How do you keep yourself goal oriented and motivated?

Answer 1

Here are some ways to keep yourself motivated for any job you might find difficult:

• Set up a timeline -- mark out the time you want to spend on this job, or the time you feel that you can realisticallycomplete it. Then, figure out how much you will have to do per day, or per week, in order to attain your goal. Mark your progress on your calendar or timeline so that you can instantly see how far you've come.
• Get other people involved -- ask your friends and/or family to help you. Get them to give you pep talks telling you how well you're doing. Get them to agree to "reward" you by doing something special together if you succeed. Get them to do the job with you if it's something like exercising more, losing weight, or anything else that would help them as much as it will help you.
• Reward yourself -- instead of trying to punish "wrong" behavior, give yourself a reward whenever you succeed. This should not be anything like food, because you'd just end up gaining weight and having to motivate yourself to diet! You could put a certain amount of money into a jar and spend it after you succeed. You could put tokens into a jar and "redeem" them for favors from friends and/or family (see above). You could make up any reward that you want, so long as you reward yourself every time you make progress toward your goal.
• Stay determined -- post inspirational notes around your room, office, or home. Listen to motivational speeches. Read about other people who have done the same thing you're trying to do. Talk to people you know who are trying to achieve a difficult goal. If you're doing something like quitting a bad habit, trying to become more healthy, you can probably find a support group out there somewhere that you can attend for even more motivation!

• Try - just wanting to stay motivated gives you an edge over people who aren't interested
• Focus - remind yourself why you wanted to be more motivated - get some motivational posters or make yourself motivational post-it-notes - there's a reason they sell so many of those posters
• Reward yourself - figure out a goal that can be measured, like getting a raise or losing X pounds or pulling your grades up to the next level - then figure out some sort of reward system, like putting a quarter into a jar every time you finish a report or giving yourself a star every time you eat a healthy meal - if you're using money, you can spend it on something fun when you reach your goal; if you're using another system, you can trade in your "gold stars" (or whatever you've given yourself) for something fun (maybe a small cupcake if you're dieting or something your parents agree to do for you if you're trying to improve your school grades)
• Get help - let your friends and family know you're trying to be more motivated, and ask them to help by becoming your cheering squad

Answer 5

To keep myself motivated, I think about the successful outcomes I might miss out on or gain if I don't give up. By doing so, I can believe that anything is possible. I begin from within, using positive self-talk to motivate, push, and assure myself that "I can do it." I also like to use stock quotes and music to help me relax and decompress after a blowout so that I can focus on overcoming my next challenge. Try these healthy habits, and let me know how they go.
