Motivation & Writing Poetry for Kids

Motivational poetry can be useful for encouraging yourself when everything seems tough or complicated. Also, motivational poetry can help your child be inspired, courageous, and feel better after a rough day. Nevertheless, to find motivation takes practice for self-awareness, self-discovery, and self-improvement. It can be difficult at times to be motivated especially if you experience nervousness, a lack of interest, or have doubts. Additionally, having excessive stress, a higher level of work demand, or spending less time for self-care can make you feel unmotivated. 

Yet, stopping yourself from feeling frustrated, uncomfortable, and irritable can help you reduce your stress. As well as helping you to clear your mind with mindfulness, meditation, journaling, or writing poetry. To feel motivated, you can write short poetry for yourself or for your children. Another way is to start writing a poem and letting your child finish writing it. Writing together can help both of you to feel creative, optimistic, and hopeful to continue feeling motivated. 

 

It does not have to rhyme. You can make your short poem into a song. However, practice visualizing yourself and write your poem based on what you visualize. Practice visual meditation before you write a poem. Be aware of your senses, feelings, and emotions. 

Poetry can help you connect with your emotions, your senses, and can help you observe your perspectives. Motivation can often be hidden, or you might notice what motivates you later in your journal. However, practice positive self-talk and write every word on paper. It might not be easy at first but draft a poem without interruptions. Practice reading it aloud and hang your poem in an area to motivate you. 

The poem can have repetition. Vary your stanzas without thinking about the writing process. Think about what is motivational for you. Continue writing your poem in any writing style. Select a theme or simply write what makes you hopeful.

Write a list or short sentences to put your poem together. Another way is to have a paper puzzle and write words inside the paper puzzle. Put the paper puzzle together and read your poem. Begin practicing your motivational poetry in the morning or in the afternoon. Lastly, write a poem at night to help you reduce your stress and to practice motivation before the next day begins.

It might be helpful to write your thoughts on paper without stopping. As well as writing for five minutes a day without feeling pressured to finish writing poetry. Make a drawing, artwork, or draw something inspirational for your poetry. If you feel unmotivated, consult a professional counselor to help you. Here are websites with more poetry and ideas to write your poetry.
