Not wanting to do anything is normal, because people are lazy by their nature ... And this is not true, because there is no laziness. There is a weakness or lack of motivation. So, let's talk about how to motivate yourself to work.
Imagine the result of your work.
Before you start any business, think about what will happen when you reach your goal: what will your world be like? Do not just imagine, but get used to your fantasy. Feel all the emotions, hear all the sounds, watch your surroundings, feel the smells ... Open your eyes and start doing your work. The ability to work will increase significantly.
This method is also suitable for motivating yourself to work on yourself, for example, to play sports. Just imagine yourself after a year of training and fatigue after a working day fades into the background.
In general, the way is universal and it has one peculiarity: the brighter the picture, the brighter and more expressive it is, the greater will be the strength to work.
Read success stories and watch motivating videos.
Success stories really simulate. Stories of children without education who earned millions, stories of people with poor health who became champions, successful experience of freelancers, etc. Often, it is after them that the desire to work wakes up, and it is such that even reading the story fails.
Finding such stories is easy: just search the words “success story” in the search engine and enjoy. Usually people willingly share them.
Another great tool to help motivate yourself is video. No need to create pictures or read long stories, just look for a good clip in YouTube, after which the hands themselves will begin to do the work with pleasure. If you do not understand what it is about, here is a small example: By the way, there are not only short videos with motivation, but also entire films. For example, "In pursuit of happiness."
Do not forget to reward yourself for work
If the desire to get a reward is great, then it is excellent motivating. Let the reward be simple: favorite coffee, a little relaxation or watching a cartoon in YouTube. The main thing is that you like this award.
Get up!
Strange, but it works. So, if you can not finish some business - get up. Stand and do nothing. We do not watch TV, do not read, and even do not listen to music (and do not pick your nose). Just stand for 10 minutes. After that, the body itself will require work. Just standing without doing anything is very boring. True, after that you may want to sit, but still work to pull.
Envy
Sometimes there is nothing wrong with envy. Especially if you are jealous and strive to catch up and overtake the one to whom you envy. Envy resembles a situation with success stories, but works on a different principle. Comparing yourself with others, think about how you can achieve the same.
You can motivate yourself by taking a competitor. You can not yield to him, so you have to work.
Try to surround yourself with successful people and do not be afraid to communicate with them. You will definitely have a desire to achieve the same thing that they have achieved. At the same time, learn from them motivation and other rules of success.
But this does not mean that you do not need to compete with yourself. Try to be a little better today than you were yesterday. Your main competitor is only you. And if there is a desire to overtake him, it is a great motivator.
Just do business
Put off the coffee cookies, close all the tabs and get down to business. If it is difficult to do everything at once, devote a quarter of an hour to work (note them on the alarm clock). Turning off all thoughts and emotions except for one single thing - I have to do it now. Even if it is unbearably difficult, the work will still have to be done, and it is better to do it here and now.
By the way, if you cope with one small task, then this motivates you to do the rest of the work, no matter how voluminous it is.
A very important point. If the case does not give you pleasure, just change it. If you like doing something, there is always motivation.
Do not be afraid to share
If you understand what you are stalling, tell everyone what you are going to do now. This is sure to whip you up.
So, you can feel free to tell your colleagues that you can handle the report in one hour and you will manage, because you have the motivation. You can not be stopped now.
An optimistic attitude is what motivates in itself. Do not take your work as a tragedy or as an unbearable burden. Just look for a positive in your business, because it motivates by itself.
Attract people
This may be a friend who will help you work, or even just an outsider who gives motivating kicks and encourages you to be responsible.
Another option is a fan who believes in you and your abilities. If there is such a person, it will be more difficult for you to fall into the dirt with your face because of your restlessness or laziness.
Feel free to dream
You know that dreams can come true, especially when we visualize. Therefore, dream of incredible success and do not be afraid of it. But just know that if dreams are not accompanied by any gestures, they will hardly come true.
And finally, always believe that you will cope with the most difficult work, because we are not afraid of complex tasks, but just start to perform them.
