4 Ways To Get Motivated And Inspired

We all have those moments where we just don't feel right. Whether it be the dreaded writer's block, or simply the lack of motivation to get something done. Here are some methods you can use to get yourself back up on your feet and ready to work.

1. Go out and do something.

Whatever it is that you like to do with your free time, do that. Go for a run, hike on your favorite trail, or visit the beach and breathe in the salty sky. Sometimes the quickest fix is simply leaving your work space.

"Go where you feel the most alive."

2. Read a book or listen to music.

Picking up a good book or listening to your favorite music can ween your mind away from whatever stress or thoughts are tying you down. It's such a beautiful feeling getting lost in artists' words.

"The world is so much bigger than your brain -- stop living inside your head."

3. Engage in conversation.

Talk to someone, whether it be your coworker, friend or a stranger you come across at the park. Face to face conversation is refreshing, and you can learn so much by putting yourself out there and talking to someone new.

"People often forget that kindness is free."

4. Reorganize your space.

When you return to your office or work space, clean up your surroundings and organize your items. Having a clean and tidy space will help you stay focused and diligent.

"Have less, do more, be more."

Hopefully you can get past whatever is holding you back. Remember that it is normal to occasionally feel unmotivated and uninspired, but don't let yourself fall into those feelings for long -- you got this.

"I look with my heart and my ears and my mind because beauty is lost looking just with your eyes."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
