getting motivated is an easy goal to set. I know, I do it all the time. But staying motivated, that's a whole other story. Staying motivated doesn't just happen. The way to stay on the right path is by being intentional about our behaviors. A lot of times, people often tie motivation to huge goals that are unattainable. What happens is that you use all of your energy to "power through" and all this does is lead to burnout and waning willpower.
The way around this is by being specific and making it a challenge. According to the American Psychological Association, people who set goals that are both specific and challenging, are 90% more likely to achieve what they’ve set their mind to. Setting realistic goals is crucial. And don't forget to celebrate the little wins. By celebrating those little wins, you'll find a much needed daily dose of motivation.
