Written by: bikram

It’s very easy to give some pep talks about motivation and weave dreams in reader’s mind. But even if those excite us for a moment, the moment it’s over, its effect witnesses a sharp fall too. Talking big just doesn’t work. What we need is an actual realistic motivational factor, everyday, which will keep us going. Motivation will make you reach your goals, curb depression and frustration and stay in a good mood. A pessimist reaches nowhere. It’s only a motivated, optimist who works enthusiastically, with full vigor and passion towards his or her objectives in life.

Here are some realistic tips towards staying motivated, everyday.

Relax in between work, don’t be overstressed

An overstressed mind and body can’t be motivated enough. Human body and mind seek adequate rest. Only a refreshed body and mind can be receptive to fresh ideas, new learning. In between work, take few breaks, refresh yourself with small naps. If that’s not possible, don’t compromise with 8 hours long sound sleep at night. You will wake up fresh and rejuvenated.

A stroll could do wonders

Don’t captivate yourself within the four walls. It not only gets monotonous, but your soul also gets deprived from the fragrance of Mother Nature, fresh air and sunshine. Step out every day, go for a walk. It will not only keep your mind fresh, but also keep you healthy and fit. A fit body will keep you energetic, happy and in good mood. Choose early morning or evening. If you wish, listen to your favorite track of music while taking a walk. You’ll return with a pleasant mood, filled with energy and happiness.

Entertain yourself

All work and no entertainment, makes life appear gay. So, make sure there’s some fun that you look forward to everyday, at the end of work. Either watch good movies or comics or television shows which make you laugh and stay amused. A good laughter is much needed than medicines. It will keep you entertained and in a light cheerful mood.

Learn every day, read something new

Apart from starting your day with a newspaper, learn something every day. Read something. It could be a novel, a new recipe, a beauty guide, an interview. If normally you read novel opt for a lifestyle magazine or a travel journal. It will spice up your life and make each day enjoyable.

Enjoy small weekend getaways

Don’t let the weekend be same as you weekdays. Treat yourself with small getaways if not big trips to other cities. Just go to the country side or somewhere in city, where you have never been. Explore new places in your surroundings. Take camera along. Even if for a day, treat yourself with a day out. It will keep you highly motivated. If you are a busy professional, it’s strongly recommended.
