15 Ways To Stay Motivated When You're Chasing Your Dreams
We all know it’s hard to stay motivated. How often have you had a goal in mind, but then lost interest or ran into difficulties? It can be difficult to stay on track and keep your motivation high.
When you are chasing your dreams, there will be moments that challenge your motivation. How can we stay motivated? How can we keep going when the challenge gets too high? How do we get ourselves to keep pushing forward instead of giving up?
There are some ways you may be able to answer these questions for yourself and stay motivated.
And if you’re serious about achieving your dreams – whether it’s fitness, finance, career, or personal goals – then here are 15 ways that will help keep you motivated!
Set small milestones for yourself along the way – break down the big goal into a few smaller goals and do something to celebrate each time you achieve.
Make sure your end result is specific and achievable – don’t just say “I want to lose weight”. How much do you weigh right now? How long would it take for you to get there?
Find something that inspires you every day. This can be a particular activity that you enjoy, or perhaps a motivational quote that you love reading over and over again.
Celebrate successes by treating yourself to something nice (but within reason!)
Never, ever give up!
Be proud of the journey, not just the end result! You may never reach that perfect weight or that $Million paycheck, but what you are doing every day to reach that goal is amazing – never forget that.
Remind yourself that this is all temporary and it will be worth it in the end. The difficult times will never last forever!
Keep track of what you’re doing – write down goals to keep them alive. It’s also good to look back at how far you’ve come if things get tough!
Visualize what success would look like to motivate yourself even more! How amazing does reaching your dream feel? How happy are other people going to make you feel because they love what you do/what you have achieved?! How beautiful… Remember: Nothing feels as great as knowing deep inside that YOU did something incredible 🙂 And nothing feels as terrible as knowing you didn’t try! How do you want to feel?
Keep your goals somewhere where they can be seen every day. How will you feel every time you see them if they’re hidden away? How great would it be to look back and remember how far you’ve come!
Take a break if things start feeling overwhelming. Take some time off from the dream and when you’re ready, re-focus with fresh eyes 🙂
Remember that anything worth having takes hard work – it won’t happen overnight 😉 So keep at it! You are capable of amazing things!
Don’t compare yourself to others…be proud of who YOU are!! And never stop trying because no one else is perfect either.
How you do something is always more important than how quickly you do it.
Remember that you are already amazing!
It’s easy to lose motivation and give up when chasing your dreams but remember: Nothing feels as great as knowing deep inside that YOU did something incredible.
And nothing feels as terrible as not trying! How do you want to feel?
Keep these tips in mind and always chase after your dreams with passion – because it will be worth it in the end.
