heyyy how are u ?
so humโฆI lost all my motivation. I was really determined to study and not give up, u know?
but now I don't care. My grades arenโt catastrophic but I know I could do better. The problem is that Iโm no longer motivated to study. I don't know if u have any advice to get the motivation back or to help me move forward little by little.
thank u ๐ฉถ๐ฉถ
Hi! Motivation is a tricky thing, but that doesnt mean is hardest thing in the world to get back. Here are some tips to do it:
Set small rewards for yourself after tasks. For example, at the end of an assigment, eat your favourite snack; promise yourself to watch an episode of your fav show after 40minutes of studying, etc. Something short-term, simple and not-study related.
"What will happen if i dont do this?"
Build a rutine. When motivation goes on vacation, discipline will be your saviour
Get an study buddy or someone doing something productive (not nessesaryly the same as you are doing). Seeing another person doing stuff is motivating.
Start with a super simple small task, like making your bed. Get into a "productive streak"
Set an alarm. If you know you'll dismiss it, set two, three, four, ten, a thirty alarms. (Dont do this with waking up though, only for study sessions and stuff, it is proven setting multiple alarms for WAKING UP is harmful)
Romantice it. Study with your favourite drink, go to a cafe or a park, take nice pictures, write pretty notes, anything that makes studying look fun will do.
Turn your phone off. "What does this have to do with motivation?" Turn your phone off for more than an hour. No, you cant watch TV or a movie either, or play games in your computer. Everything off. We, humans, do anything when we are bored just for the sake of doing something.
Progress is progress. Dont beat yourself up if you dont do as much as you wanted to. It'll only desmotivate you.
hope this helps!

๐ญ. high quality sleep ( ๐ค )
never put your sleep on the back burner, 8 hours are not even enough, the younger you are the more you need sleep, especially if you are a woman. adult women generally need to sleep 9/10 hours a night, obviously the amount of sleep needed for rest depends from person to person, but always try to have a good, consistent sleep at night. if you ever think about sacrificing your sleep to study and/or procrastinate, know that you're only hurting yourself in the long run. without adequate rest, you will not be able to function properly and perform at your best the next day.
๐ฎ. eat nutritious meals ( ๐ )
when was the last time you ate a nutritious, warm, homemade meal, honey? you should eat at least (AT LEAST) 3 times a day a real, cooked, warm meal that provide you with the proteins, fats and sugars your body needs to function normally. throw away packaged and over-processed snacks, they don't meet your energy needs and are simply full of empty calories that will make you feel sick and don't help your beautiful brain to function. eat lots of protein, which helps you build the muscle mass that keeps you healthy (i'll post about that) and healthy fats which keep your beautiful brain working โ the brain is mostly made up of fats so don't be afraid of them! the important thing is to eat healthy fats that are good for our body.
๐ฏ. less is more ( ๐งฉ )
do less to achieve more. if you've ever made an absolutely unrealistic to-do list, raise your hand. overwhelmed by a thousand things to do we will never be able to make consistent progress in an area that interests us. it is not possible to do everything all the time and do it well, inevitably our energy runs out, our level of attention drops and we end up doing a little bit of everything badly. not all tasks can have priority, choose what to focus on and stick with it.
๐ฐ. be gentle with yourself ( ๐พ )
you're really giving it your all, why be so hard on yourself? the things you have done, the goals you have achieved, you should be proud of yourself and smile about it. demanding too much from your body will not lead to anything except burnout, remember that you are a person and not a machine, that you are not made to make every single hour of your day productive, and that it is okay to rest, because only thanks to rest you can face your day with the necessary energy.

I think that the Universe works in mysterious ways and if something or someone is meant for you, at the right moment you'll have it, and I think everything happens with a reason, every feeling you go through, every relationship/friendship/job/school moment etc. And we don't realize that until after these things are gone or until they already happened, sometimes you wish to get some things back from your past but what if the Universe has something better to offer for you in the present?
i just want to be a better woman. upgrade my vocabulary, my lifestyle, how i handle people + situations. i am focused on positivity and growth. i don't want any distractions or negativity around me while i am on this evolving journey.
