Whatever you are working towards it is important to continually take steps towards success and find ways to improve yourself along the way.
Getting motivated is easy. But staying motivated, even under the best possible circumstances, is hard. More than 90 percent of people who set out to make a resolution this year will fail. But not you! Here are 5 Motivational Tips to help you stay on top of your goals and improve yourself everyday:
1. Set Specific Goals And Write Them Down
According to a study done by Gail Matthews at Dominican University, those who wrote down their goals accomplished significantly more than those who did not. And the more specific they were, the more likely the individual was to accomplish them. If your only measurement of success is whether or not you achieve some big, final result, you may find it difficult to stay motivated. This is why it is so important to set incremental goals within your bigger goals.
2. Surround Yourself With People Who Will Push You to be Better
Whatever you are trying to do to accomplish your goals, chances are there are other people doing the same. Surround yourself with individuals who already have the qualities you wish to possess. In a 2014 study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, researchers discovered that when it came to resisting temptations like skipping the gym or drinking one too many cocktails friends are often more likely to sin together.
3. Take Care of Yourself
Sometimes, we spend so much time focusing on the work of meeting our goals that we overburden ourselves, and we end up burning out. While it is very important to work very hard, it is also important to take of yourself in the meantime. This means getting enough sleep, leaving time to interact with loved ones, and engaging in hobbies and other activities that we enjoy.
4. Learn New Things and Accept Challenges
One of the great things about self improvement is that one action taken to improve yourself tends to boost your motivation, and increase your chances of successfully achieving your other goals. Learning new things and accepting new challenges are two great ways to do this.
5. Be a Source of Positive Energy for Other People
When it comes to motivation and inspiration, you really do get what you give. So, be encouraging when others tell you about their goals, and curb your own tendencies to complain or be a downer. When you do this, you create positive energy within your inner circle. That uplifts everybody including you.
