If you are telling yourself that you can do a task tomorrow but never actually get around to it because it seems too difficult, involves a lot of hard work and a lot of your time that you would rather spend on either binge watching your favorite series on Netflix or going through your Facebook, Twitter or your Instagram accounts. This may be because you feel UNMOTIVATED.
Yes, I understand everyone has their days where they just do not feel like getting out of bed or doing anything in that matter, but surely this is not how you should be living your life everyday.
I recently asked people on Instagram if they struggle with self-motivation and 76 percent of them said yes.
So lets first start with what is self-motivation? Self-motivation is basically the ability to do something without the any influence from others but yourself. Now for the big question:
"HOW CAN I BE MORE SELF-MOTIVATED?"
"HOW CAN I BE MORE SELF-MOTIVATED?"
- You should first realize that becoming more motivated takes time like everything else. "Good things take time."
- Even when everything seems like it is going downhill the only thing you can do is to try your best to be positive.
- Anyone and everyone can do amazing things if you set your mind to it and never give up.
- Remind yourself that it is okay to have off days, do not bring yourself down when you feel unmotivated and do not focus on the past build your future in the present.
Things I do to help keep me self-motivated is...:
♥ INSPIRATION.
Google has many inspirational quotes. I simply type in "Inspirational Quotes Tumblr" then I go to the images, these quotes are not just inspirational but they also look amazing.
*TIP* You can screenshot a quote that you really like to make it your wallpaper to remind yourself to stay motivated and positive.

♥ COMPANY.
I try and stay around people who keep motivating me and do not bring me down by saying things that discourage me. If the people you hang out with discourage you make sure you either find new friends or have people that do encourage you to do good things and that you can trust.
♥ STAY POSITIVE.
This may be difficult based on your mood. If you are feeling down, that everything in your life "sucks" and is not going as you planned then just make time for yourself. What I do is either meditate for awhile, color in or grab a book that calms me down.

Before going to bed write down things that you are grateful for, a quote or a motivational note to yourself. This helps on bad days as you can go back and read what you were grateful for, this personally helps me to boost the positivity in my life.
♥ FINISH TO GET THE REWARD.
I'm obsessed with to do lists, the thought of me ticking off a task that had to be done makes me feel so fulfilled. I love lists so much that I sometimes have a list of to-do lists that I make. Make a to-do list every morning while you are having a cup of coffee or tea, this will help you clear your mind, focus on important tasks and make yourself aware of how active you should be for that day. At the end of the week you should reward yourself with something small just to keep you motivated and on the right track.
♥ BABY STEPS.
Every morning before I make my to-do list i write down 1-3 small goals for myself to complete that day. These goals should be realistic, small and help you feel better about yourself in that moment such as exercise for at least 30 minutes, smile at a random stranger or even tell yourself good things which will help build your self-esteem.
