Stagnation in work or personal life, loss of motivation and procrastination are temporary and can happen to many. And people react to such circumstances in different ways - someone begins to dig themselves, and someone blames everyone around. In order not to fall into the trap of thoughts, it is enough to know the true reasons that hinder success.
Illusory dreams
Of course, dreaming is more beneficial than harmful. Many dreams become goals, and then you achieve them. However, we often meet people who are not ready to do anything for the sake of their dreams. For example, wanting an expensive car, but not even trying to calculate how much money will be required for it and how soon it will be possible to purchase it. Such people fall into the trap of the illusory world they have created and do not even try to do something that they have not done before. And dreams remain dreams.
Lack of concentration
Social media is more than just communication. Extensive news feeds consume our time. And many become really addicted. Instead of getting the job done, many people flip through endless news feeds and then are surprised that the job was not completed on time, and the dishes remained dirty in the sink. There is a “tomato method” to increase productivity. It got its name from the timer, which was made in the form of a small tomato. The essence of the method is that you work hard for 20 minutes, and spend the next 10 minutes at your own discretion. This could be watching a movie clip, researching the news, or using gadgets.
Failure to follow through and accept responsibility
Have you ever had a situation where you started to do several things at the same time and did not finish a single one? It can be anything - start losing weight on Monday, go to the gym from the first day, get up earlier, and so on. Sucks here alone - do not rush from one extreme to another. Have you decided to radically change your lifestyle? Start small, such as exercising in the morning. As soon as you understand that the change has taken root, enter the following. There is no need to rush.
Learn to take responsibility for your actions, because blaming other people will not change anything. Accepting your mistakes and dealing with them is the first and most important step on the road to success.
Lack of support
When your interests do not coincide with those of your loved ones, it is sad. Misunderstanding and lack of support will not play into your hands, but you should not chop off the shoulder. If you are in the mood for a certain occupation and have already weighed all the pros and cons, then you should discuss your decision with your family, but in no case enter into a conflict. Adults must find a compromise.
Self-digging and finding the culprit
Self-digging is one of the extremes to be avoided. The more you do this, the deeper you plunge into the problem, this attitude is fixed in your consciousness and it becomes more and more difficult for you to get out of this pit of the subconscious. Introspection is okay and helps us identify strengths and weaknesses, but you shouldn't get carried away with it.
The same can be said about finding the culprit. How often do you hear that everyone is to blame - parents, teachers, neighbors, the state, that a person has not achieved success? He did not receive a proper education, did not get a prestigious job. Success directly depends on a person's efforts and blaming someone is at least strange. Soberly assess your efforts and capabilities.
Unreality of goals
Motivation is very often lost when we set ourselves unrealistic goals, we cannot assess the resources necessary to achieve. In the end, we fail. And we give up this case. But, alas, we do not analyze our actions. Someone, after several failures, stops trying, and someone continues to move forward, no matter what. And these are the people who will be successful.
