How do I independently motivate myself?

One thing at a time. Make a goal. And then keep a daily log of actions you take to achieve that goal. I like to keep it simple, and just write down what I worked on, and how long I worked on it. Then a month from now, even if you haven't yet achieved your goal, you'll be able to review the log and actually see how you've progressed. You'll be amazed when you add up the hours, and seeing how far you've come will motivate you further and give you faith in the process that you're developing. Keeping the log will help you find out what is and isn't working. And when you see that the log has a few blank days in a row, that should motivate you to get back to work.

This can be difficult. Not having a support system around you can make it difficult to stay motivated. But it's not impossible, because the only person that can really motivate you, is you. Consider reminding yourself of your goals when you're feeling down. Watch motivational videos if you're interested in those. Celebrate your little "wins" so you stay on track and motivated towards your goals. In addition, try not to put too much burden on yourself - one step at a time - because it might exhaust you out you'll be burnout in no time. Lastly, trust yourself and the process.

Time and again, we face many obstacles on our path and journey towards some goals we are trying to achieve, and while it's okay to rely on external motivation, the real deal is when one is self motivated, when the motivation comes from within, we really try our best to achieve those goals. One can independently motivate themselves by reminding them what makes the goal so important for them, is it something they really look forward to and want to achieve , if the answer's Yes, You got your own motivation, the task itself , the impact that task or goals might have in our lives determine how willing we are to achieve it and if that's something important and crucial to us, We got this necessary motivation to keeep going till we complete that task or achieve that goal ! Positive affirmations and rewards on small victories, works well too ❤🌻

Everybody has a different way they get motivated. And to find a way that works for you, we need to look a bit into various aspects of motivation. There is intrinsic (the one where you are motivated because you are interested or enjoy doing something) and extrinsic (the one where you are motivated with something outside your interests as some kind of award (money, compliments from others, etc.) or expectations of society and other). It would be great that we all have intrinsic motivation without the need for outside awards, but let's be real, most of the things we have to do aren't that enjoyable and intersting. So for the beginning of the motivational process, I'd recommend experimenting with various external factors to find what award system is suited to you. For example, if you struggle with motivation for studying some experts recommend making studying fun (e.g. making a song out of the material you need to learn) or rewarding yourself with something sweet after you finish let say 50 pages. If you have no idea what rewards to use, try getting to know the topic a bit more, and also it is possible to google "how to motivate myself to ___"

Sometimes I find it very hard to start something. I basically trick myself to start "playing around" with it. So, if I have a big writing project, I'll take a piece of paper and create some "bubbles" of ideas. Or if I have a creative project I'll look at some books that might be inspiring. I then find that I keep going. Launching right into the meat of things can be too intimidating. As a creative, breaking things down into little pieces doesn't always work either (though it's a good practice). I find just saying to myself, well, give it a go for a few minutes helps.

"Nut up or shut up!" Do it, it works. It really does. Just give it a shot, repeat it as often as you need to in order to get that motivation going.

I look at each day as a new start and new opportunities and try things, meet new people If you see rain look rainbows if see darkness like for the stars

Making goals, keeping track of them by working towards them, and working towards them by setting out a step by step plan.

Find what you love doing, me personally, I like eating, every time I do something like tidy my room or finish a chapter in a revision book I reword myself with a handful of jelly beans or nuts or fruit

I am not an expert on the matter, but I believe setting life goals that make you really excited about the future can help. Throughout my years in college I found it difficult to stay motivated when it felt like there was no end to the amount of stress that came about because of work, school, and the future. However, instead of just not thinking about these things I decided to face them head on and ask myself what I would like to happen. I set goals that would require me to work hard in those areas so that I could reach my dreams. The more extravagant the dream or goal, the better. Dreams of living luxuriously and having the money to travel have kept me in college and helped me reach my last semester. Goal setting can work wonders for motivation. Even if the goal seems small.
