Motivation is an important component for personal growth and development. It is necessary to achieve goals, for successful work or study. Motivation is also important in creativity. But what if this internal engine suddenly stopped working? How to start it again?
Praise and approval. When a person is always dissatisfied with himself, constantly scolding himself for even the smallest mistakes, this gradually leads to the fact that the level of internal motivation becomes dull. Therefore, you need to learn to praise yourself every day. You can evaluate the progress in development or study by starting to compile lists of accomplished goals and realized plans (even the simplest and smallest). If it is not possible to keep such a "diary of success and progress" every day, then you need to fill it out at least once a week.
Pause life. Sometimes circumstances are such that, due to the load of a person, crazy fatigue just begins to prevail. Such a state blocks the fontanel of motivation and leads to complete decline and indifference to everything. Sometimes it is very useful to stop, catch your breath, be distracted and give yourself the opportunity to replenish the internal resources of forces.
Communication and surroundings. If among friends and relatives there are mainly people who do not aspire to develop and grow, who do not have motivation for something, but who are prone to passivity and laziness, their influence is very strong. The person inside whom the desire for any achievements was seething, becomes infected with a general sluggish mood and loses all motivation for action. Therefore, it is so important to communicate with people who are ready to move forward exclusively in life, who are not afraid to act and are able to conditionally share their inner motivation with the outside world.
The movement is only forward. Often passivity and doubt make it difficult to achieve any goals. They suppress even the strongest motivation. Therefore, scientists say that if there is any desire, it must be tried to realize in record time. Thoughts, attempts to weigh the pros and cons, as a rule, lead to the fact that a person begins to uselessly stagnate in one place. Therefore, looking for the answer to the question of how to develop motivation, the first thing to do is chop off all the paths to retreat. For example, having decided to immediately quit smoking, you need to get rid of cigarettes, lighters and even matches. Of course, in such a situation there is always the opportunity to break and run to the nearest store. Therefore, it will be useful to strengthen the internal motivation to get rid of a bad habit by some external stimulus.
No need to do what you don’t want to do at all. This rule, of course, cannot apply to any vital things; everyone must determine the boundaries of the installation for himself. However, any actions through the "can not" adversely affect the human psyche and can even undermine health. You need to be a little selfish and to a greater extent do what the soul lies to, what the arms reach for. Sometimes it is enough to be distracted for a short time by a sharply arisen need in order to return later to the main business, experiencing a strong surge of internal energy and the necessary motivation.
