Mastering The Art Of Self Motivation

Right now, I am in my PJ's, blogging from the comforts of my bed. After a week full of late nights at the library, classes, and landing an internship, to say my week has been hectic would be an understatement. I don't know if it's the weather outside or the deadline of papers and assignments getting closer, but laying in bed and sleeping forever seems like a great idea. But, that is just not possible. Don't get me wrong, I love my fast paced lifestyle! Late nights and early mornings have become "my thing", especially since moving into college. And thanks to time management skills, I've been able to keep up with that lifestyle.

One thing that really helps me stay motivated on days like this is my motivation wall. Anyone who has ever lived in a dorm knows that the room decor can play a huge role in how productive you inside the room. Putting up pictures of your friends and family helps to add that since of home, but I decided to take it a step forward. I dedicated on wall on my site of the room to be a wall of motivation. It's full of images of things that keep me going. A picture of London, because I hope to study abroad there in the future. Quotes about dreaming, never giving up, remaining persistent, and putting my trust in God and not in myself. Sometimes, I write little post-it's to myself and leave them places I know I will visit when my day reaches its most hectic peak.



Anytime I see an image online or read a quote that I think will future motivate me, I plan on adding it to the wall. It's normal for everyone to have a bad day, week, or even month. The point is that you cannot live in it. Do not become a citizen of your circumstances and always remember that your attitude determines you altitude, not the other day around. As long as you continue to focus on your goal destination and not allow distractions of circumstances keep you down, you will always be motivated to succeed.
