Module 7- How To Stay Motivated

Hello everybody,

This week’s module focused on improving our ability to motivate ourselves and how to sustain that motivation for academic success. I love music and listening to music is one of my favorite hobbies, as well as something that serves to motivate me and relax me at the same time. I made a playlist recently that helps to serve many moods, also, I have been writing a lot of papers, so music helps me battle writer’s block at times. I also love getting on YouTube and looking up interviews of people of interest and other topics of interest to allow my brain to decompress. While these techniques for staying as sharp as possible and keeping the brain active work very well, I do make sure to not become distracted from these activities. I like to take breaks when my brain seems to be overloaded from too many tasks being tackled at one time. I think that it is easy to put too much pressure on ourselves to work too hard, and we must not forget to take time for ourselves and to take time to reflect on the progress that we have made. Also, we need to be mindful of our stress levels and emotional and mental health, as these areas can be detrimental when we are remiss in our awareness to such things. I hope everyone who reads this will gather something in moving forward that may help your process because it is all about taking baby steps towards our goals.
