Day4- Simple Solutions to Self Development
Topic- Motivation👇
Motivation can be intrinsic (internal) or extrinsic (external). Many of us watch videos of motivational speakers, read quotes, articles to keep ourselves motivated not realizing that this is all extrinsic motivation. It’s like a balloon filled with helium, the balloon flies as long as there is air in it. We feel motivated as long as the effect of these activites lasts on us.
Now the question is, how do you stay motivated? Motivation is the fuel that drives you and it gives you the kick internally only when you have a purpose or a goal that you want to achieve. It can be the smallest of tasks too.
Once the goal is set, you need to ensure your daily activities are aligned to it. This will help you do away with tasks that are meaningless. It’s a conscious call and needs to be built with commitment and practice.
Alinging the daily tasks to the goal or purpose will help you stay motivated day in day out internally. Of course you can top it up with external source of motivation too 🙂
Next time you feel demotivated, set a time-bound target, all the energy will flow in!
