I haven’t really been motivated to do much, I always struggle when it comes to things I need to commit myself to (like grades and such). I was wondering if any of you bros have some advice on how to get motivated? Thanks in advance bros.

Motivation is not something you should try to get because you can’t controll it. It just happens randomly. If you feel like you need to do something, don’t even think about it, just do it. The more you think, the bigger your problems seem to be. Also,if you want long term results, insert what you want to get better at in your everyday routine. Its hard at the beginning, but after a week or two, it will be easier to do than not to do it. Basically since you do it everyday, you get used to it, and it doesn’t seem like a chore that much anymore. For example, if you want to get fit, start by doing lets say 35 push ups per day for a week. Don’t set your goals to high. Start easy and upgrade every week. The week after, you do 55 push ups everyday. Next thing you know, your arms start to get big. Same thing with studying. Start by studying a little bit everyday, and add time every week. Important thing is to take small steps so you’re not to hard on yourself and you don’t get exausted. Also, if its hard because you get distracted and only want to play videogames or do something else than study, you should really find out about dopamine detoxing. For me, it helps a lot. Basically, don’t rely on motivation to get shit done. Just do it, right now, even if it sucks. Hope this helps.

Motivation is a tough thing to just have appear but it can be worked on. More importantly than motivation is drive/work ethic as having a strong foundation will make the motivation come and be accepted way easier. I'd highly recommend just busting through the harder, less fun aspects of life like school work and working out. Once you get that drive to finish the shitty things, the motivation to do bigger and better will be knocking on your door. Start small with some simple chore lists like doing an assignment then taking a little rest. You got this bro but just remember, motivation comes from drive. Stoked that you're actively recognizing things you wanna change and making an effort to do so :)
