  • dont overschedule yourself

  • avoid negativity - the shows we watch, books we read, people we surround ourselves with and music we listen to can all have an effect on our mental health and in turn our motivation

  • socialize and create and support network

  • get enough sleep


  • understand your WHY

  • define your goal and create a clear vision of what you want

  • give yourself deadlines and have someone help hold you accountable

  • keep it fun and reward yourself

  • visualize yourself succeeding


  • importance of taking action…you’re going to be uncomfortable…avoiding discomfort now is only going to cause more later…lack of action can lead to depression which again leads to even less action…

  • do something you can control - exercise, eating, ACTION

  • taking a break from action for too long, like more than a day, makes it even harder to take action

  • look for inspiration…really think about everything your heros had to do to get where they are…no one wakes up every day and is movitvated to write a song, or paint, or write, or create…we’re all human.

  • ask yourself if you’d rather be uncomfortable now, or deal with regret later
