Celebrate Yourself!!!
Many times we feel a lack of motivation when we don‘t receive a lot of recognition and appreciation.
You cannot expect that people will applaud you whenever you accomplish a certain task or
challenge. In order to remain motivated you have to acknowledge and value your own successes.
Celebrate yourself every now and then after accomplishing a big obstacle. Self-praise is the
answer! Let your partner know as well. Enjoy the beauty of being „done“ with something. When you finish certain tasks with that attitude in your mind you will for sure have more fun next time you face a challenge of this degree. Then, you will relate it
to something positive and good.
Bottom Line
For the purpose of self-motivation set daily, weekly, and monthly events that trigger fun and pleasure within yourself
Attach guiding principles and values to each and every day
Exaggerating perfectionism can create too high expectations and can lead to demotivation
Take small steps towards the large goal of task-completion, go step by step and celebrate each of them when accomplished
Be excited about what you accomplished each and every day at work
Only schedule the amount of meetings that you can go to and be prepared for. Time-management is a big part of motivation. Don‘t hesitate to say NO when too much is demanded...
