It is just about midterms. There are tests on top of tests upon us. Papers and assignments around every corner. Just when you think you can breathe, you remember that there is something else you should be doing, like working on the laundry that has been piling up, cleaning your room, emptying out all the gross leftover that are stinking up your fridge, but you are lacking the motivation to do anything. Who could blame you?
You have been working hard. Maybe it is not paying off, maybe you haven't had the chance to breathe yet and that is all you want, you may even feel like giving up. But despite the fact that it seems like the odds are stacked against you, and you keep getting knocked down, you have to find the motivation to keep going and keep fighting on. Believe me, that seems a lot easier said than done.
Finding motivation is hard, especially when it feels like life is beating you down. It can almost be impossible but have a little faith and anything is possible.
If I have learned anything when it comes to finding motivation, it is okay to ask for help. You are not alone and it is okay to ask for help. That is what your friends are there for, they want you to lean on them. Anytime I am lacking the motivation to do something, it could be as simple as not wanting to shower, or it could be asking for motivation to study or to clean my room, I just text my friends and ask them to motivate me to do whatever it is that I need to do.
But what works for me, may not work for you, just as what works for you may not work for me. You have to find out what works for you. It is a matter of trial and error when it comes to finding what motivates you. I am not going to lie to you, it can be very hard, but when you find what motivates you, what drives you, what keeps you going, it will make a world of difference.
Good luck finding what motivates you. Do not forget that there are people around you who are there for you who want to and are willing to help you. You are not alone, and that, in my opinion, is motiving in itself.
