Motivation cup empty? How to fill it
We're all too familiar with pandemic fatigue, and an unfortunate side effect of this is a motivation drought. The phrase "Think of it as a sprint, not a marathon," has been hammered into our brains since last summer, and it's no wonder many of us are losing steam. BBC Worklife shares some actionable tips on how to refill your cup of motivation, and it starts with focusing on what we can control.
- Small wins are the way to go as we "have mastery over some challenges."
- Tiny tweaks to your routine can "give you a sense that you are doing things you enjoy and that your needs matter.”
- Try the WOOP method: Wish for something, envision the outcome, pinpoint an obstacle and plan.
- And lastly, connect with the community. Sometimes we can get a boost if we're doing something for the public good.
