losing motivation midway

quitting something midway is real bad, just remembering how where you motivated at the beginning of your activity may add more to your pain . if you are a person who starts a new activity in a very energetic way then stops midway then don't worry, there are still some things to do in order to help yourself not to lose the interest that early .

what to do is you lose motivation midway

one of the things you can do is splitting down your big project into many small pieces. for example suppose you have to finish studying 100 pages , putting a goal to finish those hundred pages may cause you to lack motivation as the one percent per page progress will be very small and so you may quit midway. instead you could divide the quantity into a 20 page divisions , and put a goal to complete the five divisions, each 20 pages you will get motivated because you will have made an achievement which is completing 100% of he first section.

another major cause for losing motivation midway is the building of fake beliefs , things like "I tried so hard but its impossible to achieve something like that" or "in this country or at my age success is impossible", fake beliefs are like potential limiters, they are imaginary limits that you put to your abilities which prevents you from doing anything more than you believe you can, while in reality , you are living a big lie, you can do whatever you believe you can do.

this fake belief could be a result of trying many times and failing however it was proven that getting anything that you want is a function of only one thing, the number of tries, if you tried enough times you will definitely get it, whatever it is.

another common reason for quitting midway of an activity is the loss of importance of that activity or the decrease in its priority, suppose that people told you that you gained weight and that you should work out more in ordet to be in form, these words could act as negative motivator for you and drive you to exercise and after some time when you regain back your form you may start to feel a bit lazy for going excising and then quit going, this happened because exercising lost some of its priority from your own point of view.

Finally media can play a very big role in getting you motivated or in draining away your motivation energy, what I mean by media is everything that you watch or hear, starting by the music you like up to the movies you see, whatever you see gets written into the subconscious, the more motivating media you use the more motivation will be a built in part of you.
