How to stay motivated all the time – Our life is how we imagine it. In other words, our life is our own making. The meaning of the word “Motivation” is process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors

For an aspirant, the process is to work hard and the reward is getting your dream job. During the preparation stage for any exam, aspirants face multiple factors which cause ups and downs in motivation level. But the ultimate aim of getting his/her dream job should keep his/her motivation levels high. But, this rarely happens. The reason for the same has been discussed below in detail:

• Daydreaming – Many aspirants spend most of their time daydreaming. Infinite hours are spent on imagining various roles, positions that they could play to tackle a particular problem or trying to imagine themselves as becoming a celebrity and get famous in their area, village and family, or by clearing an exam.

Such a dreaming is not a bad thing. But, you should understand that daydreaming will only motivate you for some time only. This sort of motivation fizzles out soon.

To succeed you need a long-term motivation.

If you think that reading the success story of a topper or a neighbor will bring you motivation, then you are highly mistaken. You will feel motivated for some time but after sleep, a new day and new challenges fall upon you, thereby fading away the motivation that you had gained yesterday night!

Though it may not be the case every time as sometimes few success stories do push you to achieve some things in life, you will be motivated to achieve the same. But this only helps you remember your goal. It always doesn’t help you get up and get going.

Apart from this common question that How to stay motivated all the time ? Another question that pops up in aspirants’ head is how to sustain motivation during your entire exam preparation?

• Remove all sort of pressures from your head
• Be independent in your approach
• Relieve yourself from the thoughts of making parents happy or seeking revenge from your ex girlfriend/boyfriend, stop listening to the songs such as “Thukra ke mera pyar….” Believe us this will not take you anywhere not even near to your dream job.
• Keep your focus on Today.
• Make a list of the things you want to do today and finish off those things according to set priority.
• Find a purpose of clearing a certain exam. Find a purpose everyday and work until you actually fulfill it.
• You gotta love whatever you do. Love reading, love writing and even if you are resting then love that moment and relax for sometime.

If you follow above points, you will not be demotivated as you will love whatever you will do because now you will have a purpose. Further, it will pace up the things for you. You don’t have to worry about having less time at your disposal.

It can be made possible if you decide to work hard for today, to achieve your today’s target. When you start thinking more and more about tomorrow and about succeeding, the reverse thing happens – you start losing confidence and the goal appears distant. This brings us to yet another question Is there any pill for motivation and consequently many candidates end up taking sleeping pills which deteriorate their health. The fear eventually turns your goals into a nightmare, that’s why, to keep motivation high, you should prepare a small action plan for today and follow it religiously. Making small and measurable goals will not only keep your anxiety away but will also keep a check on your daily targets.

To conclude, let us see a quote by Benjamin Franklin which says, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” Prepare your today and your tomorrow will be easy to sail. You should be prepared to fail too, for when failure stares at you, you too can stare back at it.

Though it is easier said than done, we do go through multiple difficulties during the preparation phase but we have got quotes to help you sail through every situation, so here is one, “if you are going through hell, keep going”, believe us you are on right path. JUST KEEP GOING!!!

If you are facing any kind of difficulties, feel free to share it with us. No problem is as big as your dream.

Good Luck Aspirants
