It's not about the result I think. It's about whether I am trying enough or not. If I am satisfied with my work, I think that's the result. The result which is visible to public that can be important too. And I know failing decreases confidence. But we all are fighter. Let's try to fight once again. If a person is working hard enough, nothing can stop him/her. That's what I believe. When the result is not satisfactory one should try to find the mistakes and try to work harder next time. I am 100% sure s/he will see some change.

Think about teaming up with your future self! Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated in the moment so I try to think what future me would like to be able to say that I did. It can also be useful to think about the identity you'd like to become. For example, if I'm hoping to become more productive and focused, I like to ask myself "what would a productive and focused person do right now?" and that often helps me see a more clear path forward. It can also be useful to not focus on results, but focus on the actions you can take right now. When working towards a long term goal it may take a long time to see results, and that can be daunting. Instead of focusing on the specific outcome it can be nice to focus on the one thing you can do TODAY -- the small things add up and they are worth it :)

This can be a really difficult thing to go through because it's so easy to get disillusioned. The way I think about it is trying to come from a logical stand point and know that whatever I am doing is better than nothing. Internally, I know my body is undergoing change, but that isn't something that you necessarily see right away on the outside. Everyone's body changes at a different rate, and you have to be patient with yourself. After some time, you can reflect on your routine and see what is/isn't working for you and then adjust as necessary. Nothing happens overnight, and you can always adjust your plan as necessary. Allow yourself to try different routines, different schedules, and make mistakes! As long as you don't give up you are still on the path to progress!

I try not to put too much pressure on myself in the first place. I set goals and always aim to achieve them, but sometimes we all have days when we don't feel motivated to carry out tasks we have set ourselves. I always attempt to carry out the tasks I have set, I try, but if I simply cannot bring myself to carry it out then I don't beat myself up about it. I try again the next day. I find that when I do it this way, and refrain from putting unnecessary pressure eon myself, that when I do have good days, they are very good days. I end up doing five time the amount that I originally set out to do, but I feel good about it because I have chosen to achieve it.

Many times we are faced with several situations that cause our motivation to be shaken, so we soon find ourselves unmotivated and we no longer get around these situations and go on with life. You then ask yourself: What tools can I use to increase my motivation? Well, the first step is to think about where to start this change, as well as transform the feeling of discouragement, to be more motivated than ever. Thinking is always changing reality as well as changing our mood. The first step for any and all changes is to reflect on your own thinking, that is, when there is a thought that causes you to become demotivated quickly, replace it with another that makes you stop and reflect: Will this increase my motivation? If so, hold on to that thought whenever any negative thoughts come to mind. We know that motivation is such an important condition when it comes to achieving our goals. It is extremely important that we are always motivated! "If someone blocks the door, do not waste energy on the confrontation, look for the windows". - Augusto Cury Some advice to increase motivation is essential: 1 - Always learn, don't make the same mistake twice and learn from it. 2- Search for new alternatives. If you are facing a problem that seems unsolved, remember that there is always a solution, just look for it. 3 - Be the best student in life, because it is a constant learning, but little is taught to those who do not know how to be a good student. 4 - Happiness is in everyday life, just learn to see it. 5 - Have you tried anything new today? Get rid of your mania. Be flexible and cheerful. Get out of the routine now and then. 6 - Learn to love without expecting anything in return, this is a recipe for happiness and prevents great frustrations. 7- Things don't work out just for luck's sake, achievements depend 50% on inspiration, creativity and dreams, and 50% on discipline, hard work and determination. 8 - Don't worry about yesterday, it has passed; nor with tomorrow, for it is the unknown; live today and make things happen. 9 - Enjoy every second, live as if it were your last day. 10 - Each of us brings his beauty in his heart. Sharing this beauty with others is a job that will make you reap rewards, because when we share a positive thing, more positive things happen in our life. 11 - Positive thinking always! Thought is who controls everything and all aspects of our life. If we are always connected with our positive thoughts, the bad things will stay away from us! 12 - Being aware that everything we do, think and talk, whether good or bad, will come back to us, is the natural law of life. What we send out to the universe, it echoes and sends back. These are just a few steps we can take to increase our motivation. Believe, persist and insist!

Remember that there will always be failure before success. There will always be a mountain to climb before you reach the gold mine. One day you will wake up and you have reached the gold mine and you have succeeded. However make sure to keep setting new goals for your self to achieve. But keep them positive and reasonable. It is quite hard to stay motivated sometimes. It is like a cat and mouse game with motivation as the mouse. But if you bribe it with food and are kind to it you will catch it. So make sure to keep at it you got this!!!

Staying motivated is important. It helps us to move towards the goal. The problem is when we lack the energy or when we feel overwhelmed or when we feel that task is too difficult or boring, we tend to give up and search an easier task or a distraction. However, to stay motivated, we need to use the brain's instant gratification tendency to our advantage. We need sandwich the long-term beneficial tasks with the instantly gratifying tasks such as checking the mobile for a minute or so. We can excercise and then use mobile for a minute. That way, we will be motivated and also will be happy.

The first thing I do to stay motivated when I am not seeing results is to take a step back and properly assess the work I have put in and the outcomes. I have repeatedly found that when you're heavily focused on a goal and a specific outcome it is easy to miss other positive things you've done along the way. For example, if the goal was to lose weight but there was no evidence of results, you could step back and examine how you may be cooking healthier meals. Therefore, although the main goal may not have been achieved yet, you have acquired new skills that will help contribute to the end result. It can be hard to stay motivated when you're not immediately seeing result, but it is important to remind yourself that a lot of things take time and unfortunately don't happen as fast as we'd like. This can be easier said than done sometimes, but talking can help! Any of our trained listeners are happy to listen to any motivation problems you're having.

Results may not always be obvious and the fact that someone has been able to share their thoughts may in itself be a positive step for them even though there may not be an obvious solution to their situation. The motivation comes from being available and supportive to each and every member to offer the best opportunity for them to reach a more positive state through self enquiry. It is important to understand what the motivation actually is so that you have a point of reference to how well you may be performing and to set an appropriate level of expectation when talking to people.

Many people gets confused when it comes to how to handle the results when they are not to the mark they expected. But everyone needs to understand that it is not only our effort towards the situation that decide the result but the end result will get impacted by lot of other things which we don't have any control over. So putting our efforts is only one of the things that will impact the results. So the right way of approaching things is to this, No matter whatever be the result I get I will put my 100% efforts. Even if I get something less , I will be okay . This kind of approach will helps us to move on from the bitter situations there by not effecting our self confidence or self doubt issues. Only thing we can keep in our minds is putting our full efforts towards a task and not focussing or expecting about the result.
