| Thread

Staying motivated until you reach your goals isn’t always easy.

There are often roadblocks along the way where you can get into a slump.

So let’s look at the 12 techniques whenever you're feeling a lack of motivation,

And want to get out of your rut…

Psychology Ways to Bring Back Motivation:

1. Avoid negativity
2. Create a goal
3. Change your routine
4. Spend some time outside
5. Meet up with your friends
6. Get offline
7. Commit to something
8. Help someone else
9. Surround yourself with positive people
10. Take baby steps

1. Stop putting words into negative thoughts.

Saying negative things,

Puts them out into the universe and they can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Instead, be aware of this passing thought and replace it with something positive.

2. Create one goal.

If you try to take on too much,

you can’t maintain the focus that you need to get anything actually accomplished.

Choose just one goal to give your full focus to.

When you take on too much, you certainly won’t get anything done well.

3. Change your routine.

We are very much creatures of habit,

and this repetition can get boring.

To break up the monotony,

find ways to add new experiences to your day.

4. Spend some time outside.

Studies have found that people who spend time in natural environments,

have a decreased likelihood of developing depression and other mental illnesses
then those who tend to stay locked up inside.

5. Meet up with your friends.

Human interaction is one of the best things you can do to overcome your rut,

even if socializing feels like the last thing you want to do.

Your friendships can help you feel a deeper sense of belonging

and a greater sense of purpose!

6. Get offline.

Even if this is just for a day or two, take a break from the (often negative) internet.

Try to focus on yourself instead.

Whenever you do return to the online world,

Be more deliberate about the things that you read.

7. Commit to something.

Make “one day” happen today.

This will help to easily switch up your routine,

Because it is obviously something you haven’t done in a while (or ever).

8. Help someone else.

If you’re lacking motivation
because you don’t feel like you’re getting much out of your life or your career,

Doing something without expecting to get anything in return can be eye-opening.

9. Surround yourself with positive people.

Think about the people that you CHOOSE to spend your time with.

Are they making a positive change to the world?

Or do they feel passionate about the work that they do?

Make sure you’re surrounding yourself with inspiring people.

10. Don’t ignore the small pleasures in your life.

When you have no motivation to do anything,

you may view your tasks and commute and routine at home to be extremely bland.

Focus on the highlights that are still in your life.

11. Take baby steps.

Start small with a step that you know you can accomplish
without waiting around for the motivation to hit you.

Force yourself to start a new hobby.

This will boost your sense of intrinsic motivation,

and help you enjoy the process of what you’re doing.

12. Write down your goals every day.

You need to remind yourself of why you get up,

& do what you do each day and what you’re ultimately working towards.

If you keep reminding yourself of your goal,

you won’t lose sight of it and you will stay optimistic about getting moving.
