Ways to Motivate Yourself: “Opportunities don't happen, you create them.”

By Oliver Henry

Motivation is the driving force behind our actions and behaviors. It is the fuel that propels us forward towards achieving our goals and aspirations. However, sometimes we find ourselves lacking in motivation, feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. In such instances, it is important to take a step back, reflect on our goals, and work on motivating ourselves to push through the obstacles and challenges that may be hindering our progress. In this article, we will explore various strategies that can be employed to motivate oneself.
Setting clear and specific goals is essential in motivating oneself. A goal that is vague or lacks clarity can be demotivating and may cause us to lose interest in pursuing it. Therefore, it is important to take the time to define our goals clearly, making them specific and measurable. For example, instead of setting a goal to "lose weight," a more specific and measurable goal would be "to lose 10 pounds in the next 3 months." This way, we have a clear target to aim for, and we can track our progress along the way.
Once we have set clear goals, the next step is to develop a plan of action. A plan provides us with a roadmap to achieving our goals and helps us stay on track. It is important to break down our goals into smaller, more manageable tasks that we can work on each day. This helps to prevent overwhelm and makes the task at hand seem more achievable. For example, if our goal is to write a book, we can break it down into smaller tasks such as writing a certain number of words each day or outlining the plot.
Finding our "why" is crucial in motivating ourselves. Our "why" is our reason for pursuing a particular goal, and it is what gives us the drive and determination to keep going. It is important to take the time to reflect on why we want to achieve a particular goal and what it means to us. Our "why" can be anything from personal fulfillment to financial security, and it is unique to each individual.
