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

Remeber results don't happen instantly. They take lots of hard work and patience. The very hardest part is starting to get things moving. It's like pushing a broken-down car. Once it finally gets rolling it's much easier to keep it rolling. Don't give up. Things that seem impossible today can become a reality tomorrow with determination. Many people that are great and famous for what they do are there because they worked harder than anyone else to get there. If there is something you truly want, you can get there. It may take some trial and error, and some time, but you can do it.

You have to find a way to enjoy the process of reaching your goals. Success is not always linear there are ups and downs along the way. A lot of times you have to experience the downs to know what the ups feel like. Life is just this journey that we are all on. This journey isn't a competition and you should never really compare yourself to other human creatures. Relax and look at your life from an open perspective and you'll find that everything is just perfect and everything is going to be alright. Smile more!

I like to place sticky notes where I will see them. They are like a little pep talk throughout the day reminding me that things take time. Sometimes if I have worked for a while at something and do not see results I forget that it takes time to change or I lose track of what I am doing and why I was doing it. These little reminders are really helpful in keeping on track. It basically helps me reaffirm my goal and refuel my motivation for what my goal, or goals are! It is a great way for positive affirmation too.

Change in perspective. When I'm not seeing results, I try to take a step back and identify even the smallest accomplishments. Once I'm able to identify all the little things I was able to accomplish (from just getting out of bed to doing all house chores), I'm able to build a momentum. This momentum is what contributes to getting my motivation back. It's all a matter of perspective. To some people, getting out of bed just a no-brainer. To some, it's the biggest challenge they may be facing. Being able to celebrate small wins is what allows for a positive shift in perspective and ultimately, keeping your motivation.

Give myself feedback every now and then and see what happens with every step to find what is not working out exactly. To be clear I set goal for myself to pave the path as a start, I consider the multiple routes I can take and from there I test the routes. If the first route works for me I keep going until I feel that it reached its limit I take the other route and so on. Another way to stay motivated is remembering why I started whatever it I am doing in the first place, that is the ultimate push to keep going especially if you have gone far with it.

Think of your overall goal and how happy you're going to be once you achieve that overall goal. Take every step in mentally, physically, and emotionally. Realize how much closer you're getting through every step you're taking, you're getting that much closer to your big goal. Take a moment to realize your goal is possible and you're going to get there despite your obstacles during the process. Sometimes you may not always see results, but in others eyes, they see a change. Results may also take time, not everything can change overnight, so keep your patience throughout your journey! You got this!

Staying motivated without seeing the direct results is hard. I've definitely experienced this in my personal life. The easiest way to stay motivated without seeing the results is to look at the POTENTIAL results. Watch inspirational videos, listen to music, give yourself rewards for following through. You have to train your mind before you can see the change. Results will come, you just have to be confident in your ability and really hone in on focusing on the potential results. If you want it, force yourself to do small steps that will lead to the bigger ones. It's hard, but its worth it.

From my experience, it is good to "reframe" the goal. Say, I want to lose weight, but these excess 10 kgs won't go away in a week of diet and exercise. And it's something you know very well but after three days of trying you can't see the results and it demotivates you. Make your goal easier by reframing it into, for example, "I will do two push-ups every day". In that way, you will see the results every day, like "I did it today! I can do it tomorrow too!". Tomorrow you can do 9 the day after tomorrow 32, and the day after only 2, and it still counts, you did the amount you promised, you can always do more, but never less. Make that your goal, a puzzle made of a tiny habits that are easy to do, and soon you'll realize you can do 100 push-ups, and those 10 kg have just gone away. Hope this helps!

I recommend joining a facebook group or another community for working out. You can post about your progress and your issues and the community will support you! I find that being around something a lot motivates people to do it, so surrounding yourself with people who have similar goals and will hype you up can be super helpful! Also, writing down a routine can help you stay organized and motivate you to complete a workout program or each day's grind. Some other stuff that could help are friends to work out with and great workout music. As to why you aren't seeing results, nutritious diets can boost your progress significantly and also improve your mood. If you are trying to lose weight, the number on the scale can be misleading. You can gain muscle mass while losing fat, which is a good thing. Stay positive and always have a goal in mind. You can do it!

The results are not what you do compared to others. the results are what you do compared to yourself. just trust in yourself. even though the results may not be visible something is happening. I have gone through the same situation. going through actually. here I am guessing that from how do I stay motivated you are meaning how do I don't give up when things are not going the way you want them to. but remember one thing. trying not to to and not failing is thousand times worser than trying to do something and failing. just make sure that you have no regrets that you didn't try your best.
