Five ways to stay motivated through out the day!!

Our life is nothing but a collection of days over a period of time and if we learn to make our days perfect, eventually our lives are bound to get better. Any big thing which has ever happened is always the result of small steps taken over a period of time.

Though I am sure, each one of us wants to have a pleasant day always and everyday but because we are surrounded with so much of pressure situations and negativity; it becomes a daunting task to keep ourselves motivated throughout the day.

Like most of the people, I have also gone through a string of days where nothing seems to work out. Whet ever I try would go wrong and by the time half a day is over, I would be wishing to get the day over and begin the next day afresh. Next day would definitely come with new energy, new opportunities and new plans but what about the day which is lost? That would never come.

Hence I decided to change the way I approached my days and slowly over a period of time I could see the change.

So here I would like to share few of the things which have helped me and hope would help you as well.

Gratitude:

I believe that Gratitude is an attitude which all of us should carry. In this ever competitive world, in order to achieve big things in life, let us try to enjoy the good little things we take for granted in our lives; like having food to eat for three times a day. It may be a mundane thing for most of us but let us not forget that for a billion people out there, it’s a luxury.  

Let’s enjoy even the smallest blessing in life and your days would fill with positivity.

Regular exercise:

This is one thing which tops the list of New Year resolution but few have the discipline to commit to it.

Exercise keeps the body active and mind alert which helps in focusing on task in a better way and that would ultimately result in an inner satisfaction of doing the things in best possible manner.

Even though most of us know the benefit of exercise but still we tend to ignore it citing our own reasons.

Recently I read the autobiography of African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela and one thing which he followed rigorously even when he was under ground during the struggle or was in the jail for 27 years, was that he would always take out time for exercise during the day. And I am sure all of us know what all he achieved in his life.

Read a Book

Reading an inspirational or motivational book, if not few pages then few paragraphs, is another major factor in keeping your mind in right direction.

Starting your day with something motivational or inspirational is the best way to start the day.

Just like we have breakfast in the morning to keep our body strong enough to face the challenges of the day ahead, reading a good book or article is the breakfast our mind needs to sail through the hardships of the day.

Have your daily goal

It is said that a person without a goal in his life is as good as dead.

I believe that all of us have some unique talent which is waiting to be discovered. Find that something and work on it. Have some short term and long term goals and then divide those goals into your daily, weekly and monthly goals.

It would help us in checking our progress and will keep us motivated to achieve what we have started for.

Meditation

Now this is something we Indian have been doing since ages and almost all of us know what wonders this wonderful exercise can do. The issue is whatever someone may say, the real wonders of meditation can be experienced when we actually practice it.

It is a way of keeping our mind connected with our inner selves and clear from all the garbage we are surrounded it. It is a way of self-discovery as that is what everyone is looking for but everywhere except our inner selves.  

Meditation is a way to connect to the energy which brings prosperity and happiness in our lives.

I practice all of them and I can vouch that once someone starts doing these things with discipline, one can’t think of one’s day without them. That’s how these activities change the way one look at one’s days and life.

I had never tried those things and was never disciplined to do anything but now I am on that path and the credit goes to these simple activities I have tried to explain to you.

Stay Motivated, Stay happy, Stay Blessed!!
