Follow your role model.

Research shows that having a role model and following in their footsteps is a good way to keep your motivation levels high when you get into a tough situation.

1. Identify your role model.
   This can be anyone who has struggled with challenges similar to what you face—it could be a famous person or someone you are close to.

2. When things get tough, ask yourself what your role model would do.
   Think about how they would react in a similar situation, and emulate their behavior!
