Why do i always lose interest when i get closer to my goal?

Once you get close to your goal, you then know that you will be able to achieve what you started out to do. This will take away the motivation you had before you knew if the goal was achievable or not. To sum up, the task no longer holds a challenge for you....... No challenge = No motivation.

You understand it, then detach from it and rememberthe feeling. Once you come to grips you can only go up from there. start off with small goals and work your way up doing larger tasks. Don't overwhelm yourself and be sure to talk to someone to get another view or just to vent.

went through the same thing...I tried using that to my advantage...make that your main motivation....you have not failed unless you have decided not to get back up and try again...try and think of it as..."failure is not an option" and will never be...\n  you will over come your obsticals trust me...you can and will be someone

i'm like that....i'll like someone until they show too much interest then i get over it but if they stop showing interest i usually start getting interested again....i think with most people, like me, it's being afraid of committment.

after a while you body gets used to the same exercise... simply increase the pace or adjust in to make i harder to wwalk or if it has an incline feature... uo prolly have reached a plateau in your workout.

I know exactly how you feel! I always start things and then when they don't go the way I think they will, I just stop doing it. You can always think about how you will feel when you accomplish something. No matter how small it is, you can be proud that you actually followed through and finished a task. People tend to try and get the approval of others to feel good about what they have done. It feels so much better though when you are the one you are trying to make happy. Self-affirmation is so important! Even if you are all alone and don't want to finish something, just think about how you will feel when you are done! I try and do small tasks throughout the day, so I don't get overwhelmed by too many long-term goals. Hey, so what if all I did was vacuum? It is something that I managed to accomplish. I always try to remind myself that I need to focus on the now, and take one step at a time. I know we all want to focus on results, but that gets too frustrating and makes us quit. Focus on the journey! Good luck to you!

Find new things, groups, experiences etc... to occupy your time.  I love change.  I get very antsy and bored quickly.  I constantly change my activities and interests in order to compensate for this.  Constantly find new projects, groups for your kids, write a book.  Whatever interests you.  Only you can determine what will make you happy.  Maybe a new degree and a career change.  Explore your interests!

i'd rather ask 'who'? It is only 'you' who keep yourself from accomplishing your goals. Now, what makes you do that?...here are some things maybe...\npast failure (which u must get over)\nlaxity (which is a bad habit u must break)\ndoubts/hesitation (which u must decide to confront)\nreality (meaning, your goals might be too big for u, or maybe they're not right for u- u were meant to do something else)\nlack of encouragement (in w/c case u should seek friends who could honestly and wisely advice and encourage u about things)\n\nbest wishes, pastor's wife. http://mwfrc.blogspot.com

because sometimes u can't make that person loves u back which is a physically problem... sometimes u can't express ur self to the person u love... it's all about not giving up.. imagine that u want to reach the highest mountain, in the beginning u might be scared of how tall it's or that u might fall down.. so u take step back.. which is the same thing as when u scare to tell the person or express ur felling.. u must reach that mountain to reach ur goal

Some set goals that are unattainable in a single effort and get discouraged when they fail. Defeat is a hard pill to swallow. Approaching things gradually can usually make your dreams come true.

Do something you like. If you do something you don't like, you can't focus because your interest isn't there.

Because you don't want to zone out.  You know how if you stay still for a while you start day dreaming?  Same thing.  You don't want to be daydreaming with balls going over 100 miles an hour.  You just have to be ready, whether in the field or at bat.

I motivate myself be focusing on one paticular goal.\n\nI keep thinking positively about that one thing pending on the circumstances.

I find the best motivation for exercise is to start just that once. Activity begets activity and once I get back into things I am more enhtusiastic about exercise and I find it more enjoyable.\nAnother suggestion is to get a workout / exercise partner. If you have made a commitment to somebody else you're more likely to stick to it than if you are only letting yourslef down. Arrange to meet a friend for a walk or a game of something or a gym workout. You can be social as well as fit.\n\nGood luck

Everybody gets discouraged at some point in time. Do NOT give up. If you keep at it, there's a chance that someday you'll get what you want. If you give up, then it's never gonna happen! The worst thing that can happen is that you don't make it big-but, if you really love music, then it wasn't a waste of your time, because you spent it doing something that you loved!
