How do you motivate yourself to keep going?

[Kulotz]

When you don't feel that way, how do you manage to keep being motivated? In other words, how do you motivate yourself when you are exhausted?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I say fuck motivation. You don't need that shit. If you feel like you need motivation and it's not coming to you, what you need to do is clear your mind and hyper fixate on the next thing you need to do.

Feeling unmotivated happens when you have no direction.

You're too unmotivated to start a business but you're motivated enough to keep working a job you hate to keep the bills paid right?

How is the energy you spend different?

Once you understand the answer to that question, motivation will become trivial to you.

I think motivation is a personal thing that you must identify within yourself. For me, that is the desire to overcome adversity and push through challenge, resistance, or obstacles. The need to just persevere burns in me and becomes the motivation I need to stoke the fires of my mind.

I enjoy writing things down on a planner, creating my own excel sheet, or little chart obtaining goals, steps, timelines, and the purpose of it. Then, I reflect on my progress and treat myself on what I’ve achieved in short-term and long-term goals. I like reading positive and motivational quotes that keeps me going too. Making those goals into a lifestyle or routine also helps create consistency.

Well, first I cry.
after that, I usually write down what I need to achieve and the steps I need to take to get there. I tell myself to be realistic in terms of time frame but not get carried away with giving myself 3 months for something that takes 2 days. Then I cry a little bit more.
then I start the process.

It will seem a bit silly but it works for me.
In order to practice or to keep going i just tell myself "Just a little bit more, just do it for a few minutes, anything is better than nothing" and the minutes turn into hours eventually and I manage to practice or to exercise or any other thing I plan on doing.
It is just the way I have programmed my brain to keep doing things.

I remember my why? Why am I here doing what I am doing, I also go back to God's word in the Bible and hear what he has to say about my situation things like Colossians 3 vs 17 and vs 23. But also when i'm weary Jesus says to me in Matthew 11 vs 28 Come to me all you who labor and are heavy burdened...

[Agape93]

I don't allow myself another option. If I say I'll do something, then the matter is settled.

[MemeSupreme]

gotta distract yourself with nice shit

refresh the mind

[TommyMountainFigure]

By doing what has to be done. That's all there is to it..

[exitseven]

I think about how good it will be once I finish the particular task I am working on. It is not a perfect system because sometimes I decide to do it later. I have been putting off doing my taxes.

[Justneedtokno]

Sit myself down and figure out what do I wanna do what makes me excited to do things surround myself with family and friends and people that love me and want to see me do better life DD because I’m still working on it

[IslaTheWitch]

if I'm exhausted, I take a break. I'm not productive in such a state, so it's unfair to pretend I work or do something.

[Pohjolan]

It not a matter of motivation but discipline.

[Flatmanlewis]

This.

[V_Injector]

I don't. I just pretend I coomed and then roll over and go to sleep.

[genericname85]

simple. just ask why. why are you doing this? what's the goal and does the thing you're doing help you reach the goal.
