“Being Motivated and to Stay Motivated” is two different things.
We all have crossed this at some point in time where we don’t find any motivation around us. At such point, we should try to motivate ourselves by just giving a few credits to our ourselves.

HOW TO BE SELF MOTIVATED?
Self-motivation is all about one’s mind-sets. It is a personal drive to achieve one's goal. Here is the list of two types of mindsets.
· FIXED MINDSET:-
The people who have a fixed mindset have their firm decision. They don’t allow themselves to work a little hard and to improve themselves rather than they just stick to their positions evolved by just talents and intelligence and not working to develop in more effective way.
· GROWTH MINDSET:-
Growth mind-set is just the opposite of fixed mind-set. It is a belief that talents can be improve through hard work. Anybody who is not excellent can achieve anything in their life through the amount of hard work he puts into his goal. An average student can score 1st rank if he motivates himself to work hard to be the better version of himself.

It’s very easy to be motivated rather than to stay motivated.
Here are some tips that will help us to stay motivated.

When you do your favourite things you become more active and you give your 100% into that particular work. So you should always do what you want rather than what others want from you.
· JOT DOWN YOUR PROGRESS:-
In every work, we should list out the things that we had finished and what has to be done to work towards your unfinished list. By seeing the evidence that you are reaching near to your goal helps to motivate ourselves to work more. This creates a positive impact on our mental health.
· BREAK YOUR GOAL:-
When we want to achieve something which is not possible in a day, we can break into parts and try to achieve that. Breaking into parts makes us easier to attain our heights. Start with work which is easier for you to do, this builds confidence among yourself and keeps motivate you to finish it.

WHAT IS INTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL?
Individuals who believe that they control their own life through dedication and hard work and their success or failure is the result of their own efforts. The person who has an internal locus of control takes all the responsibilities of their own actions and the effort they have put it into their work.
WHAT IS EXTERNAL LOCUS OF CONTROL?
The person who has the external locus of control generally believes that the success or failure they had achieved is all because of fate, luck, circumstances, injustice, bias, and so on. In this, the person is not at all responsible for his actions, even though he let go of his stress and be a happier person.
HOW TO STAY FOCUSED?
In every successful story, determination plays an important role. The willpower and how focused you are to achieve your ambition that determines your dedication towards your work.
IMPLEMENT YOUR GOAL INTO YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES:-
INITIATIVE:-
Taking the initiative to do something enables us to finish that task at our own will rather than someone telling us to do. This is the best way to achieve one's goal- we can find out our own strength and weakness by doing things on our own and implement it by ourself without being annoyed.
