Motivation is an essential component for personal growth and development. It is necessary for achieving goals, for successful work or study. Motivation is also important in creativity. But what if such an internal engine suddenly stopped working? How do I start it again?
Praise and approval. When a person is always dissatisfied with himself, constantly scolds himself for some even the smallest mistakes, this gradually leads to the fact that the level of internal motivation is dulled. Therefore, you need to learn to praise yourself every day. You can assess progress in development or learning by starting to compile lists of goals achieved and implemented ideas (even the smallest and simplest). If it is not possible to keep such a "diary of success and progress" every day, then you need to fill it out at least once a week.
Pause life. Sometimes circumstances develop in such a way that, due to the load of a person, insane fatigue simply begins to overcome. Such a state blocks the fontanel of motivation and leads to complete decline and indifference to everything. Sometimes it is very useful to stop, catch your breath, distract yourself and give yourself the opportunity to replenish internal resources of strength.
Communication and environment. If among friends and relatives there are mainly people who do not strive to develop and grow, who do not have motivation for anything, but are inclined to passivity and laziness, their influence is very strong. A person, inside of whom the desire for any achievement was initially seething, becomes infected with a general sluggish mood and loses any motivation for action. Therefore, it is so important to communicate with people who are ready to move through life exclusively forward, who are not afraid to act and are able to conditionally share their inner motivation with the outside world.
Moving forward only. Often, passivity and doubts prevent you from achieving any goals. They suppress even the strongest motivation. That is why scientists argue that if a desire has appeared, it should be tried to be realized in record time. Reflections, attempts to weigh all the pros and cons, as a rule, lead to the fact that a person begins to uselessly stagnate in one place. Therefore, looking for an answer to the question of how to develop motivation, the first thing to do is to chop off all escape routes. For example, having made a decision to urgently quit smoking, you need to get rid of cigarettes, lighters and even matches. Of course, in such a situation, there is always the opportunity to break loose and run to the nearest store. Therefore, it will be useful to strengthen the internal motivation to get rid of the bad habit with some external stimulus.
You don’t need to do what you don’t want to do. This rule, of course, cannot apply to any vital things, everyone must determine the boundaries of the installation for himself. However, any actions through "I can not" negatively affect the human psyche and may even undermine health. You need to be a little selfish and do more to what the soul lies, to which the hands reach. Sometimes it is enough to be briefly distracted by a sudden need in order to later return to the main business, experiencing a strong surge of internal energy and the necessary motivation.
