So today, I'm going to talk about motivation.

This is a useful topic because we all need motivation to do things in our lives.

First, let's talk about motivation in general.

If we have motivation, this means that we have a desire to do something.

If we lack this, then it's much harder to actually accomplish things.

Most of us feel motivated at times,

but unmotivated at other times.

This is perfectly normal.

There are certain days when you don't feel like doing much.

You might be tired, in a bad mood, or just uninterested.

I sometimes feel this way when I have to do certain things.

For example, I might not be super motivated to work or to do my language learning for the day.

I think we all have times when we're more and less motivated to do things.

So let's talk about some ways we can get motivated.

I think the most important thing we need to do to find our motivation is to set long-term goals.

These goals are things that you really want to accomplish.

They can be personal goals or professional goals.

Once you have these goals in mind,

you can create a plan to reach these goals.

Some people make very detailed plans,

and some people are a little more flexible with their plans.

In my opinion, it's good to set short-term goals that will help you reach your long-term goals.

And more importantly, all of these goals should be time-specific.

For example, I could make my long-term goal to become fluent in French in two years.

And then maybe I could make a short-term goal for six months,

one year, and a year and a half from now that will help me reach that two-year goal.

If you set specific deadlines for your goals,

this can help motivate you because you can see the finish line.

Another thing that can help motivate you is to imagine yourself in the future after you've already completed your goal.

For example, if you have the goal to speak English fluently,

imagine yourself in the future speaking English fluently.

Imagine what that will feel like,

and imagine the satisfaction it will give you.

I find that this motivates me a lot.

Sometimes, when I'm doing something,

I think, why am I doing this?

What's the point?

But, if I imagine how it will feel when I accomplish my goal in the future,

this helps me continue.

Another way you can increase your motivation is by finding the right place and time to do your task.

Personally, I feel more motivated to work in certain spaces in my apartment,

and I feel less motivated in other spaces.

It's pretty interesting actually.

Also, I feel really motivated to work or study when I go to cafes.

When I'm surrounded by other people who are working or reading,

it motivates me to do this too.

Also, it's important to identify the time of day when you feel most motivated.

You should use this time period to accomplish as much as possible.

Thus, it's important to plan your day so that you can take advantage of this time.

In general, I know the hours when I'm motivated to work and when I'm usually tired,

so I plan my day with this in mind.

One last thing that can also motivate you is finding a role model.

A role model is someone who you look to for inspiration.

Specifically, it's good to find a role model who has already accomplished what you're trying to accomplish.

For example, if you want to move up in your career,

you can find a role model who has already reached a high level in your industry.

You can learn from their success and you can follow in their footsteps, as we say.

Having a role model can motivate you to work hard and not give up.

Alright now I'm going to ask you some questions about today's video to see how well you understood.

Number one, what types of goals should we set?

Number two, what's one place where I feel motivated to work or study?

And number three, what's a role model?

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
