Now that I have finished exams, my attitude has changed immensely.
Rather than my attitude being a mindset of: do this, do that, finish this, finish that. My attitude has become much more of Let's do that, Let's finish this. It has become proactive, seeking out new ways to spend my new found freedom. Even before exams socialising can sometimes feel like a chore or a pressure, something to do on top of everything else you need to do. Now? Now that my attitude and focus has changed and adjusted socialising becomes something fun rather than an annoyance.
However, you could argue that this change could be just do to the weight of exams lifting, but i think attitude changes are down to the individual. You are the one who gains this Let's do this attitude.
So how. How have i hopefully made this attitudinal change permanent...
1. Decide what it most important in your life. Not what is important in the present but what will always be important.
2. What is your aim in life. Whats the end point, what is that thing that if you succeed then you feel accomplished.
3. Once you've decided on those two, an attitude shift will ensue. What is most important becomes a deciding factor on your life. If i do this will this help, hinder or danger that thing which i value the most. Your end game. That's the drive. Its like in Harry Potter and the Patronus charm, the happiest the memory the stronger the spell is. Therefore the bigger and better and more honest to yourself your dream is the better it is to drive and spur you on.
Attitude and motivation for me go hand in hand. Once my attitude and outlook on a situation changes. My motivation increases beyond all measure. So these steps can be switched around. If you have rubbish motivation, as I often suffer from see if your attitude is in the right place and then that directly improves your motivation.
Anyway, these are just the thoughts running through my head as I'm bursting with no more exams energy.
