Have you ever tried to implement a new habit, only to give up after a few days?

The world can be full of negativity. That’s why it’s so important to stay positive and motivated, despite the situations you may face — good or bad.

When you’re lacking motivation or energy, start with these three questions:

• What do you want out of this day?
  
  
• What have you done today to get closer to those things?
  
  
• What could you do right now that would move you toward your goals?

Honest answers to the questions above are good to energize you for each day’s activities.

Remember that only you and your mindset can generate the positive energy you need. Different things motivate everyone. First, understand what motivates you.

Let these self-improvement tips guide you to stay positive and motivated:

1. Set aside time for yourself every day. Practice self-care. Even if it is 5 minutes every day, know that you deserve it.
2. Reward yourself for every little thing. Self-reward doesn’t always need to be money or time-consuming. The minor things you don’t value do the wonders.
3. Surround yourself with positive-minded people. Sometimes you need a little extra push to get through the day. It’s like a breath of fresh air when you’re feeling down.
4. Help others. Creating a positive influence in people’s lives brings an unusual feeling of joy.
5. Visualize yourself succeeding. Take a few minutes every morning or evening to picture what it would be like for you to succeed.
6. Starve your distractions. It’s so easy to let yourself get distracted, isn’t it? When you don’t feed your distractions, you’ll get more time for yourself.

Many of us struggle to stay motivated and positive these days. With all the negativity, sometimes we may feel like we are not making any difference. Let these tips be a booster for you to escape negativity and stay motivated.
