Want to train, get fit, or learn a language but lack drive? Motivate yourself daily. Our free "Secrets of Personal Effectiveness" course has tips you can use in 10 minutes.
Shorten your to-do list.
Make sure you have time before starting a new habit. Trying new things often fails due to lack of time. Schedule time for new tasks. This will motivate you to keep going.
Praise yourself for every success, big or small. It builds strength and shows you're on track. No need for a party. Just acknowledge your wins.
Embrace change.
Focus on the benefits of new things, especially when you feel down. Say you want to run in the morning. You'll need to wake up early. Think about why exercise matters and what you'll gain.
Treat failure as a win.
Everyone makes mistakes. We all quit things early sometimes. Be honest with yourself. Admit your faults, then keep going. Let errors make you stronger.
Rest.
Good rest motivates you. Balance work and rest. This gives you the energy to reach goals.
Don't compare yourself.
Some people will always be smarter or better than you. Accept it, and you'll feel free. It's easier to try new things when you don't compare. Focus on your own journey.
Don't fear change.
You might lose motivation, even doing things you love. Take a break and switch activities. If you're tired of dancing, try another sport.
