Here are my top three tips that can help you motivate yourself when you feel unmotivated and demotivated:
- Break the task into small steps: Sometimes, big tasks can be daunting and overwhelming, and it can be easy to get discouraged before you even start. Break the task into smaller steps and tackle one step at a time. This will help you feel accomplished with each small task you complete and give you momentum to keep going.
- Find inspiration: Think about what inspires you and try to find ways to connect with that inspiration. For example, if you find music motivating, make a playlist of upbeat songs that get you pumped up. Alternatively, if you find quotes inspiring, create a collage of your favourite quotes and hang it somewhere visible.
- Reward yourself: Give yourself some small incentives to keep you motivated. It doesn't have to be anything big—a cup of your favourite tea or a short break to watch a funny video can go a long way in motivating you to keep going.
