How do you keep yourself motivated?

8 Steps to Continuous Self Motivation Even During the Difficult times :

1. Start simple
   Keep motivated around your work area - things that give you the initial spark to get started.

2. Keep a good company
   Do more regular interviews with positive and enthusiastic people. This can be as simple as an instant chat with peers or a quick discussion with a friend who likes to share ideas.

3. Keep Learning
   Read and try to take in everything you can. The more you learn, the more confidence you become in starting projects.

4. See the Good in Bad
   When encountering obstacles or challenging goals, you want to be in the habit of finding what works to get over them.

5. Stop Thinking
   Just do. If you find motivation for a particular project lacking, try getting started on something else. Something trivial even, then you’ll develop the momentum to begin the more important stuff.

6. Know Yourself
   Keep notes on when your motivation sucks and when you feel like a superstar. There will be a pattern that, once you are aware of, you can work around and develop.

7. Track Your Progress
   Keep a tally or a progress bar for ongoing projects. When you see something growing, you will always want to nurture it.

8. Help Others
   Share your ideas and help friends get motivated. Seeing others do well will motivate you to do the same. Write about your success and get feedback from readers.
