No one can motivate you better than yourself

        Life is full of complex twists and twirls. We often face the obstacles which overwhelm us and make us question about our ability to cross them. Whether it is about performing a drama, going to the job interview, or climbing a mountain, we might think that we cannot complete the task no matter how hard we try.

        Some situations are enough to depress us so much that we don’t even want to face the world and simply close the door. It is actually amusing to realize that even the sunny sky appears to be full of clouds which might rain anytime. In such a situation, nothing feels alright and we don’t want anything more than just to isolate ourselves. Even eating by ourselves becomes difficult and we wish for someone to just show us the right direction.

        There are also times when we are questioning our luck. However, we don’t know that there are millions of others facing difficulties which are far harder than ours. Moreover, they are not even giving up like us.

        In order to really clear the challenge, we should be motivated enough. Believe me when I say that just by motivating yourself, you think that the task has become easier. Now, the question remains just how you can motivate yourself.

How to motivate yourself

        Commonly, when we seek motivation, we simply visit the internet and start to see some motivational videos. Some others might try to check out motivational quotes about hurdles. For sure, they can boost your ability to jump over the hurdle but it doesn’t last for a long period.

        Just try and watch a motivational video and start working. You might be able to solve the first problem but as soon as the difficulty is increased, you will find your motivation disappearing. The situation is completely different when you are motivating yourself.

        You might think that you cannot motivate yourself but every new thing appears to be tough at first. However, motivating yourself is not only easier but it also lasts longer compared to when you are watching videos or reading motivational quotes. The key to self-motivation is to think about the reason why you even thought about taking this approach. There must be some reason why you thought that this direction is the most suitable for me.

         For instance, if you are doing a job and you are unable to motivate yourself, you should think about why you joined in the first place. Maybe you wanted to make sure that you are not living in poverty again or maybe you aim to deliver a better lifestyle to your family. Believe me, this approach is the most effective because it evokes the emotions which are deeper than the ones which are evoked by motivational videos.

Then think about what you have already been through to get to this stage and how it would be like to go back now. It will drive you enough to complete the task.
