5. Focus on Intrinsic Motivations
What can you do to boost your sense of intrinsic motivation?
- Challenge yourself. Pursuing a goal that is achievable, is a great way to increase motivation to succeed.
- Stay curious. Look for things that grab your attention and that you would like to learn more about.
- Take control. Look for ways that you can take an active role.
- Don't fear competition. There might be other people out there trying to reach the same goals as you, but this doesn't mean that you should give up. Don't compare your progress or journey to anyone else's, but you can look to others for motivation and inspiration.
