How can I get self motivated?

It’s 5 in the morning, the alarm is ringing, I dismiss the alarm and jump off the bed. Starting the day with a cup of coffee with 30 minutes of reading, then I put my running shoes on and go out for a run. While this is a great way to start the day and this might keep you filled with motivation throughout the day, this doesn’t work for everyone and not even me. I find it very difficult to wake up in the morning, even though I plan to, and this fills my morning with low motivation and the regret of not being able to wake up and wasting a lot of morning productive hours. To be more realistic there is no connection between motivation and your ability to wake up early in the morning. Yes, it is true that waking up in the morning does give one added hours, but I like getting things done at night and that is when my creativity is flowing and I am highly motivated to get things done. Waking up early would mean to give up on my most productive hours as I will have to sleep early to get a good sleep. I do wake up early but not that early. So this was about the start of the day and this is one of the most common reasons why most of us are not able to motivate ourselves and start the day because the guilt of not being able to wake up early. There is no single answer that I can tell you, that you start applying and are motivated. It might be the reason why you are reading this post, but motivation doesn’t work like this. There is no single way to get motivated, motivation works differently for everyone. You can get motivated by watching a video or reading an article or maybe just after a fight. Motivation is about your driving force, it is yours, so no one else can tell you how to get that self motivation in you. The thing that motivates me might just demotivate you or maybe might not even make sense to you. Motivation is not about loving or enjoying what you are doing, but motivation is all about the whys in what you are doing. Motivation is the hope, the desire that drives you to do a particular thing. Motivation is not a goal, but it is more about the excitement on the way to that goal. Self-motivation is an art of finding that reason to get excited. Motivation is not something that you achieve, but it is that power that makes you achieve. So get out there, find the things that excite you, the reasons that push you towards taking actions and achieve that goal you want to achieve.
