To initially build one's motivation, the best practices include: setting clear, achievable goals; being [[action orientation|action oriented]] and develop good [[habit]]s and routines in order to gain both extrinsic/extrinsic rewards and to active the reward center of the brain (See: [[Dopamine]]); breaking down large tasks into smaller steps; tracking one's progress, celebrating small wins; rewarding yourself for progress; identify what truly motivates you or could truly motivate you such as identifying/developing [[Passion (psychology)|passions]] and personal interests; creating [[Positive thinking|positive]] working/other environments, and regularly review your goals and progress and having an [[accountability partner]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gzVhnT3pB4 How to Get Motivated and Stay Motivated]</ref><ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+develop+motivation&oq=how+to+develop+motivation&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIICAMQABgWGB4yCAgEEAAYFhgeMggIBRAAGBYYHjIICAYQABgWGB4yCAgHEAAYFhgeMggICBAAGBYYHjIGCAkQLhhA0gEJMTY1NTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 How to develop motivation]</ref> In summary, focusing on making progress towards goals with a [[Positive thinking|positive]] [[mindset]] and by acknowledging your achievements along the way towards [[achievement|achieving]] goals.
In addition, other ways to increase one's motivation include: increasing performance via [[peak performance]] principles and [[creativity]]/[[creative problem solving]] which may enable one to create better rewards in terms of intrinsic/extrinsic rewards, continuatally upping one's goals and stretching oneself to get out out one's [[comfort zone]] to avoid needless plateaus in performance, developing new goals and [[social intelligence|surrounding yourself with positive people]]."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=How+you+increase+your+self-motivation&oq=How+you+increase+your+self-motivation&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEIOTc0MmowajGoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 How do you increase your self-motivation?]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gzVhnT3pB4&list=PLbjmSS6LZDGov6Am3NJWXky7e6MMcA0n0 How to Get Motivated and Stay Motivated], video</ref>
A sense of [[purpose]], external positive reinforcement, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment can also increase motivation.
=== Goals and motivation ===
''See also:'' [[Goal setting]]
"[[Goal setting|Setting specific, challenging goals]] can increase motivation and enhance performance by 11 to 25 percent, according to University of Toronto psychologist Gary Latham and University of Maryland psychologist Edwin Locke. Research suggests that having clearly defined goals can also make employees feel more inspired at work and more likely to stay committed to their organization according to Bi Worldwide. Furthermore, setting challenging but attainable goals can lead to significant improvements in performance, with some studies showing increases of up to 90%."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=what+percentage+do+goals+increase+motivation&sca_esv=36222d67fa35b916&sxsrf=AE3TifNJt1yq6l7sEppUp1tlSXxCfEYueQ%3A1754268124598&ei=3AGQaMqmJNXaptQPvJLm0Qk&ved=0ahUKEwjKhKGD9u-OAxVVrYkEHTyJOZoQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=what+percentage+do+goals+increase+motivation&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiLHdoYXQgcGVyY2VudGFnZSBkbyBnb2FscyBpbmNyZWFzZSBtb3RpdmF0aW9uMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGJ8FMgUQIRifBUi8YFAAWJRdcAF4AZABAJgBsgGgAakuqgEEMC40NbgBA8gBAPgBAZgCLqAC2S_CAgQQIxgnwgIKECMYgAQYJxiKBcICCxAAGIAEGJECGIoFwgIKEAAYgAQYQxiKBcICEBAAGIAEGLEDGEMYgwEYigXCAhEQLhiABBixAxjRAxiDARjHAcICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIOEC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYxwHCAg4QABiABBixAxiDARiKBcICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIFEC4YgATCAg0QABiABBhDGMkDGIoFwgILEAAYgAQYkgMYigXCAgUQABiABMICChAAGIAEGBQYhwLCAgsQABiABBixAxiKBcICBBAAGAPCAgsQABiABBiGAxiKBcICBhAAGBYYHsICBRAAGO8FwgIIEAAYgAQYogTCAgUQIRirApgDAJIHBDEuNDWgB6X0ArIHBDAuNDW4B9QvwgcHMS4xMS4zNMgHmgE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp What percentage do goals increase motivation?]</ref>
