Signed: B.I. ~ UnMotivated

A: To be honest, staying motivated can be difficult whenever you are facing life’s issues. You get weighed down and feel as though you will never be able to smile or see the light of your situations. However, that is not true at all. Staying motivated during those times can be hard BUT achievable. Here are few strategies that you create a routine with to help you stay motivated.

1. Surround yourself with positive people at work and personal life. Sometimes our environment can be a major factor in how we deal with the issues.
   
2. Create your visible wall of positive quotes, prayers, and affirmations. Pull them from various resources including the internet.
   
3. Talk to yourself daily! Yes, you can talk to yourself. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that everything will be OK.
   
4. Don’t compete with anyone else. Don’t compare your issues with anyone else. Know that whatever you are dealing with, it can be resolved.
   
5. Pray and meditate. Your answers will come in many forms.
   
6. Seek professional help such as Career, Financial, Life and Relationship Coaches. Many times, our issues just need professional assistance that can guide us.

Just know that your issues are not bigger than God. You must keep the faith and every day that you wake, be grateful for a brand new day.

Until next time, laugh, live, and love life!

Love,
