What tricks do you use to motivate yourself?

Answer 1

It's all a game, I try to beat the previous round learning from my mistakes.

Answer 2

In order to create constructive motivation one must believe there is "pay value" from their point of view, in achieving a goal. Seeing the pay value causes us to start thinking positively about the outcome, initiates clustering (the gathering of resources), setting goals and objectives, and taking action. Positive self-talk (giving yourself positive feeback) stimulates creativity and reinforces a positive sefl-image. Try it!

Answer 3

I try to focus on things that I can change. Focusing on things beyond your control becomes depressing an boring before long. I know. I also try to closely follow things that I'm interested in and learn new things. Even if it's just a simple fact or a person you just learned existed.

Answer 4

I promise myself a prize, like a new accessory for my ipod or the tattoo I just got (for the big things) or even just a movie/junk food night with my friends to get away from stress, for an ending-prize for finishing whatever needs done.

Answer 5

I try to think positively. But sometimes the motivation to do something like, say, study doesn't come naturally, so I just picture someone who would really want me to do it. (my mom, teacher, etc.) I imagine that they are in the room.
