Self-motivation: how to set yourself up for work
id: 10052419

Every day we face situations that require motivation. You can learn to set yourself up positively for the performance of a certain work, asking yourself positive motives. Self-motivation is the ability to motivate yourself to do things that do not arouse your particular interest.

Knowing how to motivate yourself means:

replace negative emotions with positive ones;
figuratively reduce problems without taking them to heart;
solve problems immediately, rather than postponing and constantly thinking about them.
Exercise 1
In a few words, describe your usual job or duty, which you find uninteresting and burdensome, and constantly put off doing it. How could you motivate yourself to do this work?
Exercise 2
Describe your day-to-day, day-to-day responsibilities. Determine how long it takes you to complete them.
Exercise 3
If you constantly postpone indefinitely the performance of any work, then you need to regularly motivate yourself: force yourself to start working and believe that this work has imperceptibly interested you. In this case, motivation is associated with the first push to start work, and not with the work itself.
Try to motivate yourself by doing routine and boring things: writing a long business letter, developing a presentation, reading a difficult specific book, etc. Sit down at the table, take everything you need to get the job done. Then focus on the beginning; the first step you take when you get started.
