how to: motivate yourself
a vision board is a collage of pictures and quotes of your dreams, goals, and things that make you happy
the purpose of it is to bring everything on it to life
it should focus on how you want to feel
these visualizations serve as a motivation to achieve said dreams and goals
here’s a helpful wikihow article on how to make one: x
this one is pretty self-explanatory
remember to reward yourself for reaching small goals, as well
aced your last test? great, it’s time to celebrate!
finished your homework? go eat that chocolate in the fridge!
most often, we don’t see the results of our hard work as soon as we’d like, so you just have to give them to yourself
surround yourself with positivity
may it be inspiring tumblr posts or a supportive group of friends, it’s so important to be around people who are rooting for you!
try to distance yourself from people who want to see you fail, or who don’t believe in you
if that’s not possible, try to see them as an extra motivator: do the thing they think you’re not capable of! prove them wrong!
break big goals down to smaller ones that are doable
so instead of a 4.0 GPA, start with „studying every day for the next 7 days“
if you have a list of tasks, start with the smallest one
the little confidence boost you get after finishing one of your tasks is extremely helpful
it gets the ball rolling and suggests that you can actually tackle your to-do list
the studyblr community is perfect for this
it’s full of supportive, ambitious and positive people who are always ready to help
share your achievements and failures with them
having a great support group to lean on in times of stress is super important
keep track of your progress
whether through the usage of a bullet journal or a blog, it’s helpful to have the ability to actually see what and how you’re doing
also, bullet journals are extremely fun to make and help you be organized in general

don’t compare yourself to others
one of the biggest motivation killers is comparison
i know it’s hard to stay motivated when you feel like everyone around you is doing better than you
still, it’s crucial to try and compare yourself only to your past self
try to improve a little, to put a little more effort into something
there will always be someone who has achieved more, it will only put you down
so just try to give your best, because that’s all one can do
