It's a hard question. For me, knowing the career path of my work or how my work can help my career path (maybe it's something completely different from my present job) keeps me motivated.\n\nMotivation has to be tied to something greater: a future career, useful and interesting knowledge, greater income, etc. You should be able to tie motivation to one or more of the things that are important to you. Then you will find meaning in your work.

First I would break your big dreams into smaller goals that you can achieve short term.  This will keep you motivated by giving you instant gratification instead of waiting several years to see your results.  Determine what your motivating factors are and write yourself a mission statement to refer to when feeling less motivated.\n     Next I would make a list of things that would hinder you from reaching your goals and write out a plan of action to handle these situations when they occur.  \n     You also want to make sure to take time for yourself, reward your hard work.  Don't keep yourself from doing the things you enjoy because you are too focused on your end goal.  \n     Throw perfectionism out the window!  Be realistic of failure.  Each time we fail, there is a lesson to learn.  Take the time to learn the lesson and apply it later down the road.  \n     Don't be so down on yourself, negative self-verifying feedback can be one of your biggest enemys.  Focus on your strengths and use that to build your weaknesses.\n     I am a 30 yr old single mom just starting college.  I have had to learn and practice all of the above to continue to achieve my dreams.  GOOD LUCK!!!!

I suggest a schedule of your time.  Allocate times for exercise and don’t let yourself do anything other than that.  I know how it feels to have no motivation and feel like you’ll never get around to exercising.  But I think if you allocate even a really small amount of time and only get a little exercise done, it is more than nothing.  It will make you feel better about yourself, what you can achieve, and you can build on it.  I don’t think you are lazy.  Maybe you could let a close friend know that you need their help to keep you to your schedule, because it’s tough to do it on your own when you have little motivation.

It is not possible to make the same motivation last through the whole process.  you need to find a motivating factor and find differant ways to be reminded of that.

There are two really good books that you have to read.  The first is called, "Ultra Marathon Man"  and the second is called, "The Know-It-All"\nBoth are very motivational.

By asking, you show me you're motivated.  Find out what you enjoy doing - bicycling, walking, swimming, aerobics, weights etc.  Set a reasonable goal - initially 2-3 times per week for 45min to 60 mins per session.  Keep it varied because if you're bored you will quit. Having a friend to encourage you and work out with you will keep you motivated on days you would rather not go.  Other things that help are exercising early in the day - fewer chances for interuptions and excuses.  If you can keep it up for 3 months, it will become a habit and you will begin to miss it if you are unable to make a work-out.

You have to motivate and challenge yourself.  Try doing as many tasks as possible before noon.  Then double that by the end of the week.  Challenges are what keeps us going!

open the link below...u could find some stuff \n\nhttp://www-rcf.usc.edu/~usclrev/pdf/072603.pdf\n\nEmployee Development: Motivate Employee Participation :\n\nWhen companies think of employee development, they often search for training programs, educational seminars, coaching or the latest book that might offer ideas on what employees can do to sharpen skills or strengthen expertise. However, none of these programs will be effective if the organization lacks one critical success factor: individual motivation. An individual has to want to develop himself before any employee training and development program can be successful. \n\nSome say they’re "too busy." Some say they’re "already developed." Some blame the boss. Some like burying their heads in the sand, afraid of what they might learn about themselves. \n\nWhat can you do to help your employees achieve best performance? \n\nHere are some tips to help motivate the seemingly unmotivated and increase your organization’s overall performance. \n\n1. Target the highly motivated and strong performers. \n\nAll organizations have individuals who are highly motivated. They stand out more easily. They typically like challenges and welcome growth opportunities for themselves. Engage them in activities to help them get even better. The improved performance of the highly motivated will help raise the bar for your entire organization. Those who are less motivated will have to step up the pace. \n\n2. Focus on the future. \n\nRather than concentrate on performance areas that aren’t working for an individual, talk about possibilities for the future. It’s easier to become energized about new possibilities than dwelling on weaknesses. Determine the positive outcome that will occur if a change/improvement is made. For example, you might say, "We can reach more buyers if you can speak more frequently to groups. What can you do to hone your presentation skills to help secure more business?" Help employees keep their eye on the goal, not their ego. \n\n3. Open dialogue about desire. \n\nDiscussions about development should be positive and ongoing -- not limited to annual performance reviews. Let the individual lead. Rather than saying, "Here are areas you need to develop," ask "What would help you build on your strengths or increase your effectiveness?" When a particular approach has been identified, ask for commitment to follow-through. Create a culture where ongoing development is expected, encouraged and rewarded at all levels. \n\n4. Start at the top. \n\nExecutives should model the commitment to growth and development that they want to see throughout the organization. After all, many problems disguised as employee development issues actually reflect leadership deficiencies of the firm or organization. \n\nConsider using assessments of some kind to help employees gain a more objective perspective about them. Assessments can be helpful or destructive depending on how they are used. \n\nIn the end, it’s all about achieving what both the employees and what the organization wants. Be clear about what’s most important to both. \n\nAn employee development and training program is not something to be checked off on a checklist. The strongest organizations make employee development an integral part of their culture and strategies for success. They constantly seek new and innovate ways to engage their people in development opportunities to achieve best results.\n\n\nLeading\n\nAn organization has the greatest chance of being successful when all of the employees work toward achieving its goals. Since leadership involves the exercise of influence by one person over others, the quality of leadership exhibited by supervisors is a critical determinant of organizational success. Thus, supervisors study leadership in order to influence the actions of employees toward the achievement of the goals of the organization.\n\nSupervisors can learn about

You lack motivation. The soulution is not more discipline or forcing yourself to move , but to find something you really like, something that motivates you.

Interest is the best motivator. If you like a thing you tend to do it better and enjoy it.

Stay away from the people who are bumming you out. You have to put the most important things to do in your life first! Try to stay away from the things that stress you out. as far as the environment change it if you can. I hope this helps. keep motivated by doing things that you enjoy. if not all the time, most of the time. And if you have to many things going on your best bet is to eliminate some lesser thing you do not need to do.

Are you sure you can motivate others?\n\nIf you believe this, then perhaps you could find someone who can do the same for you.\n\nBut I am sceptical that someone who cannot motivate themselves could really motivate others.\n\nPerhaps you could ask yourself what is your motivation for attempting to motivate yourself. Furthermore you could ask yourself what is your motivation for "losing motivation", once you have it.

You have to first think back to a time when you felt most proud of yourself, and use that for whatever may come. If that doesn't work for you, then you should look at the present. You want to be motivated to do something, and in order to do that you just need to do it. Much like doing the dishes. There is a huge pile to do, but you lack the motivation to do it. Maybe the result will inspire you. Once the dishes are done and cleaned, you can look back on that accomplishment. This may be from someone who hates doing the dishes, but does it to complete a chore. Think of what you need motivated as a game, when you're competing against yourself, the only winner is you.
