Even if you absolutely love your business, it can be difficult to find daily inspiration and motivation. However, when you can wake up each day excited and ready to go, your business and your personal life will thrive. There are tremendous benefits to finding inspiration and motivation every day. Here’s how to get it done:

#1 Gratitude - Gratitude accomplishes amazing things. One way to wake up motivated and inspired is to create a habit of gratitude. Journal the things you’re grateful for at the end of every day. Or wake up and before you get out of bed, journal what you’re grateful for today. Create a habit of gratitude and you’ll establish a positive and energetic mindset. There really is so much to be grateful for.

#2 Set small goals - Long-term goals are great. However, when a goal is far off in the future, it’s tough to find motivation to achieve them. However, smaller goals can be inspiring. You can set smaller daily or weekly goals to spur inspiration and motivation. Remember to set goals that get you excited. If you’re not a money-motivated person, for example, then a monetary goal isn’t going to motivate you.

#3 Do what you love first
- It’s easy to get into a ritual rut. You wake in the morning, have your coffee, check your email and start working. The thing you love to do most is often down on your priority list. This makes starting your day less than exhilarating. However, if you rearrange your daily routine and do what you love first, then getting out of bed is easy and exciting.

#4 Affirmations - Mindset is powerful. An affirmation is a positive statement that helps you create inspiration and motivation. Affirmations help reaffirm and inspire a positive mindset. Determine what’s preventing you from feeling motivated and inspired each day and create an affirmation that supports change.

#5 Reward yourself - Some days are just tough to get through. Instead of trying to avoid them or forcing yourself to push through them, reward yourself. Rewards help you stay focused on the end result and the silver lining. Additionally, a reward doesn’t have to be huge. Sometimes a simple reward like your favorite coffee drink at the local coffee shop can be enough to help you stay positive and inspired all day long.

#6 Surround yourself - One great way to stay inspired and motivated is to surround yourself with inspiration. Listen to inspiring music. Create a home office that you enjoy spending time in. Surround yourself with the things you love. It’ll make each and every day so much more enjoyable.

#7 Take time off - When most people think about taking time off, they look at annual vacations. However, it’s important to take more time off than just a week or two a year. Consider taking time off each week or month. Even a few hours or a day or two can really make a difference. It gives you time to recharge and find that original source of inspiration and motivation.

Building and growing a business is difficult. Finding inspiration and motivation can make the difference between a struggling business and discontent to a thriving business and joy. Use these seven tips to help find inspiration and motivation each and every day.
