What are some good ways to motivate yourself to do things?
I've been having a hard time with motivation lately. I'd appreciate any advice you have on getting yourself interested and involved in what you're doing.

Kira Budge Do you have any ideas how? It's not like I have money to spend on myself, and rewarding myself with food would just make me unhealthy. I already love food too much haha. -

Jakesoso I take Herberall to help me get going. It's a natural alternative to Adderall, my mom bought it for me and it's been great. Otherwise I get super lazy and don't do anuything all day

Hire a hit man to kill you if you don't get it done. Seriously though, what sort of "things" are you trying to do? Sometimes making it a competition is motivating sometimes asking others to join you makes it more fun. Rewards may work. Deprivation might be motivating as well. Tell yourself you can't have ___________ until its done. I could probably give better suggestions if I had more specifics.

I schedule my day in advance if there is something I know I have to get done but don't want to do. I will not turn on the tv or my computer or do anything that may otherwise easily distract me. I always follow my schedule to a "T", and reward myself afterward with something yummy - for me lately, I have been way into cashews, so I rewarded myself with an oz of roasted, unsalted cashews. I know, cashews are boring...well, not to me... but you get my drift...

Look in the mirror and tell yourself, "Enough is enough."

You might have depression or something like that which makes you have a hard time with motivating yourself but I could be wrong. Whatever your situation is, try to distract yourself in a good way by finding out what makes you happy. Walking is good for your mental health and something like listening to music or whatever you feel that makes you happy and focus on that particular thing which should keep you motivated. Personally, I go for walks, meet a friend for a coffee (talking about things can make you feel better), listen to music, practice on my drums and write poetry. Ignore certain answers on here that will put you down mentally.
