Struggling to stay motivated towards your goals? Don't worry, you're not alone. The good news is there are things you can do to improve your self-motivation. Being self-motivated is important, it gives you control. Some things lie outside of our control. When we lean on something outside of ourselves for motivation, there's the possibility it can be taken away. With self-motivation, you are much more likely to commit to what you're doing and push yourself. It's ideal to find your motivation from within instead of someone else. Plus it puts into perspective where you are and how you can improve yourself moving forward.
