Things like depression can really mess up your motivation and I know that from experience. Just know that your value is not on the things you do/achieve, and things can get better! Even if you're not depressed it can be easy to fall into the "no motivation" hole, and the only way to get things done is to be really disciplined

[kaoriwee]

the real motivation is the friends we made along the way

Listening to music, to me, does not get me motivated, but it does help me focus/in the zone

[BigLord]

This actually helped me a lot to get perspective on things. Sometimes you gotta think "I will do this thing" and then *force* yourself to do this thing, even if you don't want to at the moment. Because you'll be glad you did the thing, after.

Also, thinking about how your project will look at the end and then seeing it happen is also incredibly motivating and satisfying!

[NotzMayy]

This is not only for art but for other things like studies and stuff ^^

[ikirbeeburgr]

That was probably the most motivating thing anyones ever told me

[JellyJohn-zz]

Yes Wise Mari activated!
-Well she has always been wise anyway!

I've always either waited for motivation to come or do something when it's urgent. Sure it may sometimes take 2 days longer to start working on a project than if I didn’t wait for motivation, but I also really struggle to force myself to start working unless I have to do it

[NaminaGacha]

Literally helped me so much. I’m making a series on my channel and I wasn’t feeling the motivation but I just need a little push I guess-

[jillian]

Perfectly said! I’ve struggled (and still struggle) with procrastination and getting things done when I’m not motivated. There is so much I could’ve created in the past if I just pushed through but I let my own emotions kinda stop me. Slowly I’m changing that tho by finding projects I love so much that I want to work on them even when I’m not motivated

[cherrinatho]

Work on things you like and watching other artists or looking other peoples work also makes me excited. Have fun and test different things :D

[ilikecatsandwonderhoy]

this is really helpful lmao i keep saying ill do this when im motivated and stuff but never ended up doing it, and also i think music is pretty good for when u want to draw especially when its super quiet and dark:D

[JustSomeoneHi]

I've just been using this video as a reason to keep working on something even when I don't want to

[sehlaramos]

Mari thank you. You opened my eyes and now I feel like I can do anything😂😂❤❤❤❤

[saparapatepete]

Can confirm this works wonders, thanks to put it into words!.

[flore.scentt]

Personally, I just draw when I want to. When I force myself my art is wacky and off, but when I draw when I like then I love it!

[VinnieDrawz]

I used to rely on motivation, but ever since 2023 I started relying on how fun the thing was to do, because motivation can only really be found if you find what you're doing fun and relaxing, since you need more than just motivation.

[SCEENEBE]

I draw all the time but only ever really work on cosplays when I’m motivated 💀

[aiktato]

This video has motivated me to finish my art:)❤
