We all have a dream we are striving to accomplish, or a goal in mind that seems impossible. Some are bigger than others. The hardest part of completing a goal or making a dream come true is motivating yourself to do so. Here are some ways to up your motivation and work towards making your goals and dreams a reality.
1. Set aside time in your day.
Nothing can be accomplished if you don't make time for it. Whether it's working out, or writing a book, setting aside time is the only way to make it happen.
2. Find a person to help you out.
The best motivation is to have someone working with you to reach your goal. This sidekick could be working out right alongside you, or reminding you that you need to go accomplish a certain task. Motivating each other will help get the job done.
3. Remind yourself of what you want to accomplish.
The more often you remind yourself of your goal, the more you will strive to make it happen. Only you know the limits you are willing to reach to make your dreams happen.
4. Reward yourself.
When you accomplish your goal, reward yourself. Whether that's with a treat, or a break, knowing that you have something to look forward to will help you reach towards each goal. This helps you get into the habit of working towards that goal. Soon enough, you can workout, or sit down to write because its habit, not because of the pot of gold sitting at the other end of the rainbow.
5. Don't tell everyone about what you're trying to do.
Telling everyone somehow makes the goal slip between your fingertips. Keeping it to yourself (and your motivator, of course), makes it a more reachable goal, and in a way, makes it all the more rewarding because you did it for yourself.
6. Believe in yourself.
The quickest way to make a dream fail is to stop believing in yourself. Have the courage to make yourself successful, and the willpower to make it happen.
