Back To School/Blues // Motivation Post

Hi loves,

Today, I'm here to motivate you and beat those Back To School/Work Blues!

 I'm in the same boat as all of you, I've gone back to school and can't, for the life in me, find the motivation to do anything! As soon as I got back, I was struck down by work and homework which, usually, I would try to do the day I got it but now, I'm struggling to bring myself to do it the night before it's due in! Don't even get me started on my Speaking & Listening Assessment (which btw, I have this week and I haven't written it yet, let alone learnt it!). This is one of the most important years of my life (as my teachers keep telling me) and I CAN'T BE BOTHERED!! Please tell me I'm not the only one...

Anyway, this post isn't about me complaining about how my life could possibly be ruined due to upcoming exams. This post is about MOTIVATION! Something I will try and give you, despite not having any myself.

HAVE A GOAL

This may be the most cliché but having a goal can help you become motivated.  Knowing where you are and where you're going will give you a purpose and aim. It might just make some tasks more bearable.

TREATS

If you are doing something which is time consuming, for example, an essay. You should try giving yourself a treat after every paragraph or page written. This way, you might be more determined to do something. The treat doesn't have to be food but it could be a five minute break on your phone or watching a YouTube video. Anything like that will give you a break from work which is always good.

PUBLICISE YOUR GOAL

If you tell all your friends that you are going to do something or you post it on social media, you'll be a little bit more inspired to do it. Having people check up on your progress may make you feel more pressured to complete your task, which you will love once you've reached your goal.

STOP SELF CRITICISING

There's no need to put yourself down or pull apart every move you make. To make yourself motivated, you need to be happy with yourself and truly want to reach your goal. Please be happy with yourself before you try to reach your goal because your results will be SO MUCH better when you're happy:)

I hope this has helped! Researching theses has also helped me become a more motivated so I'm hoping it works for you!

All the love,
