Motivation | How to Find!

Do you feel very unmotivated towards your goal? Actually, motivation comes from yourself. However, you can intensify it whenever you want to give up, ensuring that you are always on the right track.

1. Comparison

Humans, especially girls, are born to be competitive. They compare themselves with others, usually who are better than themselves in certain aspects, such as body shape, academic results and skills. These little competitions will spur people to become better, and this will slowly become a type of motivation. For example, some people compare their fat body with an aesthetic body, causing them to create a goal to reach that kind of body. In the gym, for guys, when you see some lean big bodybuilders, you feel small and weak. At most of the times, this makes you want to become similar to them. For most girls, the comparison is much stronger. Some will vomit food that they have just eaten and some will stop themselves to eat and keep exercising. However, these two ways of getting slim are detrimental to our health. Do not try these or you will make yourself die! Hence, comparison creates motivation in most people but for some people, instead of comparing, they choose to admire, which also achieves the same effect.

2. Reflection

You need to know a very significant fact, which is a big goal comprises of many small goals. You cannot make a big transformation of your body in just one day. You got to set very little goals very day, leading you to your big goal. Your everyday tiny goal can be just completing your diet without any cheating, or finishing your workout without giving up halfway. Moreover, you can everyday look at the mirror and admire yourself. Yourself can be a good motivation and sometimes, it is just that you have not realised that you have made good gain or have gotten leaner. Everyday, look at yourself. When you see you gains, you will be motivated and thus continue training and dieting.

3. Music

No motivation? Never mind! Just go to the gym, plug in your earphone, play your favourite musics or a Youtube workout music, and you will be ready. Motivation will set in slowly. Music is not just to avoid boredom, but can affect your emotion, feeling, mood and mind. You can choose and play your favourite songs as long as you feel the willpower in yourself. A study showed that after hearing a short piece of music, participants were more likely to interpret a neutral expression as happy or sad, to match the tone of the music they heard. This also happened with other facial expressions, but was most notable for those that were close to neutral.

4. Scream

Phil Health

You saw powerlifters shout before lifting, did you? You saw fighters shout while punching, did you? This is not that they are crazy or immersed in the activity, nor they want to attract attention or scare off their enemies. When they shout, they release tension in their body and get an invisible power or strength. Their mind will be fresh, clear, and concentrated. In this way, they perform better. Below is a conversation between my school’s Karate teacher and me.

Karate teacher: Where does power come from?

Me                    : Muscles.

Karate teacher: You’re wrong! Power comes from scream!

Now, I guess you know why screaming can create a type of motivation already.
