Cara 'Maintain' Motivasi Anda

Kita semua pernah dengar peribahasa ini " hangat-hangat tahi ayam ". Ada kalanya, kita juga mengalaminya.

Pada mulanya, semangat berkobar - kobar mahu lakukan " sesuatu ".
Motivasi pun tinggi!
Semangat tinggi!
Bersungguh-sungguh dan penuh keyakinan.

Alih-alih, 2 - 3 hari atau 2 - 3 minggu atau 2 - 3 bulan kemudian, habis
semuanya lentur.
Motivasi, semangat dan keyakinan . . . hilang . . .

Bagaimana caranya untuk " maintain " dan meneruskan sesuatu motivasi?

Caranya ialah dengan melakukan " sesuatu " tersebut setiap hari. Jangan lakukan sedikit sahaja atau sekadar cukup syarat. Tetapi, lakukanlah dengan bersungguh - sungguh setiap hari. Ini akan menambahkan momentum anda.

Caranya ialah jangan biarkan satu hari berlalu tanpa anda melakukan perkara tersebut kerana ini akan mengurangkan momentum anda.

Aplikasi cara ini untuk apa sahaja yang anda ingin lakukan. Kebanyakan kita sering mengalami penyakit hangat - hangat tahi ayam ini. Ia amat merugikan apabila momentum kita hilang.
