Why is motivation important?

Motivation is important because it:

  • provides you with goals to work towards
  • helps you solve problems
  • helps you change old habits
  • helps you cope with challenges and opportunities
    • Getting motivated

    Most people struggle with motivation, but it is even more challenging if you have mental health issues such as depression or anxiety. Here are some tips:

    • Set yourself one specific, achievable goal.
    • Think about how to include that goal in your life, what you need do to make it happen, and then put a timeframe on it (such as a week).
    • Break your goal into small, easy tasks and set regular reminders.
    • Use your family and friends as support – tell them about your goals and encourage them to help keep you motivated.

      Ways to keep on track
      • Make your goal part of your routine by using a diary or app for reminders.
      • Positive self-talk is important and effective in managing depression or anxiety. Instead of saying 'I can't', say 'I can try'.
      • Mindfulness helps keep you relaxed and focused.
      • Start a class or join a support group. Support groups can be as effective as professional help.
      • Reward yourself when you have completed a step or goal.
        • Ways to stay motivated

        Here are some tips:

        • Regularly review your goals and progress. Seeing progress is a great motivator in itself, and also improves your self-esteem.
        • Continue to set new goals. Think about what you want to achieve next week, next month and next year. Tackle one goal at a time so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
        • Keep the momentum up. It takes up to 3 months to develop a new habit, so keeping the momentum and routine helps it feel more automatic over time.
        • Find mentors – a mentor is someone who is experienced in the habit you want to change. Finding social or support groups with the same interest can help you find a mentor.
        • Surround yourself with positive people. Positive friends and family enhance your positive self-talk, which also helps to manage the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
        • Use exercise as one of your daily goals to improve your mental health.
