Mental Health Tips—Motivation 


“Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.” – Shiv Khera 

Fall Break is now over, and Winter Break is just around the corner, which is VERY exciting for everyone! However, we have a few weeks to go before we are officially there, and for most of us, that means that there is still quite a bit of work to do until we can kick our feet up and enjoy some relaxation. When there is only a little bit of time left, it can extremely difficult to stay focused and feel motivated. As such, here are some tips to help you end the semester strong!  

  • Create SMART Goals. Make sure your goal is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-based.  

  • Reward yourself when you meet your goals. Go for a walk, talk with a friend, or have a snack.  

  • Get started. Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. Try to do something small and work your way up.  

  • Encourage yourself. Try not to get down on yourself if you are struggling. Everyone is here to learn and that’s what you’re doing. You can do it!  

  • Meet up with others who can help keep you motivated. Find a study group with your friends to help stay accountable in doing your work.
