Hello. This is Jack from tofluency.com. Welcome to this video we're I'm going to
talk about losing motivation because I've had a couple of emails and comments
recently from English learners telling me that they just feel bad about their
English; they don't feel like they're progressing and that they are losing
their motivation.
Now, this happens to everyone from time to time and I'm sure it has happened to
you.
Now, in my own case I sometimes lose motivation - I sometimes lose that
energy and that desire to continue working towards my goals.
Now, if this happens to you - if you start to lose motivation about learning
English, then the first thing to do is to acknowledge this; to accept it and to
actually realize that this is happening to you because sometimes we try to
ignore it.
We try to just ignore the fact that we don't feel as motivated as we usually
are.
So, once you accept the fact that you don't feel as motivated as usual,
what i recommend doing is taking a break for a day, two days, three days -
take some time off from learning English.
Just get away from it for a while and that break, that rest might be exactly
what you need to get your energy and your motivation back.
This is what I do when I feel bad about my goals when I don't feel motivated.
I just forget about them for a couple of days so that i can get away from them
and get some space.
The next thing to do is to think about why you don't feel motivated and they're
usually two reasons for this:
Firstly, you might not be making any progress with your English. And when you're
not progressing, then it's difficult to feel like this is a worthwhile goal; that
you can actually do this.
The second reason might be
that it's just not fun for you at the moment, and you're doing things that you
don't enjoy, and you feel stressed about learning English instead of enjoying the
process. After thinking about this for a while,
what you can do next is to start again -
create a new fluency plan that is going to take you to the level you want to be
at.
Now, this is where I can really help you. And you probably already have my
five-step plan for English fluency - and if you have it already
then reread it. If you don't have this, then you can get it for free.
This five-step plan is going to help you because initially it teaches you that
it's important to have a goal with a deadline.
Secondly, it's going to help you understand the reasons why you are learning English
so that you can stay motivated throughout the entire process. And it's
going to help you realize exactly what you need to do in order to progress so
that you can feel motivated about doing the right things.
Then, it will show you how you can incorporate this into your own life and
make it fun and then, it's going to show you how to stay consistent and how to
take action over the long term.
After you have got your free book, I want you to leave a comment below and please
tell me if you have gone through a stage where you don't feel motivated about
learning English. You know, explaining this and telling other people that you
have been through this stage is going to help other learners and it's going to
help you -
so, please leave a comment and tell me how you overcame this. So, thank you for
watching!
