To be successful in any area requires effort and patience. Depending on the direction of development, there are certain psychological techniques and coordination systems that motivate to achieve the best result, for example, for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The 5S system, building a "decision tree", visualization (pictures), citing and Schultz's auto-training are just a few of the techniques and directions that help to overcome your own laziness and weakness on the way to the goal.
How to motivate yourself to lose weight
Motivating pictures for success in losing weight serve to visualize the desired image, as well as compare the result with the previous form.
There are 2 options for placing motivating images:
- In the form of an object to follow... The network has stories of women who have lost weight without harm to the body: the popular singer Polina Gagarina and TV presenter Ksenia Borodina have repeatedly told reporters how they were able to overcome themselves and get rid of at least 5 kg.
- Comparison... Before losing weight, take a photo of your own body, place it on the refrigerator door. Take repeated shots every 2-4 weeks and place them next to the first photo. Comparing the shape in the photographs will allow you to find out how and how much your body changes in the process of losing weight.
Another method that allows you to tune yourself in to lose weight is aimed at publicizing the process of losing weight. Keep a blog on Instagram or Vkontakte, where you will regularly talk about your successes. Share fresh ideas, techniques and practices every day to help you successfully combat weight gain.
The need to regularly publish photo and video reports for subscribers and friends will be an additional incentive in the process of losing weight. Now the network has the ability to communicate with listeners online, in the "Live". Going live will allow you to directly talk about problems with the body, without the possibility of figure flaws in photographs using Photoshop.
How to motivate yourself for sports
Motivating pictures for success in sports can be found on any sports blog or Instagram of a famous star with an ideal figure. Everyone who looks after their body and plays sports feel more confident and look fit, slim, strong and enduring. Keeping fit is beneficial from an aesthetic point of view.
To motivate yourself for sports, you must:
- do auto-training... This is a psychological method of influencing the state of the body through self-hypnosis. The most famous auto-training workout for athletes was suggested by Schultz and includes 6 practical exercises with the body: relaxation of the body; effect on the circulatory system; alignment of the heart rate; breathing harmonization; calming the central nervous system; cooling the frontal lobe of the head;
- visualize the results of success in the chosen discipline... Print posters of a successful idol, find out his life story and path to fame and recognition. This will help you mentally approach the sports star and motivate yourself for the result;
- build a training plan... It is easier to follow a sports regimen when there is clear guidance for action. Mark the dates of your training days on the calendar and share your plans with friends. The desire to keep your word will force you to exercise in a situation when the body is too lazy to start training;
- buy nice outfit... Running is more enjoyable in new sneakers or a T-shirt than in old, worn-out sneakers and a stretched T-shirt. If you invest part of the funds in the purchase of beautiful and comfortable things for sports, the pleasure of the classes will be provided for at least 1-2 months;
- attract friends to joint activities... Working out in pairs is more useful: it helps you not to miss classes and develop interaction skills. In team sports (football, volleyball, handball), training without involving other participants is ineffective;
- blog online... Stories and live broadcasts of the training process on Instagram or Vkontakte stimulate you to fully return in training and adherence to the schedule, since the process will be watched by friends and subscribers;
- buy a subscription or a lesson with a coach... This is a method of financial influence on the body, which is recommended to be used if psychological and free receptions do not have the desired result. Having invested in sports, it is more difficult to give up training: it threatens to waste money.

How to motivate yourself to study
Mastering new sciences and improving professional skills is not always easy.
To motivate yourself to study, you have to use many tricks:
- visualization of plans for the future... Education is necessary for getting a prestigious job, improving one's position in society and personal growth. Making plans about what will give the passage of a new subject, course or diploma will make it easier to learn the material;
- familiarizing those close to classes... To force yourself to learn a paragraph, you can ask family members to check the quality of knowledge or explain the meaning if the study of a particular subject is difficult;
- search for material and non-material incentives... In universities and colleges, those who study well are rewarded with a scholarship, "automatic" passing of exams, or the prospect of employment for a prestigious position;
- a change of scenery... Sometimes, in order to memorize a lecture faster, you need to read it not in your own room, but in the nearest library or on a bench in the park.
How to motivate yourself to learn foreign languages
Mastering a foreign language is a lengthy process that cannot be completed without a clear goal and desire.
To motivate yourself to learn foreign languages, you need:
- draw up a program (plan) for the development of the base: calculate the number of hours and days per week that will be allocated exclusively for mastering a foreign language; prescribe a training schedule: specific days and times;
- to study the symbolism, culture, peculiarities of the country-ancestor of the language... For example, the study of the culture and traditions of Great Britain will allow you to understand the specifics of the pronunciation of English words and their etymology;
- listen to groups that sing in a foreign language, as well as watch movies in the "original" voice acting, but with Russian subtitles to understand the meaning. Viewing and listening to video and audio recordings will allow you to learn about the correct pronunciation of words on behalf of native speakers of a foreign language.
Those who study English will be able to watch popular TV series in the original 3-7 days earlier than the rest, since professional Russian-language voice acting (for example, from LostFilm) is released later than the original series by at least a week. Watching TV shows in foreign languages is available on Netflix, and videos in TikTok and YouTube.
How to motivate yourself for success to achieve your goal
To achieve a result, one clear goal is not enough.
You can motivate yourself to grow in various directions (work, creativity, personal life, health and body care, social status) using:
- building a "trefoil"... Take a piece of paper and draw 3 columns. Name them as follows: Purpose, Disguise, Solution. In the "Goal" column, indicate the desired result, for example, a flat stomach. In the "Disguise" column, write down what only temporarily hides the problem (slimming underwear, high-waist trousers, abdominal retraction when walking and a photo). In the third, indicate in detail how to solve the problem: go on a diet, play sports, increase physical activity at work. Avoid everything that is written in the second column: this only gets rid of the problem for a while, and try to follow everything that is indicated in the third - this is the way to achieve success;
- building a "decision tree"... The method is also based on maintaining a logical chain that helps to achieve the result, and takes into account several options for the development of events, allowing you to choose the simplest and most effective way. Draw an end goal, such as buying a new refrigerator. Further, as if on the "branches of a tree", consistently write what will allow you to achieve the result, taking into account the smallest details. For example, if you want to buy a refrigerator, you need money. To find them, you must either find additional earnings, a new job, ask for a raise, or try to save up. In the first and second cases, you need to start looking for options on specialized portals ("My Advertising", "Avito", HeadHunter), and in the third - come up and talk directly with your superiors. The fourth approach is based on avoiding unnecessary spending: on coffee in a restaurant or a new planter. Choose the path that is closest to your liking and follow it until you achieve the result;
- watching motivational videos or programs renowned business coacheseg Tony Robbins, attending seminars, reading motivational quotes, books, essays.From the literature capable of awakening consciousness, one should pay attention to "Halls of Mind" by A. Kurpatov, "Awaken the giant in yourself" by E. Robbins, "How to defeat fear" by O. Solomatina.
How to motivate yourself to work
Motivating pictures for success are often their main goal to promote the achievement of material wealth and power in society. This cannot be achieved without the ability to properly motivate oneself to work.
You can drop procrastination and tune yourself into a working mood using various techniques, one of which is the 5S system. This is an algorithm that allows you to organize your workspace, which is often used in large companies (for example, Sberbank).
The system includes 5 components:
- Getting rid of excess... If you work in office mode, i.e. Spend time at the computer desk often, remove all distracting details from it: souvenirs, sets of pens, unnecessary paper. The workplace should only have what is directly involved in the labor process, for example, a laptop, a computer mouse and a scanner with clean paper.
- Organizing the right things... Each item should have its own permanent place. Items should be located in such a way that they do not have to waste time accessing them, and they do not interfere with the use of other items or safety requirements. Example: the laptop should be placed on a flat, horizontal surface at a distance of 3-5 cm from the edge of the table.
- Establishing and maintaining order... Systematic cleaning should become a habit.
- Process standardization... The first 3 points should always be performed, complementing each other.
- Improving skills... Search for options to speed up work, purchase new equipment, improve equipment.
Compliance with the 5S system creates optimal conditions for motivation to work. With a well-organized workspace at hand, it's easy to set yourself up for any task.
How to motivate yourself to clean
It is not easy to find motivating pictures for success in cleaning, since reluctance to put things in order cannot be attributed to a habit that adversely affects the state of the body or wallet. But living in a cozy, well-kept house is pleasant for everyone, and therefore one should be able to tune in to high-quality and regular cleaning.
You can motivate yourself to bring cleanliness and order in the following ways:
- turn the process into entertainment... You can compete with other family members in who will quickly hang the washed clothes or wash the floors in the room, wipe the windows, mirrors, and arrange books. The option, among other things, is suitable for introducing children to cleaning: in the form of a game process, they will happily compete in the speed of collecting toys in the children's room;
- come up with a ritual to help distract, and use it every time you tidy up. Favorite music or TV show will allow you to "while away" the time while ironing shirts or bed linen, and talking with loved ones on the speakerphone will distract you from the dull dusting;
- reward yourself for cleaning... Chocolate for a clean floor or coffee from a nearby restaurant as a reward for washing will help you complete routine tasks faster;
- involve others in the process... Putting things in order together with someone is much more interesting and faster. If you can't motivate yourself to clean up alone, you can ask your loved ones for help, offering to treat them with tea with a cake or cookies in exchange;
- look at the "dream house"... When cleaning your own home, it's helpful to visualize your idea of the ideal property. Cleaning will allow you to partially approach your dream by getting rid of accumulated dust, dirt, debris, which can hardly be found in the "ideal home".
How to motivate yourself to quit smoking
Smoking is harmful to health: over time, tar, toxins and other substances released during the combustion of tobacco accumulate in the lungs. A year after giving up the habit, the work of the cardiovascular system is normalized, blood pressure is restored, and the condition of the lungs improves.
But it is not easy to quit smoking, since the nicotine in tobacco is addictive, as a result of which, when the smoker quits, nicotine withdrawal (“withdrawal”) begins.
There are several ways you can increase your motivation to quit smoking:
- a visit to a pulmonologist... Consult a specialist and have an X-ray done. Save the X-ray picture of the lungs and place a copy in your passport, on your computer desk or refrigerator. A motivating image with signs of tar, toxins and other harmful substances will allow you to quickly achieve success in the fight against nicotine addiction;
- conversations with heavy smokerswho have health problems due to addiction, and those who wish to give up nicotine addiction. The network has forums and websites dedicated to the problem of smoking, where participants share their problems and successes on the way to achieving the goal;
- cost analysis... With the money spent on the purchase of cigarettes per month, avid smokers can buy a shirt, a set of baked rolls weighing 1-2 kg, a toaster or a new disc with video games;
- help from loved ones... It is easier to cope with the habit when your friends and family are supportive. When there is a desire to "break off" and smoke another cigarette, loved ones will be able to warn against temptation and momentary weakness;
- online apps for smokers... The App Store, Google Play and other platforms (social networks, instant messengers) have utilities-games for smokers who want to quit a bad habit. The most popular applications are presented in the table.
Table - List of applications that motivate smoking cessation:
| app name | Download / View Platform | Features: |

Motivating quotes, success stories and quit smoking tips are included in every app. But not all smokers are able to quit nicotine addiction with the help of stimulating pictures or someone else's experience. In cases where it is not possible to overcome the habit, it is necessary to consult a specialist.
Narcologists, using the example of their patients who have successfully completed rehabilitation, will help to cope with the problem once and for all. But for many smokers, going to a specialist is more difficult than motivating to quit.In this case, you need to firmly decide for yourself what is more important: momentary weakness or the desire to live without tobacco smoke and nicotine addiction.
