Everyone wants to live their best life. That’s the main goal, right? Even if it isn’t, it feels good to know that we’re doing the best we can by the end of the day. But it’s hard to find the motivation to work towards living our best life every day. Here are 10 ways to motivative yourself to live your best day every day.
Sometimes, when the thought strikes and you’re not currently busy with work, school or anything, just jumping into productiveness is a great way to keep motivation strong. Think you should go take a run around the block? DO IT.
A way to motivate yourself to do something is by talking about doing it with your friends or making a Facebook post or tweet. “Grocery shopping soon, need to stock this fridge, been empty TOO LONG!” Sharing your best life goals is a way to stop procrastination. Just make sure not to OVER share, there are still some creepy people out there.
A way to motivate yourself is by being around people who motivate THEMSELVES. Positivity can be contagious. So stop hanging out with the downers of the world and get with the more ambitious crowd. You’ll soon find yourself being one of them.
Music has a way of controlling our moods. If you listen to some good music with inspiring words to get you to take control of your life, you’ll see a difference. This tactic especially works great in the mornings when you’re getting your day started. A great song, for example, is, “Have A Nice Day” by Bon Jovi.
“When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have a nice day.”
What could be more motivating than that? Don’t let people get you down and get yourself going working towards your best life!
Sometimes we make mistakes in life. Big or small, they happen. Don’t beat yourself up about it a.k.a, let it go. Don’t dwell on the fact that you didn’t do so great on that test, or didn’t win employee of the month at work. It sucks when mistakes happen or things don’t go as we planned, but to motivate yourself to live your best life, you need to let things go and move forward.
Relating to the last topic, things happen in life that doesn’t go the way we want them too. Don’t let it hold you back from moving forward, but also expect that you won’t always succeed at things that are important to you. All you can do is work hard and try your best in this world and good things WILL come but so will the bad. It happens. It’s life.
Keeping the end goal in mind, whether exercising for a healthier lifestyle or working long hours towards that promotion, it’s hard work and tiring but you need to keep going. Part of a way to motivate yourself is by keeping in mind what you are doing all this for. The end goal is the reward! And helps to live your best life.
During those times of stress of working towards your goal, don’t forget to appreciate the good things that you have in your life right now.
Having a clean home, workspace, car, etc. can change your mood drastically. A clear personal area equals a clear state of mind.
Baby steps really do make a world of a difference. Sure, there should be a long term goal, but think more about the small steps you need to take to get there. It helps keep the motivation on working towards your best life.
