Real Ways I Get Myself Motivated
(aka when I really really really don't feel like doing work and i'm immune to a lot of the normal ones, so this is what I cooked up)
also isn't little luffy so cute??? love him so much
1. "Luffy Would be Disappointed."
This one is actually a cheat code for me in like every aspect. Let's be real: we all have a dream. What else is a goal? Luffy works tirelessly for his dream to be the King of Pirates, for Nami's map, for Sanji's All Blue... how would he feel if we didn't give it our all? He'd be so disappointed!
This goes for everything. I don't feel like studying? I'm not fighting for my dream. I don't feel like running or being active despite knowing its a goal of mine? I'm not trying to improve to get my goal in reach. How can I be worthy of being Luffy's friend? By trying by best to get better in pursuit of my dream.
This can go for any character, really. Especially one who seems motivated even in the most daunting situations. Would they want to be friends with you? Or would they be disappointed at your lack of drive for your passions?
would you go with your dream into the very fires of Mordor? prove it.
2. "ANYTHING is better than a zero."
Literally anything. It beats nearly every excuse.
"Oh, I didn't study enough, I shouldn't go." Go. Get a 20/100. It's better than a 0.
"I really don't feel like doing my homework." Start it. Get a 1/10. It's better than a 0.
"The deadline is in 5 minutes and I haven't even started ye--" Do some. Get a terrible grade. Email the professor about it to see if you can have a second chance. Even if you don't get it, it's still better than a 0.
