Einstein once said "Nothing Happens Until Something Moves." But sometimes taking the first step seems beyond our strength.
1. Think again what the word "motivation" means. Sometimes "motivated" means fully ready for action, and sometimes only ready for one step. When we lie buried in the sheets in front of the TV, the vision of the training we have promised or learning is abstract. But getting out of bed and wearing a sports outfit is at your fingertips. We may sometimes be motivated by a very small step, good planning, or even avoiding a situation that discourages us even more.
2. Get hold of small things. Share tasks for parts and reward for them. Preparing books to learn on a day when you do not want anything is already a small victoria. Do something really small, not requiring energy.
3. Clean up. Sometimes it's best to start with small "changes" - shower, breakfast, fresh clothes. Such activities increase the probability that your work will be more effective. It really works - by clearing your space, you clean your mind ...
4. Be understanding to yourself. Too often we are for ourselves, sharp, unpleasant, we force ourselves to be motivated, because it is so necessary. "What's wrong with me? It's only an hour of work. It's so simple". If someone else talked to you like that, it would be very likely to cause sadness or anger. Maybe it's worth talking to yourself as a best friend and remembering how good you will feel when you complete the task and achieve success.
5. Do not wait for motivation! One of the biggest myths we believe in is the one that we always have to be willing to work. It's not true. Think about all the things that you do, even though you do not want to - getting up on a rainy Monday morning, arranging meetings with your doctor. Although we do not want to, we do them. And so it is with everything - training, learning, cleaning. We do not have to want. We just have to take the first step and then the second one. If you take a step, motivation and willingness will appear.
