How to Get Motivated
Develop a Routine. Create a series of events that you always perform before doing a specific task.
- Step 1: Start by doing something so easy that you can't say no to it. Your pre–game routine tells your mind, “This is what happens before I do ___.
”For example, In my writing routine I start by getting a glass of water. So easy, I can’t say no. - Step 2: Your routine should get you moving physically towards the end goal. Your mind and your motivation will follow your physical movement.
- Step 3: Follow the same pattern every single time.
