• They are quite focussed to working hard to achieve their dreams.
• They know what is important for them.
• They are totally dedicated to fulfill their dreams.
The four steps of building self-motivation are:
• Find Your Strengths: Understanding who you are, and finding your strengths will help you build confidence. Find
your likes and dislikes. Find out what makes you happy. For example:
w You love doing painting in your free time.
w You enjoy taking part in extempore.
w You love to go out with your friends.
• Set and Focus on Your Goals: Consider what you want to achieve, set that as your goal, be focused with all your
energy and hard work, to achieve your goal. For example, my goal is to become a doctor.
• Develop a Plan to Achieve Your Goals: With a plan you have a clear picture of how to get where you want to go, what
it will take to get there, and how you’ll find the motivation to keep driving forward. So, planning a list of activities
and setting timelines to achieve your goals is very important. For example, to become a doctor, I have to study hard
and get good grades. Also, after school, attend coaching to clear my competitive exams to get into medical college.
• Stay Loyal to Your Goals: Hard work and constant dedication will help you stay loyal to your goals. Work towards
achieving your goal, even when you are facing difficult time.
Achieving something never comes easy and requires a lot of struggle to make it to the milestone. For example, if
I don't clear my entrance, I will try again next year with full dedication and hard work because I have to fulfil my
dream of becoming a doctor.
SELF-REGULATION
Self-regulation is the ability to keep your emotions and your behaviour in check and think reasonably before putting
them into action. It leads to responsible and value-driven behaviour by keeping in mind the long-term consequences of
your uncontrolled behaviour. It has been proven through research that self-regulation in children works as an important
predictor of their academic abilities.
Self-regulation helps you:
• Manage your energy levels.
• Understand your emotions and behaviour.
• Balance your thoughts and emotions.
• Understand your long term goals.
• React in a positive way in difficult circumstances.
• To be happier by controlling your emotions.
SMART GOALS
SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives. They provide clear direction,
and milestones to track progress. For example, “I will read one new book each month for the next six months to
improve my vocabulary and comprehension skills.” Let us learn more about goal and goal settings.
What is a Goal and Goal Settings?
Goals are the desire to achieve your targets within a given deadline. It is fulfilling your dreams within a finite time. For
example: Walking everyday to school to save money to pay for the picnic planned next month.
