5 ways to stay motivated pursuing your dreams in 2023

A new year is a great time to start pursuing your dreams, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t daunting. Luckily there’s loads you can do to keep yourself motivated, and we’ve made a list of just a few ideas here.

  • Have role models

Even though of course you want to make your dress your own and set your own course, having role models who inspire you is always a great idea. For example a female filmmaker just starting out might look up to Anna Elizabeth James the same way that a tennis player might look up to Serena Williams, or an entrepreneur to Richard Branson. Reading about and following your role models’ own inspirations, their successes and failures, can be an amazing tool for putting your own ambitions and pitfalls into perspective and encouraging you to carry on.

  • Stay informed

It’s hard to dominate any area if you don’t understand it inside out. Though you can get by on flukes and lucky guesses to some extent, to really build a solid foundation and achieve your dream, it pays dividends to ensure you have a solid understanding of the area you’re going into – for example, if it’s your dream to run a health centre then it would be a good idea for you to learn more about the wellness sector. Similarly if you would love to run a bookshop, you should be well informed on what’s going on in bookselling and publishing.

  • Keep up appearances

Though it may seem silly, looking after yourself can in itself make sure you stay motivated. It’s the same principle that forcing yourself to smile is a good way to genuinely improve your mood – if only slightly. If you make yourself look like you’re ready to conquer the world then chances are you will feel a little more like you can as well, so google barbershops near me and start tracking down that fresh hairdo that will make you feel like the world’s greatest (insert you chosen dream here!).

  • Keep motivational content accessible

Everybody has days where they just can’t summon the motivation to do anything, even though they know it’s important to them and their business – and these are the days where you need quick access to the content you find most motivational. If there’s a passage from a book you find inspiring, have the page marked and the book near you; if you’ve assembled a pinterest board that instantly reminds you what you’re striving for and keeps you motivated, make sure you have it pinned to your browser. What motivates everyone is different, but it’s important to always have it within easy reach!

  • Track your progress

Even though at any given moment, it’s easy to feel like you’re going nowhere fast and aren’t achieving anything, a great trick is to look at where you are now compared to a year ago. Chances are you will be able to list several milestones – some big, some small – all of which mark a little more progress towards your goal and dream at a time. Any bad day is enough to get you down, but you just have to take a step back and logicall examine the actual progress you’ve made and amazing things you’ve achieved!

It’s never too late to pursue your dreams, and you have to make sure you stick to that commitment – so it’s important to use every motivational tool at your disposal, including the ones on this list!
