smh... student motivation hints

Doesn't it feel good when you're on a roll? Doesn't it feel terrible when you're overwhelmed with too much to do? There's only one difference: the vibe you CHOOSE. 

When faced with challenges, are you a baby? Maybe you should be... What can we learn from babies about how to face challenges? 

Motivation drops when we're doing the wrong thing. The faster you notice you're going down the wrong path, the better. Then you RESET AND RESTART. 

Humans focus on the negative, but can we discover the hidden positives? Criticism is hard to hear, but what does it tell you about your mindset, your environment, your focus and goals?

Life is a cycle of experiments. Your brain only learns how you succeeded or failed if you can identify the specific ingredients that got you there. So look closely, and move forward intelligently. 

Learning is easy when you are interested, but sometimes subjects aren't that interesting... WRONG! Find a way to connect with anything on a personal level, and foster that fascination and love of learning. A teacher can do it, a peer can do it, but YOU CAN TOO.

Pair up; throw DOWN. Find the person that makes you better in school, life, sports, work, and help make them better too! 

Who is impacting you positively? Have you told them recently? Share your love when you are thankful for others, and do it often! Everybody wins. 

When things are going great, dig in to what you did to feel that good. Usually, I find it stems from productivity. Getting things done is AWESOME, and inspires you to get even MORE done. So get started, get stoked, and keep stacking!
