Below are a few tips shared by Nitin Pujari, to stay motivated during tough times.
• According to Nitin Pujari, there are two types of motivation in life, extrinsic and intrinsic.

In difficult times, we should focus on the internal motivation to stay positive.
• Nitin Pujari Ji says, the pandemic has given us an opportunity to know what matters more in life. He further adds that ask yourself what is more important for you and try to find happiness in small things rather than materialism. He says that you need to face what is happening in your lives rather than running away from it.
Nitin Pujari also shares the connection of positivity with the mind. He believes that when humans do good deeds, the brain circuits that play an important role in their own well-being, that is, caring for others are a gift to themselves. To achieve this, he suggests making small goals and focusing on achieving them.
Nitin Pujari further adds, “In times of crisis, people start considering light work as meaningless. This ends the joy and makes life full of despair. Therefore, the need to set goals in daily life is important. Achieving these goals will bring happiness and energy. Then you will start moving from one goal to another, helping you to stay happy even in tough times.
