- How to motivate yourself to do something? - No way, stay in the ass! Artemy Lebedev In the last publication I talked about 5 effective methods of motivation, be sure to study it if you haven’t already. In fact, there are many more methods of motivation, so why are people still interested in this topic? To begin with, it is important to understand how motivation works. Motivation is how much energy and resources your brain will allocate to engage in an activity. In other words, this is the desire and readiness to do something. And now the main thing is that if the task is unimportant or unattainable, our consciousness places it on a distant shelf, and allocates motivation to those things that are truly valuable. Therefore, the first point in the absence of motivation is to check significance and achievability. The last point may be a failure, the matter may be too big and if there are tasks that are more achievable, you will always be more motivated for them. For example, getting a visa or taking an advanced training course are achievable goals, but long-term, which means they can be postponed to the last, doing something more relevant. Tip one: trick your mind by breaking a big goal into small steps. Motivation also works in the opposite direction. If you start doing something, methodically do small, easy tasks, the desire to continue arises by itself .Tip two: try to start, the appetite will come while eating. Tip three: always do a little more, using the motivation that appeared in the process. By the way, a positive attitude will also help the matter. Dejection is an incredibly energy-consuming state in which it is completely impossible to find the strength to start any activity. But if a person is positive and inspired, then it is much easier for him to achieve success. Tip four: maintain a positive attitude. But the main advice is to understand yourself and learn psychological literacy. It’s also very important to develop your brain and understand how human psychology works. Tell me, how are you doing with motivation? Is it difficult for you to start taking action?
