“Enthusiasm is the electricity of life. How do you get it? You act enthusiastic until you make it a habit.”
– Gordon Parks –
How to be more enthusiastic?
Do you feel enthusiastic, motivated and energetic when starting something new, but after some time, you lose your enthusiasm and interest?
This can happen when begin practicing a self-improvement program, learn meditation, study a new topic, follow a diet, exercise, or do anything else.
Though you acknowledge the importance of what you are doing and know that it most important, still, you let laziness set in, as well as lack of motivation, lack of enthusiasm, and lack of enough self discipline.
This is quite common. After the first spurt of enthusiasm you feel that it is too much for you, too much work and too much effort, and you prefer to quit. You might even feel that what you are doing is a burden.
I have been writing a lot about improving focus and self discipline, and about meditation and self improvement, and I know that often, people start enthusiastically, but over time, their enthusiasm decreases and they need way to boost it again.
This often happens when one does not obtain immediate results. It is the same with losing weight, learning a new skill, building a business, and with any other project. People expect immediate spectacular results, and if they don’t get them they quit and give up.
