The constant pressure to look good, do a good job, and compete for wealth and love can create a great source of stress, and sometimes we have moments when our spirits are down. . Try not to get discouraged - it happens to everyone, though. If you're having trouble maintaining your motivation, whether at work or in life in general, try to refocus your energy, have a vision of everything, and recharge your spirit. You will soon exit the rut.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Maintain focus

1. 

   Encourage yourself. While the demands of work and everyday life always go on, our will and passions are sometimes not mission-oriented. We get low results. That makes it difficult to complete daily tasks. During times of low productivity, we need to remind ourselves to stay motivated. Find ways to help you focus on what to accomplish and stay focused.
   • Remember your long-term goals. If you are discouraged, take a step back and try to have a vision of the situation. What are you doing? Why? Remind yourself of how hard you've worked, and remember that it's easier to stay on top than going back and then chasing to catch up afterwards.
   • Successful rehearsal before. Recall when you did something important - be it winning an "employee of the year" award or gaining special recognition for volunteering. Remember the good memories.
   • You can also try reminding yourself of your strengths. Write down areas in which you have skills and strengths. An increased sense of self can be a powerful source of encouragement.
   • Record your achievements every day. Take the evening to examine and acknowledge what you have accomplished. Please take a few minutes. Create a list of achievements. You might be surprised by the number of jobs listed.
   • If the cause of your fatigue worsens, consider taking a day off or plan a weekend for yourself. Take a break and focus on renewable energy.

2. 

   
   
   Be flexible. Life events rarely turn out exactly as intended. We face many unexpected problems related to work, finances, or family, and importantly, readiness to adapt. Being flexible requires an open mindset, a willingness to accept change, and occasional painful decisions. Without the flexibility you may find yourself losing opportunities.
   • One way to become flexible is to be prepared for all possibilities. Think about what will happen in the future, and consider different perspectives or visions. In other words, look at the big picture.
   • Be willing to learn a new skill, method, or way to complete a task. For example, instead of wondering why you recently lost the promotion opportunity, find ways to change that will improve efficiency and productivity.
   • Take risks. Success does not come easy. We often have to take risks in order to gain beneficial opportunities. And if we fail, we can still learn from them and apply them in the future.
   • Don't hesitate to express your feelings a little. Push yourself out of situations you are familiar with. This can be frustrating. It is normal to feel that way, and at least privately, you justify yourself to take a breather and rest.

3. 

   
   
   Slow down yourself. In pursuing your goals, in both work and in life, it can be helpful to know when to stop, take breaks, and relax. Adjusting your pace improves your physical and mental health, while giving you a fresh start with energy.
   • Setting the right pace is as easy as letting yourself take breaks at work from time to time, or change tasks regularly to reduce feelings of fatigue and depression.
   • Listen to your mind and body.If you feel tired and depressed repeatedly, take a break. You can't be productive unless you have energy and focus. If possible, take an hour to lunch and walk.
   • Get enough sleep each night to wake up feeling refreshed - usually around 8 hours is enough. The habit of getting enough sleep allows the brain to function at optimal levels, while lack of sleep can make you wince, tired, and mentally heavy.
   • Enjoy life's joy. Out there is a vast world of good music, movies and books, each of which may be at your best. Drink coffee or hang out with friends or loved ones. An active mindset and social life can provide you with a healthy balance.

4. 

   
   
   Control your time wisely. Perfectionists sometimes have problems with prioritizing. For them, every task, big or small, needs to be completed in its entirety, without errors. However, in reality with many challenges, this attitude leads to a lot of stress. Mental health experts suggest asking "What now?" and confirm what is really urgent and what has a lower priority.
   • Pay attention to times when you are not making an effective choice of the time you spend, if any. Adjust yourself properly.
   • You can try writing down quests and then setting them up in a hierarchy. Some of the quests will be "A". These are the things that you need to focus on the most or that are very urgent. Rate tasks of lower importance at B, C, or D.
   • Do the most important task on the list first of the day, probably around 90 minutes. Then, in the evening, spend 10 to 15 minutes meditating on what you want to accomplish the next day. Create an outline if needed.

Take a little time and breathe. All of this is beyond your control. What's the point of thinking about them? Instead, focus on things that you have an influence on.
