Here is how to motivate yourself (to study and for life!). Knowing how to get motivated (and stay motivated) is something everyone should know. In this video I talk about my experience with motivation, and share with you my story of how I personally became more self-motivated. About studying. And about life because it translates. I think having extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation make me stop procrastinating and to be more productive. Also I want to say that it’s completely normal to be unmotivated to study from time to time. It happens to everyone. In times like this, I like to remind myself of my motivational reasons to keep going, and I also mix in “flow triggers” (which I explained in this video: • How to stay focused on... ) to boost myself to get the work done.
I hope this video was of value to you, and I hope you take the time to think about what motivates you at an extrinsic and intrinsic level. Comment below 3 reasons why you’re motivated to study (or unmotivated). Let’s help each other out and support one another :)
All there is left to say is, like the video and subscribe to the channel. Safe👊
