I'm always lame to keep motivated for something for more than 1 month. I notice things that I don't like in myself and that change with time, training, learning, and so on, but I can't always keep the inspiration with which I start something. I need some advice on how to keep my motivation longer, how to turn depressive thoughts into motivational ones, how not to give up so easily and in general what to do. to change my way of thinking to something more positive not only for my spiritual health, but also for my physical one. Everything you find useful will be appreciated.

Well, if you can't motivate yourself, ask your friend for help. What I mean - for example, for the gym, you can both go to the gym, share the results together and motivate each other to see which will get in shape faster, it's all in your head, tighten up and in spite of others motivate yourself. It sounds easy, but you probably don't think so, but I was like you a few years ago. At the moment I am a radically different person, not to mention the fact that in 2016 I weighed 84 kg. at a height of 168, and at the moment I am 53, I even have tiles. There are no impossible things, remember it!
With the will, not with the motivation.
mental health, not "spiritual" 1. Write down your goals - "I want to achieve this in this time". Reward yourself for the achieved goals and punish yourself for the failures (take twice as much time to deal with the specific thing) 2. Set a specific time for the activities and do not be distracted - one hour of reading, 30 minutes of swimming (from hour to hour). 3. Find friends to share the activity with. you will find twice as much motivation if you have an appointment for other people to go to train / study together. But limit yourself, from the subsequent distraction - for example, to unwind for an extra hour - two with beers. Follow your plan. Beer less often. 4. Take a break. Determine the duration in advance and never rest if you have no clear idea how long the break will last. You have to know - on that date, to appear alive and dead and to continue my activity again. 5. Accept that boredom is part of development. There is always a saturation of emotion and desire. Entering into some monotony. That's why it's important to always set new goals. What, why, how much, when, how ... Raise the level of difficulty ... Make it like a game, if you want, accumulate frags. And again - punishment if you do not achieve the goal. If you don't punish yourself (limit yourself from something) ... you will lose motivation.
Success - a universal formula. For some, however, it is impossible.
