Sometimes it&#039;s like a continuous cycle where we are motivated for a while, drop out and then have to rebuild things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is nothing more powerful for self-motivation than the right attitude. You cannot choose or control your circumstance, but you can choose your attitude to your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take into account the steps listed below, self-motivation will come naturally when you need it. One of the most beautiful steps is the latter, where it can be extremely motivating if you also know how to help others who have problems or could use help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good way to have continuous self-motivation is to implement these 8 steps. Use it to your advantage to build ongoing motivation that you can always motivate yourself with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Start simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Houd motivatoren in de buurt &#8211; dingen die je net die eerste vonk kunnen geven om aan de slag te gaan. Deze motivator zullen de triggers zijn die je eraan herinneren om aan de slag te gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Good company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you surround yourself with positive and motivated people. This can be as simple as live chat with peers or a short chat with a friend who is happy to share ideas with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Positive and motivated people are very different from the negative. They will help you grow and see opportunities in difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Keep learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Read and try to absorb everything. The more you learn, the more confidence you gain in starting projects and tackling jobs that might otherwise fail. <a aria-label=\"Learning (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/en\/tag\/leren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">To learn<\/a> ensures that you are constantly stimulated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Losing Motivation?

Almost one <a aria-label=\"stoic (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/en\/tag\/stoicijns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">stoic<\/a> thought, but these are the very times when you grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Stop overthinking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;Just do it&#8221; &#8211; Nike<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just do it. If you find yourself lacking motivation for a particular project, try starting something else. Something small is perfectly fine, then you will develop the momentum to start with the more important things afterwards. Before you know it, you have made steps forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Selfknowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep notes when your motivation is bad and when you feel like a superstar. There will be a pattern that, once you are aware of it, you can work on and develop further. One of the reasons it&#039;s good to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Journaling\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"journal (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">journal<\/a> to keep up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Create and repeat a new positive habit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the smallest shifts produce the greatest results. When starting a new habit, be it hitting the gym, writing an article, or improving your speaking skills, consistency and repetition is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By really doing something new over and over, your brain wires new paths that help you create incremental improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you want to start a new morning routine, repetition is key. If you want to start with <a aria-label=\"meditate (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"\/en\/tag\/mediteren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">meditate<\/a>, is the key to sticking with it. Getting ready to run a 5K, the key is to run regularly and build that strength and stamina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#039;re putting off a big project, just start small and do something to move it forward, even if for just five minutes. Work on that project again the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is to decide what you want to improve and then work on it every day. Every day 1% improvement can ultimately yield very great results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Track your progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Track progress on your projects, tasks or goals. If you keep track of making steps and seeing something grow, you will become and continue to be motivated to keep taking steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Help others and boost your self-motivation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Share your ideas and help friends get motivated. Seeing others doing well will motivate you to do the same. Write about your success and receive feedback from readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helping others really helps yourself because it also gradually develops certain skills that become motivational habits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-04-28-9-stappen-naar-continue-zelfmotivatie-zelfs-in-moeilijke-tijden-in-artikel-help-anderen.jpg\" alt=\"Help others and boost your self-motivation (pict.)\" class=\"wp-image-1906\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-04-28-9-stappen-naar-continue-zelfmotivatie-zelfs-in-moeilijke-tijden-in-artikel-help-anderen.jpg 600w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-04-28-9-stappen-naar-continue-zelfmotivatie-zelfs-in-moeilijke-tijden-in-artikel-help-anderen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-04-28-9-stappen-naar-continue-zelfmotivatie-zelfs-in-moeilijke-tijden-in-artikel-help-anderen-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2021-04-28-9-stappen-naar-continue-zelfmotivatie-zelfs-in-moeilijke-tijden-in-artikel-help-anderen-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Help others and boost your self-motivation (<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/_UIVmIBB3JU\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"image (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">fig<\/a>.)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Zodra je het stadium bereikt waarin je regelmatig anderen helpt gemotiveerd te blijven &#8211; of het nu is met een blog of praten met leeftijdsgenoten &#8211; zul je merken dat de cyclus zich voortzet waarin elk facet van gemotiveerd blijven wordt verfijnd en zich verder ontwikkeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important also for us to keep posting updates daily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><small>Sources include Ian McKenzie (<a aria-label=\"link (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ismckenzie.com\/8-mental-steps-to-self-motivation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">link<\/a>), Lifehack (<a aria-label=\"link (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifehack.org\/articles\/featured\/8-steps-to-continuous-self-motivation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">link<\/a>), ThriveGlobal (<a href=\"https:\/\/thriveglobal.com\/stories\/7-powerful-ways-to-increase-self-motivation\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"link (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">link<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Velen van ons bevinden zich regelmatig in een soort vicieuze cirkel waar we aan moeten werken om eruit te komen.
