I’ve been so lazy today and I totally hate it, I almost sleep all day! I don’t know why!!! Since November, I’ve been working as a freelance designer, having a project from my friend (raket namin! hehe). I remember clearing up my space just to get motivated working and studying even in my own bedroom, but i think it’s still not enough, I still get this “sleepy” time… And today I was worst. I wake up very early in the morning trying to jog with my dog, but it didn’t happen, instead I cooked pancakes for breakfast, and after we ate, I was sleeping again! aaarrrggggg! I was like my dogs today > eat and sleep <.
Ok so I google some ways to get motivated, (yes, I turn to google for help. Don’t laugh!). And I found this (see article below). HOPING THAT TOMORROW I’LL BE ABLE TO DO MY WORK WITHOUT THE LAZINESS AURA!
Get Off Your Butt: 16 Ways to Get Motivated When You’re in a Slump
1. One Goal. Whenever I’ve been in a slump, I’ve discovered that it’s often because I have too much going on in my life.
2. Find inspiration. Inspiration, for me, comes from others who have achieved what I want to achieve, or who are currently doing it. I read other blogs, books, magazines.
3. Get excited. This sounds obvious, but most people don’t think about it much: if you want to break out of a slump, get yourself excited about a goal. But how can you do that when you don’t feel motivated? Well, it starts with inspiration from others, but you have to take that excitement and build on it.
4. Build anticipation. This will sound hard, and many people will skip this tip. But it really works. It helped me quit smoking after many failed attempts. If you find inspiration and want to do a goal, don’t start right away. Many of us will get excited and want to start today. That’s a mistake. Set a date in the future — a week or two, or even a month — and make that your Start Date. Mark it on the calendar. Get excited about that date. Make it the most important date in your life. In the meantime, start writing out a plan. And do some of the steps below. Because by delaying your start, you are building anticipation, and increasing your focus and energy for your goal.
5. Post your goal. Print out your goal in big words. Make your goal just a few words long, like a mantra (“Exercise 15 mins. Daily”), and post it up on your wall or refrigerator. Post it at home and work. Put it on your computer desktop. You want to have big reminders about your goal, to keep your focus and keep your excitement going. A picture of your goal (like a model with sexy abs, for example) also helps.
6. Commit publicly. None of us likes to look bad in front of others. We will go the extra mile to do something we’ve said publicly.
7. Think about it daily. If you think about your goal every day, it is much more likely to become true. To this end, posting the goal on your wall or computer desktop helps a lot.
8. Get support. It’s hard to accomplish something alone.
9. Realize that there’s an ebb and flow. Motivation is not a constant thing that is always there for you. It comes and goes, and comes and goes again, like the tide. But realize that while it may go away, it doesn’t do so permanently. It will come back. Just stick it out and wait for that motivation to come back. In the meantime, read about your goal (see below), ask for help (see below), and do some of the other things listed here until your motivation comes back.
10. Stick with it. Whatever you do, don’t give up. Even if you aren’t feeling any motivation today, or this week, don’t give up. Again, that motivation will come back. Think of your goal as a long journey, and your slump is just a little bump in the road. You can’t give up with every little bump. Stay with it for the long term, ride out the ebbs and surf on the flows, and you’ll get there.
11. Start small. Really small. If you are having a hard time getting started, it may be because you’re thinking too big. If you want to exercise, for example, you may be thinking that you have to do these intense workouts 5 days a week. No — instead, do small, tiny, baby steps.
12. Build on small successes. Again, if you start small for a week, you’re going to be successful. You can’t fail if you start with something ridiculously easy.
13. Read about it daily. When I lose motivation, I just read a book or blog about my goal.
14. Think about the benefits, not the difficulties. One common problem is that we think about how hard something is.
15. Squash negative thoughts; replace them with positive ones. Along those lines, it’s important to start monitoring your thoughts. Recognize negative self-talk, which is really what’s causing your slump. Just spend a few days becoming aware of every negative thought. Then, after a few days, try squashing those negative thoughts like a bug, and then replacing them with a corresponding positive thought. Squash, “This is too hard!” and replace it with, “I can do this! If that wimp Leo can do it, so can I!” It sounds corny, but it works. Really.
I think this will help me, that’s why I want to share this to people like me, who has their lazy time of the day!!! I really hope this will help me. haha!
