Sometimes, you may feel unmotivated because you lack a sense of direction, feel discouraged or un-passionate . At times like these, you may want to consult these tips. 

1. The first step is to figure out what is it that you want or truly want. Where does your mind wander off to when you’re doing something. For example, when you’re at school, what are you thinking instead of studying? When you’re working, are you satisfied? If not, what is it that you picture yourself doing instead? If you had a old passion, what was it and why are you not continuing it? 

2. After you figure out what you want, set goals. Ask yourself what you want to do with your passion and what point of it do you want to reach. For example, if it’s an academic goal, you may set goals to do well on your undergraduate studies so you can become a psychologist. If it’s a sport, you may set goals to play better. Once you know what you want, you have to know how far you want to go. 

3. Set a plan. Once you know what you want and where you want to go, you need to set up plans to get there. For example, if you want to become a psychologist, you know that to become a psychologist, you need a PhD in psychology and you know the steps needed. You need to do well in your undergraduate studies and you need to have a lot of related experiences. So figure out the obstacles and take the steps to get there, but also break the steps down into smaller parts.
