Tips To Get Back Your Motivation
Life comes in waves and although it may feel like you’re sinking under, know that what goes down will eventually make its way back to the top.
There is a fire in all of us and there always has been. Becoming too fixated on our failures can make it hard to find that fire or even believe that a fire exists but it does.
Tips to get back your motivation
Life comes in waves
There’s no perfect remedy or magical switch that can instantly bring those feelings of motivation back into our lives.
For some people, it takes something traumatic to occur to reignite that fire; whereas for others, it takes reconnecting to the things and people who ground them.
Just remember:
- Taking two steps back isn’t considered a failure, it’s an observation.
- Reaching out to others isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s self-growth.
- Losing motivation doesn’t mean you’re off track, it’s a temporary standstill.
Keep in mind that your definition of failure can also be limited to your own beliefs and what you would consider it to be. As humans, it’s natural to be hard on ourselves, but self-compassion also means being a friend to ourselves.
Change your focus
Sometimes, we get caught up in this cycle of how’s to rather than the do’s which is more of a distraction than a motivation.
Other times, we don’t even notice how much focus we’re putting on one particular part of our journey or project without taking a few steps back to see the overall picture. Most times, we focus on our failures and why we haven’t reached that goal versus looking at all the baby steps that matter and they matter.
Listen to your inner
There’s an inner needle within all of us, which we may either not pay much attention to. There’s much truth to the saying, “you need to take care of yourself before you can take care of others,” but here’s the irony sometimes the motivation lies behind the person you are motivated by.
Listen to that needle and find those qualities within yourself and believe they truly exist. In order to do this, try putting yourself in the shoes of someone you admire.
