Some days feel harder than others. Some days when you wake up in the morning you cannot be bothered to do anything at all. You just want to sit in your night clothes in front of the television with a tube of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. That’s news that you are lacking inspiration.
You see, we need inspiration to get started to do anything. There is also a lot of confusion between motivation and inspiration. Some people even use them interchangeably.

What makes you feel bored?
Have you ever wondered about the thing which makes you less interested in a job which can give you a lot of money in the long run? The best way to find this thing is to think on your own; find the thing which is grabbing all your positive energy and making you feel like there is nothing in this line of career. However, if you are unable to sort the things out then let me tell you some of the very basic, common and harmful things which make you think awkwardly.
If you are really feeling bored with your work then change what you are doing. Studies show that if you change what you do often, then you will not get bored. So if you get bored by working on your business and start wandering somewhere else, then change what you are working on and you will become inspired again.
The most common problem is the feeling of doing same work each and every day. It is in the nature of human that he gets bored of a thing if he gets it regularly and that too with a frequent repetition. The other thing is to be hopeless about earning a good amount because of slow outcome. Following are some remedies to overcome the issues and make your work interesting.
Be Optimistic
The best thing is to think positively regarding all your hard work and hope for the best to come in your way. Making money online is not an easy job to start but it can give you fruits if you will keep your work with concentration; never think of your job as boring or profitless. One can never earn good money by thinking negatively or not taking interest. Have a faith and keep doing your work.
If you start to think negatively or pessimistically then it may start showing in your work. Your work may not be up to your usual standard. If you improve the way you think and start to think more positively about everything, then it will start to work and you’ll start to increase your productivity as well. Superman is always optimistic.
Start Setting Goals
One of the most important things that separates successful people and unsuccessful people are goals. People that set goals are more successful. Its a fact.
Arnold Schwarzenegger used to set goals every year. Before he was famous he wrote down as his goals that he would become a bodybuilding champion, a multi-millionaire film-star and a businessman. As we all know, he achieved all his goals.
Goals setting is a very powerful technique that can help you achieve what you want. Having goals can motivate you to achieve more and also help clear your mind and make you focus better.
When you are writing your goals make sure you write it according to the SMART principle. SMART meaning Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely. Set your goals with a guaranteed deadline in mind. So for example, a goal of yours could be; I will launch my specific product by December 20th 2014.
Once you have wrote your goals down on a piece of paper, don’t just part them away in a drawer where no one will ever see them. Review your goals list regularly to make sure you are on track to achieving your goals.
If you find it hard to achieve your goals then break it into small manageable steps. Once you do this you will be shocked at how much you can achieve. You know what they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Visualisation
Visualisation is very important to becoming inspired everyday. Imagine in your head you have already achieved your goal. Imagine you are doing what you would be doing if you achieved your goal. So if your goal is to earn $1,000,000, imagine what you would have if you had that money. Visualisation is a very powerful technique.
Once you start visualising you will start to see things change for you. It is almost as if is like magic. You will start to feel tremendous power and energy to go for what you want.
There has been a lot of research done about visualisation. Athletes use this technique to improve on their performance and win championships. Entertainers and Performer also use this powerful technique to perform optimally.

Developing a Morning Ritual
Having a morning routine or ritual in place can be very energising for you. Your normal routine probably is you having a shower, drinking a coffee or reading the newspaper. But having a more productive morning ritual can be way more empowering for you A morning routine or ritual can be anything up to an hour.
Your new morning ritual could involve you doing exercise. Exercise is one of the best ways to start your day plus exercising does a ton of good for you. Eating a healthy breakfast could also be part of your morning ritual. As can reading a book or even writing a to-do list of what you have to do during the day.
Water is an essential part and should be part of every ones morning ritual. Think about it. You are asleep for about 6-8 hours at night. During that time you are not getting any water. Your body is dehydrated. So it is just logical to refuel your body with water when you wake up. Obviously another thing to put in your ritual should be showering, brushing your teeth etc. But I hope you are already doing that.
How to feel inspired everyday
Keep changing the genre or work
This is the best thing to do if you are suffering from lack of interest in your job. If you are trying to earn money from your blog then keep changing the blog you are working on. Suppose if you have two blogs and one in about IT and other is about funny pictures then try to work on both simultaneously by giving each hour to both blogs. What it will do is that your interest will be intact throughout the time as your mind will not be captured by thinking for the same thing over and over again.
Same is the case with online writers. The key is to keep writing for different things at the same time. Do not pick an assignment and keep working on it continuously, rather pick two or three jobs and write simultaneously on each job for an hour. This practice will let you think for many things at the same time, and it will give you an opportunity to do some research for different things. By doing these things you can make your job interesting and it will make your work quality even better as you will be working with great interest and attention by all your mind and heart.
Remember – money is right there
Always remember that you handwork will be paid in a good way and you will get a good amount for it. If you are working really hard then you will get paid; no matter if you are running a blog, writing for clients, or doing any other freelancing job for the clients on different sites. This motivation will keep you work even more harder as everyone wants to get paid for his job in the end.
The above said things can make you feel inspired to earn online. It has its own benefits which cannot be compared with any other office job as there is no boss on your head for supervision and you are working in a field which you like to do.
If you follow these steps and implement these ideas into your life you will be feeling like Superman everyday. Nothing will be able to stop you then. You will feel empowered everyday. Obviously you will have to do stuff that you are not comfortable doing or don’t want to do, but if you do it for a couple of times, you will get used to it.
We would love to hear from you. What do you do everyday to feel inspired? What is part of your morning ritual?
