What are some good tips to help keep me motivated to study and for school?
- Know your goal - Why are you studying? What truly for? It’s not for the good grades, but rather for the life thereafter. What does that life look like? Be as detailed as you can.
- Get Emotional - Any emotion can be used to facilitate motivation. Anger, Sadness, Fear, Excitement, Joy, Passion, all can turn into motivation if used right. But first, you must get emotional. Here are some tips on how:
- Watch motivational videos.
- Listen to inspiring Music.
- Think about your past mistakes and that your future may remain the same unless you change.
- Look at what is possible going forward.
- Start the work first - A lot of the work you do in advance can lead to motivation later. Do not wait for inspiration, motivation and desire to hit. Instead just do it and find the emotional side later. The less you think about what you must do and the sooner you get started, the better.
- Sit in front of it - Turn off everything else and just stare at your study notes until you work on it. Do not move away, do not grab a drink or do anything else. Just sit there and wait until your mind is done complaining and fretting over it.
- Have a different Intention - Instead of the intention to win, to get good grades, or to succeed, try to see how much you can get out of school or that study session. Explore more than you try to achieve. You’d be surprised at how much a different, less pressured, take can get you.
- Change your Mindset - In the end your mindset is crucial to this, and you must change that from the core if you want a lasting change. That means, when you study tell yourself that this is fun, that you want to do this, or that this is for your best interest. Do what you can to slowly change your thoughts, for they will slowly change your actions.
