Motivation 1- Set Your Goal

Have you ever asked yourself that why are you appearing in JEE?

Be clear what you want to do and then give your full effort to it. Keep that in mind if you want to get in the IIT then you can do that, and you need to work that way to get in IIT Institute.                          

Want to do something and actually doing something are two different things.

Set your goal, write down it on the paper and paste it in front of the study table. Whenever you feel low, just look at the paper and think why you started the preparation. It will fill you with the energy you have started with.

Remember what the late Muhammad Ali once said- "I hated every minute of training, but I said, don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.”  Study hard now and you can live your life the way you want further.

Chase your goal and Shut the mouth of all those who demotivate you and told you that it is hard.

Motivation 2- Reward Yourself

It is one of the best ways to encourage yourself for the study. Set your daily goal and once you achieve that goal, reward yourself.

The goal for the day can be a studying any topic or to solve some set of questions that need to be completed on time. In reward, you can go for a walk, have your favorite dish, listen to your favorite songs, can watch motivational videos etc.

This little reward will rejuvenate your mood and will encourage you for the study and achieve your daily goals.

Motivation 3- Surround Yourself with Positive People

There is a big role of your surroundings that can motivate or demotivate you in your preparation. As humans, we have a natural tendency to become like the people you hang around the most. Surround yourself with people that will continuously motivate you to work hard and achieve your goals.

"Surround yourself with people who push you, who challenge you, who make you laugh, who make you better, who make you happy." - Anonymous

The presence of positive people, Success stories of achievers & feeling their pride will make you think like them. Their hard work and commitment will inspire you to do the same hard work and to play your part their way.


Motivation 4- Review Your Progress Regularly

It is important to monitor your goals and track your progress that how far you have reached in your journey. If you don’t review your goals regularly, you can lose the right track.

There's nothing more motivating than comparing where you started to where you are now, and it will fuel your drive to move even further with your preparation. Take some time to track your progress and achieve small goals first.

While preparing for IIT JEE, get to know how much syllabus you have completed and how much you need to do more. It will inspire you to complete the remaining syllabus.

Motivation 5- Get Yourself Self-Motivated

Nobody can motivate you the way you can motivate yourself. If you have a vision, nobody will see it better than you do. Listen to your heart.

Just think about fun and life after getting into IIT, opportunities to go abroad for higher studies or job, quality education in IIT, respect in the society, the proud and pleasure of your parents. It will incite the motivational inspiration in you to study for IIT JEE.                        

Your thoughts about the goals you want to achieve are the best source of motivation. Visualize the way you attain your goals and imagine your minute of triumph.

This simple exercise will allow you to keep up the momentum and help you pursue your aspirations while staying full of energy and enthusiasm.

Things you can do for Self-Motivation are:

  • Start your day with meditation and exercise to get energized the whole day. It will help you to concentrate on your study.
