Things You Can do to Motivate Others!
Hiya Everyone,
Feeling motivated to do things is a key part in life; let's see how we can help others around us feel that way too! ^-^
1): Listen.
Simply hearing out the person and trying to understand their goals and aspirations is the first step! People do not want to be bombarded with motivational quotes because sometimes, they just want a listening ear and an opinion on what they are thinking.
2): Ask open-ended questions!
To get a clear picture of what they're thinking of doing, you need to ask questions! Not single word answer questions but questions which really get somebody thinking.
Here are a few examples:-
Why do you want to do that?
What makes you so excited about it?
How long has that been your dream?
3): Encourage!
Making the first step towards a goal is pretty scary! You need to be there to support them and make sure they aren't thinking about their goal in an all-or-nothing way. (I won't be able to do it.) Instead, tell them that if they don't try, they will never know!
4): First Baby Steps.
Give suggestions on how they will be able to achieve their goal, do not limit it to one single way of getting there! Keep all routes open.
5): Ask whether you can do anything to help.
Most of the time, people like to achieve their goals on their own and just need a few positive words along the way! However, others like to have a check-in to see how they're doing and make sure they're on the right tracks.
6): Dream.
Think with them about how amazing and proud they will feel after they've succeeded! How their life may be changed, or the impact on others surrounding them.
I hope some of these tips help you motivate others in the future,
Thank you for reading!

@blossombreathe, thanks for creating this thread! I especially like the part about open-ended questions - we often forget to listen, instead of simply talking ^^;
Best wishes!
@blossombreathe, as fantastic as always. I always love the beautiful posts that you come up with. It's amazing.
Well you can send them a daily inspiring quote and be on their side when they are going through a tough times.. And yeah listening helps a lot.. I am glad the basic value of 7cups is to listen.
And yeah.. One more thing you can do to help others is to be positive and radiate happiness.
The things that I like to do are:
Listen, Ask open-ended questions to them, Encourage them, Ask them whether I can do anything to help them, Dream with them/Brainstorm, Positive quotes, Empower them.
@blossombreathe thank you! it's very true, and inspiring. I also want to say thank you to all the people who keep reminding us that gray thinking helps, that we have the right to not take sides, that integrity is possible, and that facts count. it's tremendously helpful, and I feel people need that a lot, in our present world.
