I wan to become a doctor so I know I need to study hard but sometimes my motivation dies off a little bit :( Anybody that have unique ways of keeping themselves motivated?? (Please let me Know!! )

I am the type of person who gets motivated really easily but that also dies out pretty quickly. I don't know if that is because I have't found something that I am really passionate about or it's because I might be as passionate about becoming a doctor as I thought I was. So if there is anyone that have unique ways of keeping themselves motivated please share them with me. Thanks, :) #student #motivation #motivational-speaking

Thank you comment icon Personally, I like to make sure that I have music going on while I'm studying (as background noise, so that means piano covers and instrumentals with no vocals). For sustained study habits, try making a specific time slot every day for you to sit down in the same place and study. Your body will get used to devoting this time slot just to studying. I also recommend keeping your workspace really clean, and using really nice pens and highlighters and things like that- it helps you study when your environment and your tools are really nice! Anina

Jacques’s Answer

You are struggling with motivation because you are relying on a temporary emotional wave rather than deep, conscious commitment. Motivation is merely a passing mood; it rises when an idea excites you and dies out when the immediate novelty fades or the work becomes demanding. If you drive your life through the fickle highs and lows of motivation, you will always be a victim of your own shifting feelings. Becoming a doctor or achieving anything of genuine value requires that you move beyond this child-like cycle of inspiration and boredom. Do not wait to feel passionate before you sit down to study. Instead, bring absolute responsibility and total involvement to the book sitting in front of you today, regardless of how your mind feels in the moment. When you replace fragile motivation with unshakeable discipline and focus on building steady internal capability, you will no longer need external boosts to keep moving forward.

Hey Mary,


Wow, a doctor. Good for you. I'm scared of blood, so I basically knew I wouldn't make a good doctor. :D As for your question, I think we all go through that moment when you are excited about something and depending on the situation or experience, we lose a bit of it along the way. If you really want to see if you want to be a doctor, I would say maybe try volunteering at a hospital. This way you can see the day-to-day operations within a hospital. I'm not completely sure, but I think some hospitals have intern programs. You might want to look into that.


Another thing is, what motivates you to want to be a doctor? Do you want to save lives? Do you want to research new ways to fight cancer?
Watch this video about why this person became a doctor: https://youtu.be/89aowrlN--k (Can't guarantee you won't bust a tear). Hope this helped. Good luck!


Dream big always, Vivian

Rachel’s Answer

Becoming a doctor is absolutely an obtainable goal. You should start college planning to study every day. Attend your classes. Do the homework. When you find a class difficult, attend office hours early in the semester. If you continue to struggle, get a tutor.

Yes you need motivation, but you also just need a schedule and the discipline to stick to it.

Shadowing and volunteering in the medical field may also keep you motivated to work hard to become a physician. Stay connected to premed societies in college, and surround yourself with motivated friends.
Good luck!
