What they never taught you about being motivated

Are you familiar with the struggle to stay motivated without guidance or direction? Now, you might wonder what it means to stay motivated. Staying motivated means keeping our energy and focusing on our goals, even when things get tough, or we feel like giving up. It's like being a superhero and being determined to achieve what we set out to do.


Let me give you a simple example. Imagine you're learning to ride a bike, and you want to be able to do it all by yourself. But every time you try, you fall off and get frustrated. That's when staying motivated comes in - instead of giving up, you keep trying! You don't let the obstacles get in your way, and you keep your eye on your goal until you achieve it.


Here are some fun ways to stay motivated:

  • Make a sticker chart: Every time you progress towards your goal, put a sticker on the chart. Seeing all those stickers collected in one place can be a great motivator to keep going.

  • Create a vision board: Cut out pictures or draw things that represent your goal and put them on a board. Hang the board somewhere you can see it every day, and it will help remind you why you're working so hard to achieve your goal.

  • Set mini-goals: Instead of focusing only on the big goal, break it down into achievable mini-goals in less time. Celebrate and reward yourself each time you reach a mini-goal, giving you the momentum to keep going towards the big goal.


Remember, staying motivated is about being determined, focusing on our goals, and not giving up even when things get tough. So, keep going, and you can accomplish anything you want!
