7 Ways To Motivate Yourself Every Day

7 Ways To Motivate Yourself Every Day

1. Make a list 

Writing a to-do list with everything that needs to be completed within a certain time frame can help you retain focus on the bigger picture.  Write a daily task list. Mark off the tasks as you complete them. As you mark each task off your list, you will stay motivated to finish the list. Completion is an ultimate motivator. 

2. Break down larger tasks 

The idea of larger projects can seem overwhelming. When you become overwhelmed with the idea of something, you are likely to fail at getting the project done.  When you break down bigger missions into smaller portions, you will become more successful at completing the entire project. 

3. Reduce distractions 

Reducing the disturbance in the immediate vicinity of where you are trying to get something done can increase your motivation, extremely. Diminishing things such as time spent on your phone, watching tv, social media, also; distractions from co-workers, family or friends. 

4. Getting plenty of rest 

Sleep is a monumental importance for staying motivated. When you don’t sleep long enough or have a very interrupted night of sleep, you will remain tired throughout the day. Not getting enough sleep leaves you tired and you don’t physically have the energy to complete your tasks through the day. So, sleep, and rest well during the night. Wake up refreshed and motivated! 

5. Set goals

Although getting small things completed through the day can be daunting. What about those larger than life goals? Going to college, saving for an adventure, moving to a dream location; those are some hefty things that you want to do, but how? Setting a large goal can help you stay motivated to earn the money, get the degree, planning the adventure. Setting a goal and obtaining it, is an amazing motivator. 

 6. Having friendly competition

Do you have a friend that has the same ambition as you to get something done?  Why not make it a friendly game of who can complete it first? For an example, having a work-out friend that can compete with you for the shortest mile ran, the heaviest weight lifted, or who can lose the most weight. Making it a fun game or competition can help you say motivated. 

7. Rewarding yourself 

Don’t take the small things for granted. If you worked hard to complete a goal, finish a hard task, or just getting through your entire to-do list, reward yourself. Your reward doesn’t have to be extravagant, just buy yourself your favorite coffee or a new shirt. Take yourself to the movies or dinner. 

The daily grind can be hard, but if you stay motivated it is the most rewarding thing to complete.
