Do you need some motivation today? Maybe a gentle nudge towards action? Or perhaps a swift¹ kick to get you moving?

今天，你是不是需要一些动力呢？或许是促进你行动的“轻巧一推”？或是让你马上行动起来的“猛然一击”？

When you can’t get yourself motivated, you need to breakthrough. Sometimes, you just need to pick yourself up and get things going. Stop moping and start making your own motivation.

当你鼓舞不了自己，那你就需要做些突破。有时你只需要鼓动一下自己，然后着手做事就可以。别闷闷不乐了，马上给自己找一些动力。

Here are 10 Ways to Make Some Motivation Today:

这里有10条让你在今天可以鼓舞自己的方法。

1. Win Early

成功要趁早

The early bird not only gets the worm, but has a spring in its step all day long. Get something done early, and you’ll get things done all day long.

早起的鸟儿不仅有虫吃，而且也为这一天开了个好头。早点动手完成，那么这一天的事也就差不多完成了。

2. Change the Game

改变规则

If you aren’t winning, you may need to change the game. Change the rules, even break them. Do things differently if you want different results.

如果你无法胜出，那你需要改变下游戏本身。改变规则，甚至是打破规则。如果你想要不寻常的结果，那你就要以不寻常的方式去做。

3. Celebrate the Small Wins

庆祝小成功

Big wins aren’t going to happen every day. Learn to celebrate the small progress. It’s these little victories that add up over the long-term.

大成就不会每天都有，学会庆祝那些小小的进步。正是这些小成功经年累月才能积累成为大成就。

4. Believe in Yourself

相信自己

Nothing generates² motivation like confidence. Believe in yourself. No one is going to be your bigger fan than you. You are stronger and better than you think. Believe it.

没有什么能比自信更能激励自己了。相信自己！没人比你更有资格做自己的铁杆粉丝。你比你自己认为的还要强大和杰出！你要相信这一点。

5. Prepare for Your Day

时刻准备

Being “ready” is motivating. When you are prepared for your day, you are excited to get it going. Take some time to prepare and you’ll be ready to charge into your day.

时刻准备着就是一种激励。当你已经为自己的胜利日做好了准备，你就会迫不及待开展行动。花些时间准备准备，你成功的一天将指日可待。

6. Do Something You Enjoy

做你喜欢的事

To kick up your motivation, do something you enjoy. Find a task that you enjoy doing and use that to get you started.

为了鼓舞自己，做些你喜欢的事吧。找一个你喜欢做的任务，从它开始吧。

7. Plan Your Dreams

规划你的梦想

When today has got you down, plan for tomorrow. It’s not about living in a daydream³, but putting steps in place to get you to your dreams.

今天你挫败了，那么规划好明天。这不是说活在白日梦里，而是要有条不紊地计划好步骤让自己实现梦想。

8. Do Something Physical

做些运动

If you want to pump up your motivation, then hit the gym. Or simply do something physical. Go for a jog or walk. Get your body moving, and it will stay that way. Exercise is a great motivator.

如果你想给自己一些动力，那么去健身房吧。或只是做些简单运动也可以，比如慢跑或是散步。让身体动一动，那身体就会保持这种状态。锻炼是一种很好的鼓舞方式。

9. Take Care of Loose Ends

好好收尾

Sometimes you are unmotivated because you are carrying around a mental load of undone⁴ tasks. Take care of the ones that are weighing on your brain so that you can move forward in your day.

有时候你毫无动力，因为你正承受着来自没有完成的工作的精神压力。处理那些增加大脑负荷的事情，这样你才能前进。

10. Connect With Someone Positive

10. 与积极的人交往

Positive attitudes are contagious⁵. Connect with other positive people. Multiple⁶ positive attitudes lead to exponential motivation as a group.

积极的态度是会传染的。和积极的人相处，积极的态度会让整个群体的动力指数迅速增长。

You don’t have to mope through your day. When life doesn’t provide inspiration⁷, create your own. Just a little action can inspire you to big things. So, make your own motivation today.

你不必一整天忧心忡忡的。当生活不给我们任何鼓励，那我们就自己创造。只一点小小的行动就能激励你着手大事。因此，今天给自己一些动力吧。
