Here's 50 Ways To Motivate Yourself

Here's 50 Ways To Motivate Yourself

November 28, 20233 min read

I've been very, very UNmotivated and I've suffered from mental health issues at times during my life...as I know a lot of you have too. "But Trav, you're a motivational speaker and coach!" That's why the quote..."Your Mess Is Your Message" resonated so much with me when I first heard it. My mess is now my message. I built the Bucket List Ecosystem to help the former me. And now, in turn, it's helping others. 

Here are 50 ways to motivate yourself:

  1. Set clear goals and objectives for yourself.

  2. Break down large tasks into smaller, more manageable steps.

  3. Create a to-do list or schedule to keep yourself organized.

  4. Surround yourself with supportive people.

  5. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small.

  6. Give yourself regular breaks to avoid burnout.

  7. Remind yourself of your strengths and accomplishments.

  8. Listen to music that energizes you.

  9. Exercise or engage in physical activity.

  10. Get enough sleep to avoid feeling tired and unmotivated.

  11. Watch motivational videos or read motivational quotes.

  12. Use positive affirmations to boost your self-confidence.

  13. Visualize success and what it will feel like to achieve your goals.

  14. Take on new challenges to keep things interesting.

  15. Take a break and do something you enjoy to reduce stress.

  16. Create a reward system for yourself to stay motivated.

  17. Focus on progress, not perfection.

  18. Surround yourself with inspiring quotes and images.

  19. Try a new hobby or skill to challenge yourself.

  20. Seek feedback and advice from others to help you improve.

  21. Find a mentor or coach to guide you.

  22. Keep a journal to reflect on your progress and feelings.

  23. Set deadlines for yourself to stay on track.

  24. Take responsibility for your actions and choices.

  25. Find a support group or accountability partner to help you stay motivated.

  26. Learn from your mistakes and use them as opportunities to grow.

  27. Use a timer or productivity app to stay focused.

  28. Set up a clean and organized workspace to improve focus and productivity.

  29. Take care of your physical and mental health to feel energized.

  30. Surround yourself with positive and optimistic people.

  31. Break up monotonous tasks with short, enjoyable activities.

  32. Focus on the benefits and rewards of completing a task.

  33. Use a mantra to stay focused and motivated.

  34. Learn from successful people and their strategies.

  35. Use visualization techniques to overcome challenges.

  36. Connect with your why and your purpose to stay motivated.

  37. Take a walk or spend time in nature to reduce stress and improve focus.

  38. Stay curious and open to new experiences and ideas.

  39. Find a balance between work and leisure to avoid burnout.

  40. Practice mindfulness to stay present and focused.

  41. Stay organized and keep a clear workspace to reduce distractions.

  42. Practice gratitude and appreciate the good things in your life.

  43. Keep a positive attitude and believe in yourself.

  44. Set achievable goals that are challenging but realistic.

  45. Practice self-compassion and forgive yourself for mistakes.

  46. Focus on the process, not just the outcome.

  47. Try new things and take risks to challenge yourself.

  48. Use positive self-talk to encourage and motivate yourself.

  49. Stay committed to your goals, even when it gets tough.

  50. Remember why you started and what you want to achieve.

Rather than trying to do it all yourself, I've always known the power of proximity. That's why having a coach by your side is one of the best investments you can make in your own personal development. Having a coach simply helps you fast-track your goals. With that being said, I like working with clients who have a clear vision of what they want and why they want it.
