessary to be productive. 🌿Analyze And remember your feelings in happy and not so moments of your life. Try to describe your condition to the smallest detail. Reread what you have written and be inspired to work more efficiently. 🌿Smile And laugh more often. Laughter will help prevent stress and relieve you. Watch comedies, have fun with your friends at concerts - enjoy your free time. Try the exercise for yourself: Every day, find 5 things around you that made you happier today. 🌿Exercise Physically: do not forget about everyday, even small, workouts. Exercise or go for a short run. This will help put the body in order and keep it in good shape, as well as experience pleasant emotions. 🌿Create A suitable environment for yourself that can motivate you to work. The space around you is as important as the people around you.

Independent motivation relies on satisfaction with results and an interest in whatever subject matter is in question. It is more challenging to be motivated for things that do not interest you, however there are some things that are essential to complete. You may find it easier to be motivated for something that does not spark your interest if you adjust the conditions so that the task is more entertaining. For example, if you do not want to wash dishes and using the dishwasher is not an option, then perhaps turn on music or an audiobook and wash dishes while enjoying whatever audio you like to listen to. Motivation comes from many things and sometimes it helps to foresee the end results or what is to come of completing a task. This may help by taking your mind away from the immediate matter of having to do something that does not interest you. For example, if your television needs a minor fix that you can do on your own, telling yourself that the sooner you fix it the sooner you can watch television would be more helpful than dreading the task. Positive thinking helps with positive results.
