HOW TO REGAIN YOUR MOTIVATION

There's nothing better than feeling inspired and motivated to do something. Whether that be eating healthy, going zero waste or exercising regularly - am I right? But, this feeling of motivation can sometimes fade after a while.

I've found that the best way to regain your motivation (at least for me) is to either watch some inspirering and motivating videos or documentaries, or to read a book concerning the subject you want to regain your motivation upon.Sometimes I can start thinking "does it really matter whether if I buy my skincare products in plastic?" or something like that. When I begin to feel like this once in a while, I know that it's time to look at the things that got me into these values in the first place.So, then I start to watch documentaries about how the environment is being destroyed by human actions, or I choose to watch inspirering Lauren Singer and how she makes living zero waste look so easily and fashionable - and not long after, I've fully regained my motivation and determination to do something about whatever it is that I want to do.You might know what your values are, but it can be so easy in a busy everyday life to get distracted and start to not care that much about certain things - and therefore, I find it so important to keep yourself reminded by watching movies, documentaries, reading books or watching youtube videos which keeps reminding you of why you chose to do what you do.

A tip for you, is to write down:

- a list of why you want to do these things

fx I will not buy products sold in plastic, because I do not want to contribute to more plastic in the world

- a list of what you can do to improve within the areas where you are clear on your values

fx I keep a list of zero waste goals, and then one by one, slowly, I try to focus on a new habit and implement it into my life

- a list of movies, documentaries, books etc. which you know will inspire you

Keep this list for those days where you need a reminder, and just watch a quick youtube video that inspires you, or watch a bunch of documentaries 

What is your best way(s) to regain your motivation? And which things in life excites you the most?
