Learn how to motivate others: 5 simple ways

 

When your friend is feeling down, it might be very difficult for you to motivate them. But right now, they need you to be there for them. So here are a few tips on how to motivate someone who needs the motivation.

 

1. Be motivated yourself

You are never going to be able to motivate others if you are not motivated yourself. So get motivated yourself before you try and motivate others.

 

2. Be kind

What your friend needs right now is someone to acknowledge their contribution and self worth. You need to learn to be kind to your friends or family. Hand out praises when warranted. Whenever someone told you that you did a good job, didn’t that give you a surge of pride and the motivation to do better? Well, this is the same case. When people are treated right and their contribution are acknowledged, it’s such a motivation booster.

 

3. Be a good listener

Before you start advising your friend on how to get motivated, listen to their problems first. What is it that they are actually worried about? Let them get it all of their chest. Once they are done, help them to break down their problems and focus on problem solving together to find ways that your friend can solve their problem.

 

4. Don’t judge them

If you already motivated them, and they fail, remember not to judge them. Instead encourage them to try again. Persuade them. Tell them that their failure is just a minor setback and they should treat failure as a feedback for greater successes. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

 

5. Keep in touch

Lastly remember to always keep in touch with them. Check on them to see how they are progressing. That way, whenever your friend is feeling down and out of it, you will be right there to pick them right back up again.

 

So here are a few simple ways to motivate your friends, it may be simple, but it is incredibly effective.
