What are your methods for regaining motivation

Here are my personal hacks:

1. Change which sites you visit most often
2. Meditation
3. Stop consuming or at least consume less and create more
4. Stop Procrastinating:
   • Get up, stretch, and do some exercises
   • Take a cold shower
   • Eat a healthy breakfast
   • Study
5. Never give up

I recently wrote a post about it as well here:

By setting up systems that you hold yourself account to i.e. one hour of coding a day, you can start to drive behaviors and discipline. Motivations comes from the action of doing something not from wanting to start it 👍

Here's some tips that work for me. They don't necessarily help with motivation, but they do help me to continue doing my work even if I'm not motivated:

1. Just lie down for a while, keeping your eyes closed, and letting your thoughts wander. Let your thoughts flow and keep observing them without judgement.
2. Workout at home for at-least an hour.
3. Go out for a walk in the morning when the sun isn't too hot. Sunlight really helps with the mood - I remember reading studies on how lack on sunlight/vitamin D can make you prone to depression.
4. Intermittent fasting again has effects that are not necessarily physical but also emotional/mental energy state. I can't remember the exact studies though. But it has worked wonders for me
5. Go to sleep at a fixed time and wake up at a fixed time, every day.

Here are my personal idea's:

1. Try to have full energy which is best for healthy issue.
2. Understand that you are a human being
3. You must have a believe on God tell Him your worries.
4. Try to meditated

Make a written list of why you do what you do, what are the things you want the most, also what you dont want to happen if you fail. Stick this up where its always visible.

Personally having gone through a dip, and needed motivation, here are a couple of personal hacks.

1. Don't give up.
2. Take breaks often and by take a break, I mean think of anything and everything else but the actual piece of work.
3. Get up and stretch.
4. Breathing exercises.
5. Read more.
6. Take walks often.
7. Lastly, don't give up!!!

Keep thinking of monthly bills maybe 😆

For me :

• Eat healthy food
• Listen to some random musics instead of existing playlist
• Hangout with friends or family
• Reading books

To be fair, I try not to rely on motivation, just disipline.

This is a tough one. A 20-minute walk works for me every time.
