set new goals:\nex:\nOllie, Kick-flip .....watever you want to do in skateboarding...\nwrite them down, put them somewhere you can see them everyday...as you start to acheive new goals, you will feel satisfied with what you did and you will keep setting new goals and putting them up to see untill the time comes where you feel like you've achieved enough goals in skateboarding and the passion is lost

Prioritize. If you KNOW you have a deadline to get homework or another task done, give yourself a time frame to do it and reward yourself with a small treat to accomplish that end. It might be a favorite food or drink, watching a movie or simply reading a good book. Stay focusedl...you CAN do it!

Are you sure you can motivate others?\n\nIf you believe this, then perhaps you could find someone who can do the same for you.\n\nBut I am sceptical that someone who cannot motivate themselves could really motivate others.\n\nPerhaps you could ask yourself what is your motivation for attempting to motivate yourself. Furthermore you could ask yourself what is your motivation for "losing motivation", once you have it.

You have to first think back to a time when you felt most proud of yourself, and use that for whatever may come. If that doesn't work for you, then you should look at the present. You want to be motivated to do something, and in order to do that you just need to do it. Much like doing the dishes. There is a huge pile to do, but you lack the motivation to do it. Maybe the result will inspire you. Once the dishes are done and cleaned, you can look back on that accomplishment. This may be from someone who hates doing the dishes, but does it to complete a chore. Think of what you need motivated as a game, when you're competing against yourself, the only winner is you.

Interest is the best motivator. If you like a thing you tend to do it better and enjoy it.

The best way to get motivated is to believe that you are already a beautiful and wonderful person.  When you stress out about what you should be doing and how you should look, it drains your energy to the point where you can't even leave the house.  When you know you are a great person you feel like taking better care of yourself.  Trust me.  For years I thought I was worthless and wore baggy clothes and no makeup.  Lately I have decided to take good care of myself, and in turn I don't binge or stress like I used to.  It's weird that forgetting about losing weight makes you lose it easier.  It's all about distracting your brain.  Good luck!

First I would break your big dreams into smaller goals that you can achieve short term.  This will keep you motivated by giving you instant gratification instead of waiting several years to see your results.  Determine what your motivating factors are and write yourself a mission statement to refer to when feeling less motivated.\n     Next I would make a list of things that would hinder you from reaching your goals and write out a plan of action to handle these situations when they occur.  \n     You also want to make sure to take time for yourself, reward your hard work.  Don't keep yourself from doing the things you enjoy because you are too focused on your end goal.  \n     Throw perfectionism out the window!  Be realistic of failure.  Each time we fail, there is a lesson to learn.  Take the time to learn the lesson and apply it later down the road.  \n     Don't be so down on yourself, negative self-verifying feedback can be one of your biggest enemys.  Focus on your strengths and use that to build your weaknesses.\n     I am a 30 yr old single mom just starting college.  I have had to learn and practice all of the above to continue to achieve my dreams.  GOOD LUCK!!!!

It's difficult to get yourself going when you feel down, if you understand that you know that you have to push yourself to do something about it.\nAsk yourself the question: 'Do I want to go on doing nothing, or do I want to stop, turn around and do something active and positive?'\nI guess you know the answer to that, so taking action is very important, rather than just thinking about stuff to do.\n\nHow about making a list of things that need to be done or things that you would like to do, that way you have something in black-and-white rather than just in your head.  It's nice to be able to cross those things off your list and say 'That's done, next?'  That should give you a way of actually doing things.\n\nI'm sure when you've been down before there have been occasions where something has happened, maybe you've seen something on TV or perhaps someone has called round to see you, and you've suddenly forgotten about being down and been alright.\nThis shows you that you can change your mood in an instant.  Again, when you KNOW that, it's easier to look at yourself when you are depressed and say 'I'm NOT going to be unhappy, I'm going to feel good.'\nAlso, I think taking your mind off yourself is a quick way to stop feeling down, go and do something for someone else.\n\nHope that helps, good luck!

If you find yourself sitting on the couch, just staring at the TV or messing around on the computer all day long, get outside, and at the very least, go for a walk, or jog. Get the blood moving, get healthy, and doing that stimulates your mind, so you can think of better things to do than sitting around being lazy.

there are many ways of getting one motivated, and one would hope that reaping intrinsic rewards would be enough, or just jumping in there to do the best job possible ('cause we've all been taught to be the best we can be) but lets face it....in today's world MONEY TALKS!
