Staying Motivated During Tough Times

Monday Motivation

The hardest thing to do is stay motivated and even harder durning tough times of our lives. Don’t give up there are some things you can do to help you prepare and keep you motivated.

Set up a habit and keep with it. It’s easier to continue a habit than it is a schedule. A schedule is work and a habit is something you just do, out of habit. Start the habit as a small change like drawing for 20 minutes everyday. Build on habits to make bigger changes.

Have a social network. It’s important to have a group to bounce ideas off of and to be social with. Having fun is just as much a part of motivation has challenge is, so have fun with your social network.

Celebrate the small successes. Break up big goals into smaller goals and when you reach that smaller goal celebrate your accomplishment. It will help you realize that you are making progress towards your goal.

Announce what you intend to do. Make announcements about your goals to family, friends, social networks and social media. This holds you accountable and will give you more reason to keep going.

I hope this helps keep your motivation going. Don’t give up!
