hey everyone it's adrienne and welcome to
this video today we're going to be talking
about tips and tricks to staying
motivated and happy so I'm not going to
sugarcoat it and pretend or say that these are
life hacks they are not I've gone through a
lot of ups and downs personally with
feeling super motivated one day and
feeling really sad and maybe even a
little bit depressed another day and
first of all, this is completely normal
however there are ways to combat
this so today I'm going to be telling
you guys about some of those things that
i have discovered in my 24 laps around
the Sun. (that was a weird way of saying that)

click it. okay without further ado let's
get into the tips. okay guys so tip number
one for staying motivated and happy is
to set goals for yourself and remind
yourself of these goals setting goals
might seem like a given but reminding
ourselves of our goals isn't so much one.
it's important to track your progress on
your goals because achieving the goal is
obviously a good feeling when you can
see that you're getting really close to
that hopefully you can give you that
extra boost and motivation that you need. tip
number two and my all-time favorite is
to under promise and over achieve. one of my
greatest friends / second mom told me
this some kind of recently and it
honestly was like the most empowering
thing I've ever heard
basically what this means is that you
always want to be under promising and
over-delivering rather than
over-promising and under-delivering
driven people want to succeed and
unfortunately sometimes with success
comes to you need and the desire to
please other people so they are helping
a friend complete a project and they ask
you how long it will take you to finish
now you may get done in four days but
you could get done in two days
what I think you should do is actually
tell them five days that way if you
finish and get them the project anytime
before five days you are over delivering
some what you promised and it is seen as
a positive thing now here's the thing
often killed people make some moves all
motivation most people over promise and
say they will get it done in two days
it's because they want to do a good job
they want to point they want to do it
quickly and efficiently so they're like
oh I'm gonna get it done in two day
the problem is that if it takes you any
longer than two days to complete that
job it is now turned into a negative
thing you over-promised something and
you have under-delivered so if this
applies your own personal goals because
all be enough it is a totally mental
contest thing is that a goal to get a
four-point-oh next semester well if you
got 3.5
gonna be pretty disappointed because you
set a really high goal and you didn't
quite make it
however if you have been able to get at
least a 3.3 this semester and then you
get a 3.5 you have overachieved so now
you're happy you're positive it just
feels better
so in no way is that saying that you
guys should aim low and that you
shouldn't set high goals for yourself
what it just means that you don't want
to be promising other people or yourself
anything that you don't think it's
realistic maybe being a four-point out
good for you still get that four point
out his number three
give yourself break oh my gosh you guys
give yourself you're ready you're going
to go crazy if you don't look like I'm
going crazy
so this is obvious sometimes even the
most hard-working driven people get
overwhelmed and unfortunately being
overwhelmed will not help you be as
productive as you can and it certainly
won't help with her attitude and feeling
towards what you're doing as hard as it
isn't as much stuff as you might have to
do you have to give yourself a break
magazine in getting burnt out is the
number one cause of losing motivation
and not only that but you can start to
really not love doing something that you
used to love to give yourself a break
take a refresher and I promise you
you'll be so much more motivated and
happy and ready to go when you come back
to this number four
do not be so hard on yourself i see over
there in that corner being hard on
yourself and comparing yourself to
others
stop it don't do it the reality of the
situation is that every single person
fall short sometimes i'm going to repeat
that everyone fall short
literally every single person whether
you didn't achieve a certain goal or
maybe you got rejected from a job or a
college or an audition reel I think that
this is completely normal is going to
completely change your attitude and your
motivation model too many people spend
time smoking you're complaining about
how they didn't get up early enough or
they didn't do this one so and so did
that I realizing and accepting that
rejection and failure are natural part
of life you're going to size to
winterize your mind will be much more
tease honestly i swear you guys im a
wise woman okay ruff me is also applied
to that stupid vicious circle of beating
yourself up for being unmotivated I tend
to do that like obvious super lazy one
day and then all I keep myself up for
being lazy and it's like okay girl
you're arguing lady just be lazy accept
it if you're lazy one day and
unmotivated
it's okay if it only happens once in
awhile you probably need that break that
I talked about it number three just
accepted tomorrow's a new day
and life goes on and last but not least
tip number five is to raise the stakes
for yourself now it's a feel-good method
of getting your motivation backup
doesn't quite work there are definitely
other ways to keep yourself accountable
one good way to combat procrastination
is can tell your family and close
friends that you were going to get
something done or tell them your goals
that they will probably best for you and
ask you every single day if you finish
whatever it was because I care about you
and they love you and they want to know
how your life is and it feels a little
bit worse when you say you're gonna do
something and then you want to tell
someone else you didn't do it right
haha if that doesn't work I don't know
go a step further take away your own
cookie privileges or change your own
netflix password but make your roommate
do it you don't know what it is that way
you have to get stuff done
I know that sounds really stupid in
harsh but sometimes it's the only way
you got to do it
