HOW TO STAY MOTIVATEDTO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALSby Evin Ersan College Reporter, Boston UniversityLet’s face it. Working toward your goalscan be extremely difficult, especially if they’regoals that take a significant amount of timeto accomplish. It can be very tempting to getoff task, forget about, or consciously abandonyour goals entirely. One of the biggest reasonsfor this is due to a loss of motivation, and Ican say without a doubt that not only have Ihad moments where I have struggled to findmotivation for a particular goal but also I haveknown many others who have experienced thesame struggles. So, if you think you’re the onlyone who is having motivation struggles, thinkagain because this is actually quite common.However, don’t worry! There are plenty of waysto stay motivated! Here are my top sevenmethods that I use to help me when I find myselflosing motivation:1. Never Forget Why You Started in the FirstPlaceNever forget the reason why you startedworking toward a goal. It can be easy to forgetwhat motivated you to start in the first placewhen you are feeling down and unmotivated.However, if you take just a little time each day,especially when you are feeling down andunmotivated, to remember why you started,then you will find that your motivation tocontinue to work for your goal will return.2. Think of the Reward for Achieving YourGoalThinking about how great it would be toachieve your goal and all of the wonderfulbenefits you’ll receive by achieving it can greatlyincrease your overall motivation and willingnessto continue to work toward it. Remember, everygoal you set will have a distinct benefit for you.Never forget that.3. Never Lose Sight of the Big PictureAnother reason people lose motivation isthat they lose sight of the big picture. It can bevery easy to become bogged down thinkingabout all the work you have to do to reach yourgoal, especially when some of that work may not14 February 2022 I QC Family Focus
directly apply to your goal. However, you haveto remember that no matter what you do on theway to your goal, there is always some positiveaspect about it that can be applied to yourgoal whether it be you improve your patience,discipline, or other aspects about yourself bydoing it. Therefore, always ask yourself, “Howdoes this help me to achieve my goal eitherdirectly, indirectly, or both even though I don’tlike doing it?”4. Worker Smarter, Not HarderIs it fun to do a ton of work within a veryshort time frame? Of course not! It is verystressful to do that, so don’t do it! A commonreason for why people lose motivation is thatthey become overwhelmed because they putoff their work until the very end. Remember, thebest approach to a goal is to start early and tobe consistent. By doing this, you won’t have toworry about becoming too overwhelmed.5. Think of Those Who Have Doubted You,Made Fun of You, Were Mean to You, orHurt You in Some Way in the PastEveryone reading this has experiencedor will experience someone in their life whodoes something that makes them feel angry,frustrated, sad, and/or bad. A great way to staymotivated while you work toward your goals isto remember all of these people and what theysaid and/or did to you! There is just somethingabout wanting to prove your haters wrong thatcan give you that extra boost to keep workinghard toward your goals. Never Forget: Successis the best revenge!6. Think of All of Those Who Have SupportedYouLikewise, remembering those who haveand/or continue to support you and want what’sbest for you can be a great motivator for you aswell. These people could be anybody. Maybe it’syour good friends. Maybe your family members.Maybe it’s your lost loved ones. Maybe it’s allof these people! Whatever the case, wanting tomake these people proud can be an excellentway to stay motivated!7. Think of Those Who You Aspire to Be LikeThinking of those who you aspire to be likecan be a fantastic way to stay motivated! Thesepeople can be the people who you know orhave known personally. However, they don’thave to be. They can also be current or pastgreat leaders and/or successful people of theworld!All in all, these are my personal favoritemethods to stay motivated. I hope you all foundthese methods helpful, and I sincerely hope youcan use them to help you stay motivated whileworking toward your goals!
