How Motivate Yourself Every Single Day? (Daily Motivation Tips)
Each and every one of us has those days when we’re just not feeling it. We’re mentally and physically drained, and the last thing we want to do is crawl out of bed and tackle the day. Unfortunately, we don’t have the luxury to stay-in-bed all day and we need a daily dose of motivation.
When this happens, it’s time to use these simple techniques to help you overcome that emotional hurdle and get daily motivation:
Review Your Goals First Thing in the Morning and Pick One Thing
Sometimes life just gets in the way and distracts us from accomplishing goals or tasks. To stay on track, review your goals when you first wake-up in the morning and start working on one of your most important goals, and put a plan in place to achieve that one goal.
Reduce the Daily Distractions
When you have easily accessible distractions all around you then it becomes hard to focus. So shut the door to your office. Put your smartphone in silent mode at the other end of your workspace or home.
Don’t Forget About the Breaks
Few things can in my experience drain the daily motivation like just working non-stop. Instead, work for 45 minutes each hour and use the rest for a break where you eat a snack, get out for some fresh air, or do a bit of stretching. You’ll — perhaps somewhat counter-intuitively — get more done in a day and week and do work of higher quality because your energy, focus, and motivation will simply last longer.
Compare Yourself to Yourself and See How Far You Have Come
Instead of deflating yourself and your motivation by comparing yourself to others who are so far ahead of you.
Reward Yourself and Celebrate Your Successes
If you’re looking forward to a nice reward that you’re getting yourself after you’re done with a task or a project, then your motivation tends to go up. If you celebrate success in some other way by for example by taking 1 minute to appreciate what you did or by telling someone about your success, then that also usually recharges motivation and positivity. So dangle those carrots and celebrate to keep your motivation up.
Play Music That Gives You Energy
One of the simplest things I do when I feel low in energy or motivation is to play the music that is upbeat and/or inspires me in some way. A break with a few songs or working while listening to them for a while usually works well.
Be Grateful for What You Got
When motivation is running low then it’s easy to start seeing your life and the aspects of it through a negative lens. To put your focus on what you still have and who you are — and to recharge with positivity and motivation - ask yourself a question like: What are 3 things I sometimes take for granted but can be grateful for in my life?
Exercise
Working out doesn’t just affect your body. I find that just 20–30 minutes of lifting free weights releases inner tensions and stress and makes me feel more focused once again.
