I believe motivation and consistency is the key to achieving success. But sometimes, external motivators such as rewards or recognition may not be enough to push you to accomplish your goals. That is the reason for you to learn how to motivate yourself internally. Below are some suggestions on how to motivate yourself internally.

1. Set achievable goals: The first step in motivating yourself is to set achievable goals. When setting goals, ensure they are specific and have enough time and skills to achieve them. Allot time to gain more skills on the set goals. This way, you will have a clear picture of what you want to achieve and when you want to achieve it.
   
2. Believe in yourself: Make a list of all your strength and past achievements. Keep reminding yourself that you are capable of achieving your goals. Always surround yourself with positive people who will remind you of your skills and uplift you when in need.
   
3. Focus on progress: Focus on the progress towards your goal, not the result. The smallest of victories, even an appreciation, is an indication that you are going in the right direction.
   
4. Visualize success: Visualize yourself achieving your goals. Imagine how it will feel when you accomplish what you set out to do. It will motivate you to work towards your goals.
   
5. Consistency: Finally, stay committed to your goals. Don’t give up when you face challenges or setbacks. Every single challenge leaves you with new skills.
