As a
student who has recently finished her A levels I know a thing or two about
motivation (or lack of) so here is a list of things that help me to stay
motivated especially in an academic situation.
One -
Remind yourself of the benefits of what you are doing- Make a poster but a
picture as your lock-screen whatever but just makes sure that you are
constantly reminded at that end goal. This will help you because it will remind
you why you are slogging through this work and hopefully restore faith in
yourself.
Two- Treat
yourself- If you are revising for exams buy yourself some pretty colours to
write things with or maybe get yourself a nice notebook to keep all of your
notes in. Other treats could include pleasant smelling candles or bath bombs
which may help you to relax when you are feeling stressed.
Three- Take a break, concentrating for hours on end will not help your motivation. It will just make you feel tired and
irritable hence more unmotivated. Make sure that you take breaks as often as
you feel that you need the, everyone’s attention span is different so be sure
to arrange breaks to suit you.
Having breaks can also be in the form of leaving the house for short
periods of time and having fun.
Going to see a movie , going for lunch or short
shopping trips can actually be effective in boosting my motivation because
knowing that I have something to do that day makes me plan further and makes me
get out of bed which leads me onto my next point.
Four Get out of bed lying in bed can make you feel very unmotivated
set an alarm and keep a routine which should help you keep your motivation up
while equally allowing yourself to sleep.
I hope these tricks were useful for you stay motivated; just remember
your academic ability does not limit you. We are all different and school does
not last forever.
Always,
Lauren
