Staying motivated is a full time job

in #blog7 years ago

If you're like me you may find yourself at times becoming unmotivated from a lack of progress. It's hard to stay on track, but we all want to! I have tried many different methods of staying on track and one of the most efficient I have found is going with the 'flow'. At times I think we try to force things, when in reality we may expand our box just by following our intuitions. SteemIT is a wonderful example of a place where you can do just that. There's so many different things to explore, experience, and write about in the world.

Many people have one goal, and only have a limited set of actions they can take to reach that goal. By letting your mind flow and brain storm and come up with ideas you have a chance to expand your set of actions. Not only that will that keep you more motivated and give you more options in how to act productively, it will also be more enjoyable for you! Instead of thinking the only way I can come up with money is by working a job, you may realize you can create a blog about nearly anything, and once you have it created, you can work on it whenever you like! There's no need to overload yourself, once you have a new avenue of action you can just work at it as you see fit, the more you flow the further you will go!

The best way to figure out what it is that you want to do is to ask yourself where you want to be in one month. Some people come up with a certain amount of money they want to have earned by then, and then ask themselves what can I do to earn it? One of the best ways I've found is to ask myself what I wouldn't mind doing that could benefit people yet also help me expand my reach and influence. The answers are all within yourself, and when you start following your own intuition, success will follow!
