easier said than done

my friend aissa is blogging again! and how glad i am that she is. i myself am in a blogging slump, choosing not to document and write about monumental changes and shifts in my life because i myself wasnt too sure about how i felt about them.

and everytime i seem to attempt to start something good is always on. i. am. addicted. to. tv. HELP!

10 WAYS TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF:

1. Write down your goals. It will help you gauge how far you’ve gone and how far you need to go to attain them.
2. Don’t linger in the past. Learn from your mistakes and move on.
3. Respect other people’s opinions. Ultimately, getting along with other people can also affect how you spend your time getting to where you need to be.
4. Don’t be prone to burnout. Take a break when you need to recharge.
5. Get into the kind of work that you like. You can solve this by just applying for jobs that you believe would bring you joy in the doing.
6. Expect a lot of bad turns to go your way. Do not set yourself up for unreasonable tasks.
7. Remember the why's of your actions. Keep a record of your decisions: start a journal and refer to it occasionally.
8. Shape your own style. Learn to work with your own rhythm.
9. Be exposed to inspirational sources. Listen to good music. Read books. Watch movies that could elicit the kind of sentiment that will give you that groove to work on tasks at hand.
10. Know that you're not alone. Everyone feels lost sometimes. Some people takes several years to figure out what they really want to do with their lives, so don’t stress it.
