4 Ways To Motivate Yourself To Be A Better Human

RE: BUZZFEED LIFESTYLE WRITER Want to convince yourself to do more than watch Netflix all day?

No matter what you want to do, motivate yourself to do it!

Workout more

Find a way to keep yourself accountable. Have a friend that'll text you four times a week and pick you up and take you to the gym? Awesome! If you think you'll respond better to monetary incentives, try an app like gym-pact. It will charge you $5 if you miss a workout and reward you with money from gym slackers when you go.

Wake up early

We've all heard the same things; don't look at any screens an hour before bed, put your phone across the room, go to bed early, and cut caffeine off at 3 p.m., etc. All good advice, but use an actual alarm clock! Set the loud ringer for when you want to wake up (put it across the room if you frequently fall back asleep). Old fashion alarm clocks are louder, and more aggressive than your phone alarm, which'll interrupt your R.E.M. sleep enough that you'll wake up.

Save money

Ah, money. Let's be real, managing money is hard. Set a day every week where you physically go into the bank and put 10% of your checking account into your savings account. Don't use online banking for your savings account. Physically having to go into a bank will make you think twice before you withdrawal/spend it.

Eat healthy

First, don't buy unhealthy snacks at the store. I know it seems impossible, but if you buy junk at the store, you won't be able to mindlessly snack on junk. Using cookbooks, the internet, whatever, find at least three healthy meals you're pumped to eat this week! Go to the store and get all of the ingredients you need at the beginning of the week so you have no excuses. Also, meal prep!
