Hey there everyone!<\/p>\n
If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask you to put on your thinking caps, and answer a question for me.<\/p>\n
Have you lost your motivation to do something, or anything at all even?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If so, that’s ok! In fact, I recently found myself in\u00a0the same situation. Lately,\u00a0the sun has been going down earlier every night, and\u00a0I\u2019ve been finding myself awash in darkness for longer and longer periods. Of course, I should be doing something\u00a0with myself during these evening hours.<\/p>\n However, I just couldn’t find it in myself to! Instead, I would kill time\u00a0with unproductive things, or at least things that I viewed as unproductive: eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, etc.!<\/p>\n There’s been a lot written on\u00a0the topic of motivation, but for me, and what\u00a0I\u2019ve realised, is that motivation itself is not some special feeling or attitude that you have. Instead, motivation stems from overall wellbeing and happiness. For me, it didn’t take one specific ‘eureka’ moment when I found my motivation.<\/p>\n Instead, motivation for me comes after any positive experience, or when\u00a0I’m feeling good. Sometimes,\u00a0I\u2019ll hear a good song and get motivated. Other times,\u00a0I\u2019ll meet\u00a0with friends and have a good time doing yoga. Or, as is most often\u00a0the case,\u00a0I\u2019ll have a great surf, leave\u00a0the water\u00a0with a huge smile on my face, and be in a good mood for\u00a0the rest of\u00a0the day. It’s those days where\u00a0I’m at my best, and I can get\u00a0the most done!<\/p>\n So, instead of focusing hard on motivating yourself, or trying to focus specifically on English, try and think about yourself on a deeper level. Why are you unmotivated to study? Or, are you really unmotivated to study specifically? Instead, maybe something else is missing.<\/p>\n What you need to do is ‘get\u00a0the ball rolling’, which is to get your life started and back on track! Find what makes you happy, and indulge! It can be anything; athletics, art, music, reading…the list goes on and on and on…<\/p>\n So, while you may be lacking motivation, if you can find other positives about your life, you might suddenly find yourself fully motivated to do something like study English!<\/p>\n And of course,\u00a0I\u2019ll be right here on\u00a0Fruitful English waiting for you! In fact, one of\u00a0the things that motivates me and makes me happy is working. People often ask me about my schedule, and I tell them that I work almost every day,\u00a0with virtually no holidays. I also work nights and mornings! However, working makes me happy, and I wouldn’t have it either way.<\/p>\n Workaholic or not, it motivates me, and I hope I could inspire you to be happy. I think you’ll find yourself more motivated as a result!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey there everyone!
