What we covered

When you face a difficult challenge or feel like you’re stuck in a rut, it can be hard to stay motivated. But there is an important tool that can help you stay motivated and make progress: perspective shifts. A perspective shift is when you take a step back and look at your situation from a different point of view. It can help you gain clarity and insight, and it can also be a powerful tool to help you stay motivated.

Understand Your Motivation

The first step to staying motivated is understanding your motivation. What are your goals? What are you trying to achieve? It’s important to have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish so that you can focus your efforts and stay motivated.

Once you’ve identified your goals, it’s important to ask yourself why you want to achieve them. What is the purpose behind your goal? Are you trying to make a difference in the world? Are you seeking personal growth and development? Understanding the “why” behind your goals can help you stay motivated and focused on what matters most.

Identify Your Negative Thoughts

It’s natural to have negative thoughts and feelings, but they can be a major obstacle to staying motivated. Identifying and understanding your negative thoughts can help you recognize when you’re stuck in a rut and need to make a change.

When you’re feeling negative, take a step back and try to identify the source of your negative thoughts. Do you feel like you’re not making progress? Are you concerned about failing? Are you comparing yourself to others? Once you’ve identified the source of your negative thoughts, you can start to work on changing your perspective and staying motivated.

Reframe Your Thoughts

Once you’ve identified the source of your negative thoughts, you can start to reframe them. Reframing is the process of looking at a problem from a different perspective. For example, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by a project, try to reframe it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

You can also reframe your goals. Instead of focusing on the end result, focus on the journey and the progress you’re making. This can help you stay motivated and enjoy the process of reaching your goals.

Find Inspiration

Finding sources of inspiration can help you stay motivated and focused on your goals. Spend some time each day reading inspiring stories or quotes, or talking to people who have achieved success. This can give you the motivation and energy you need to keep moving forward.

You can also look for sources of inspiration in everyday life. Look for small moments of joy and gratitude, and take the time to appreciate them. This can help you stay motivated even when things are tough.

Take Action

When you’re feeling unmotivated, it can be tempting to just give up. But the best way to stay motivated is to take action. Break down your goals into small, manageable steps and start working on them. Even if it’s just a few minutes a day, taking action can help you stay motivated and make progress.

Stay Positive

Finally, it’s important to stay positive. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small, and be patient with yourself. Remind yourself of why you’re pursuing your goals and focus on the progress you’re making. This can help you stay motivated and keep moving forward.


Perspective shifts can be a powerful tool to help us stay motivated, even in the face of uncertainty, fear of failure, self-doubt, and negative self-talk. Understanding your motivation, identifying your negative thoughts, reframing them, finding sources of inspiration, taking action, and staying positive are all important steps to help you stay motivated and make progress. Join us in the Forest and discover how you can use perspective shifts to stay motivated and make progress.
