We need to stay motivated. Find opportunities in this crisis. Build ourselves for a completely different future. Keep learning new things and updating ourselves to adapt to the transformation the world is going to face after this pandemic.
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. -Winston Churchill
However, 'stay motivated' is easier said than done. It is very obvious to feel a little low, a little tensed with the things going on in our surroundings. To feel as if, there's nothing left to do.
And that's why we have come up with a list of things that you can do to stay motivated.
Dig into the article to find out.
Here's how you can stay motivated and work towards achieving your goals:
1. Fix your goals first:
Make a list of goals that includes short-term and long-term goals
Try to do things that you like the most or something that keeps your mind fresh in the morning. For example, start your day with exercise and your favorite breakfast and then go on with your daily routine
Try to complete short goals. This will increase your confidence and you can go achieve your next target
If you have completed your short-term goals with dedication then you are only a few steps away from completing your long-term goals
Differentiate between your wants, needs, and desires. Choose the path that will lead you to complete needful tasks at first. This in turn will reduce your stress
2. Don’t Get Overwhelmed:
If you are stuck at some point, relax, take a break. Go back and start again. Don't be stressed. Don't get overwhelmed.
These points will help you to keep yourself on track and stay motivated:
Take a break for a while and reorganize all your thoughts
Break your task into smaller parts so that you can notice where you made a mistake. Doing this will also allow you to rectify your mistakes without a lot of hard work
3. Don’t get demotivated:
Some of the reasons that can be the cause of demotivation are as follows:
Your goals are not clearly set
There is no clarity or vision in what you want to do
You feel alone and try to avoid people
If you are surrounded by negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, or stress
Lack of confidence
In order to avoid all these and increase your level of motivation, set realistic goals. Clearly defined goals will in turn show you a clear path to achieve them. Challenge yourself to complete those within time.
Open up in front of people. Express yourself. Express your ideas. This can make you feel confident and motivated. People will eventually notice your strengths and appreciate you for your good work.
4. Make a chart:
Make a chart of your goal and pin that chart in your room.
By the end of the day write a note on what you have done to achieve your goal on that day. This will help you to stay motivated and track your success
Maintain a journal
5. Reward Yourself and Others:
Make a promise to yourself that after doing a certain task in time, you will treat yourself. It will help you to boost up your mood and your energy.
Implement the reward system for major tasks that you need to get done. This way, you can be your own reason for your happiness.
No matter how small of a reward you decide to give yourself but make sure that it acts as a stress buster for you.
You can also do this for your co-workers and friends. You can reward your co-workers so that they will also feel motivated in doing their work and you will also feel satisfied with what you have done.
6. Try to learn from your mistakes:
Figure out where you went wrong. Find out the reason behind the mistake.
Don't blame yourself for not being able to get a task done. It is okay to make mistakes.
Don't be too harsh on yourself. Make sure you learn from these mistakes and don't repeat them again.
7. Together you can!:
Many times you try to do things all by yourself. Alone. Hesitating to ask for help.
You can get a job done all by yourself sometimes. But sometimes, you require inputs from others.
Ask for an expert opinion. It will give you many new and efficient ideas to do a particular task. You will get encouragement and ideas to boost the quality and speed of your work.
It will also benefit the organization and improve your knowledge of a particular subject.
