Five Methods to Motivate

Feeling sluggish?  Worried about getting back to ‘normal’ life when this pandemic is over? (Commuting to the city, taking the kids to activities, etc.). Here are some quick tips to motivate you -

1. With any planning, keep it simple and grow from there
2. Acknowledge the occasional success, no matter how small it may seem (Eg, My kids wore matching socks this morning. Yay!)
3. Create regular mini-rewards (Eg, Hello, Starbucks…!)
4. Review progress and adjust the timescale for each goal (Don’t be that annoyingly stubborn stick-in-the-mud)
5. Prioritise rest and relaxation (No rewards for Martyrs here)
