Transcript
| 00:01 | Yeah , yeah . Do you ever find yourself feeling | |
| 00:23 | lazy with no drive to finish your homework ? Or | |
| 00:28 | perhaps you just don't feel like doing things you've been | |
| 00:30 | talking about for ages . If this is the case | |
| 00:35 | , you might be experiencing a lack of motivation . | |
| 00:39 | Motivation is the feeling inside us that drives us to | |
| 00:45 | get things done or to take action to achieve our | |
| 00:48 | goals . Think about what you like to do . | |
| 00:52 | Do these things feel like a chore , or can | |
| 00:54 | you get started on them right away ? If you | |
| 00:57 | get excited and driven to complete tasks or are keen | |
| 01:01 | to try new activities , there are signs that you | |
| 01:04 | are motivated . Some people find motivation within themselves based | |
| 01:11 | on feelings and emotions , like wanting to do really | |
| 01:16 | well at sports team tryouts because it makes them feel | |
| 01:19 | confident and happy . This is called internal motivation . | |
| 01:24 | Mhm . Others find motivation from things happening around them | |
| 01:30 | , like getting a sticker or house points from a | |
| 01:33 | teacher for picking up rubbish . This is called external | |
| 01:37 | motivation . Everybody is different . Some people are motivated | |
| 01:43 | by themselves and their own desire to succeed , while | |
| 01:48 | others may feel most motivated when they receive rewards or | |
| 01:52 | praise from other people . But sometimes it can be | |
| 01:57 | difficult to get motivated to do something , regardless of | |
| 02:01 | where the motivation is coming from . Other times , | |
| 02:04 | emotions such as fear can get in the way of | |
| 02:07 | our motivation . Maybe when you've tried something and being | |
| 02:11 | hit with fear , you found yourself thinking , I | |
| 02:14 | want things to stay the same If I succeed , | |
| 02:19 | What if I have more responsibility ? I'm probably not | |
| 02:24 | going to be very good at it . And overcoming | |
| 02:29 | your fears can feel amazing and can also supercharge your | |
| 02:34 | motivation . When you stop worrying about what could go | |
| 02:38 | wrong , you open yourself up to some fun and | |
| 02:41 | exciting opportunities . Here are a few super easy tips | |
| 02:46 | you can do to develop your motivation . Pair it | |
| 02:50 | up , pair something you don't like doing with something | |
| 02:55 | you love doing . Do you hate folding your clothes | |
| 03:00 | or making your bed ? Mm . Try pairing these | |
| 03:03 | activities with something you really enjoy . Like listening to | |
| 03:07 | your favorite song and dancing . You will start to | |
| 03:11 | use the natural motivation . You have to do what | |
| 03:13 | you love to help complete those slightly less fun tasks | |
| 03:21 | . Reward yourself . Yeah . Mm . Is there | |
| 03:28 | something you can treat yourself to after doing something you | |
| 03:32 | don't really like to do , it might be reading | |
| 03:35 | your favorite book , playing outside with your friends or | |
| 03:39 | doing any of your favorite activities . Mhm . Mhm | |
| 03:47 | , yeah , create a habit . The more you | |
| 03:51 | do something , the more it becomes a habit and | |
| 03:55 | the more you will want to do it . Think | |
| 03:57 | of a walking track filled with weeds and grass . | |
| 04:00 | The more times you walk along it , the clearer | |
| 04:03 | the path becomes and the easier it is to get | |
| 04:06 | through it . Your brain works the same way when | |
| 04:09 | creating a new habit . The more you do it | |
| 04:12 | , the easier it is for the brain to become | |
| 04:14 | motivated to complete that task and finally take small steps | |
| 04:22 | . Sometimes tasks can feel overwhelming or too hard , | |
| 04:27 | and this can be an instant motivation stopper . The | |
| 04:30 | best tip is to break tasks down into mini steps | |
| 04:34 | . Do you have to write a story for your | |
| 04:36 | English class ? Start with writing a list of steps | |
| 04:40 | you need to take , like writing the title , | |
| 04:44 | mhm , coming up with the main character and creating | |
| 04:47 | an introduction . This will be way easier than jumping | |
| 04:52 | into the deep end and tackling the whole task in | |
| 04:54 | one go . Once you start taking off easy things | |
| 04:58 | at the beginning , you'll find that the ball starts | |
| 05:00 | rolling and the other parts of the tasks are easier | |
| 05:03 | to handle . Motivation is a really important quality to | |
| 05:09 | have . It's the energy that drives our actions and | |
| 05:14 | can encourage us to keep trying and to improve ourselves | |
| 05:18 | . Yeah , if you have trouble getting motivated for | |
| 05:21 | particular things , it could be a sign that you | |
| 05:24 | need a little practice so it becomes easier or that | |
| 05:27 | you need to start taking smaller steps . Either way | |
| 05:33 | , the key is to keep at it and not | |
| 05:35 | give up . |
