Dear Ankita,
In my opinion, if you want to motivate yourself, firstly think positively because this is the main tool to motivate you. After that, give some time to enjoy your life in different ways like singing songs, reading motivational stories, and watching good motivational movies. Get motivated by ideals who are strugglers like Sachin, Ambani, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav, etc., and also learn from the common man. Watch some motivational movies like "Chak De," "3 Idiots," "300," "Titanic," "The Last Castle," etc.
Remember some shares as follows:
"Hade game husti se gujar kun nhi jate, jina nhi ata to mar kun jate, manzil ko pana hai to tufan bhi milenge, dar agar hai to kasti se utar kun nhi jate."
Revert to me if I manage to motivate you a little bit.

Hi Ankita,
There are no quick fixes to become self-motivated. It is an entirely personal outcome of an individual's attitudes, beliefs, and upbringing, among other factors. However, there are certain steps that one can consciously take in order to become self-motivated. Some of these points have been expressed by Dev above, but I will still take the liberty of elucidating a few pointers.
1. Have the right attitude - being positive at all times is the key. In addition, one must be prepared to tackle obstacles without getting disheartened, face opposition without being cowed down, be realistic, and throw in the towel if the glaring situation warrants it.
2. Define success and goals - the whole objective of being self-motivated is to achieve success by reaching your goals. The presumption here is that both the goal and the path to success are clearly identified. For example, an underworld DON would have amassing power and money as a goal, and the path to success is through ruthlessness. Most of us would find this a very repulsive idea. On the other hand, a Godman would seek to be self-motivated to bring salvation to the multitude. This goal, too, seems unappealing to the average person on the street.
3. Align your passion and your future - Nothing is as self-motivating as indulging in your passion. The reason is when following your passion, the urge is from within, and this intrinsic motivation cannot be substituted by any extrinsic consideration. For example, you are a trained musician, but you are well aware that you do not have the flair to be a successful professional. You can explore other possibilities like being a part of a musical troupe, being a music teacher, a music critic, or a music concert organizer, etc.
4. Make it fun - it is only when one has fun does one freely indulge and remain self-motivated. Keep focusing on the progress that one is making, and that makes the process enjoyable. Keep in the company of those who encourage, support, and enjoy working with you. Learn to laugh at yourself and the little goofy moments at work.
5. Don't chase success; let it come to you - the little surprises you get, be it a gift, a windfall, or an unexpected compliment always make one thrilled and delighted. The same principle works excellently in life as well. The moment we narrow our focus to achieving things at any cost, self-motivation is replaced by greed, jealousy, pride, and other such negative emotions. On the other hand, diligent effort, smart work, and team effort are traits that trigger self-motivation within.
Trust these points would help you remain self-motivated at all times.

Hi Ankita,
If you could provide a bit of background, I think you will get a better answer.
What I am interested in knowing is what is prompting you to ask this question. Is it you who requires motivation, or is it for somebody else? Secondly, if it is for you, then are you looking to live life in a motivated style, or are you seeking motivation to help you perform better in your professional life?
Metaphysically, your professional life would be a subset of your personal life. In practice, if you look at it, everything is personal - it is your job, your work, your love, your home!
So, it is your total life, in fact. What you choose to do will also impact how you spend a major part of your everyday life and a big slice of your total life! Since, by and large, you receive recognition from society based on what you choose to do and how well you do it.
To feel happy doing something, it is necessary that you love what you are doing. I mean, if you do not like accounting and I compel you to do a job in accounting, you will either be angry or bored to death. Consequently, you must choose for your profession something you love. Anything else you do will give you negative vibes, and as a result, you will send negative energy to others as well. On the other hand, you will not really look forward to starting your work. This means: you will not feel motivated to do the job.
So, if you analyze: if you are happy with what you are doing, then there will be no need to motivate you because you will only be too eager to start your job. After all, you are enjoying yourself in it.
Unfortunately, there are many of us who are not able to understand what they love. They are either victims of the flow, peer pressure, or parental pressure, or maybe, for the heck of it, they are there.
Now, Ankita, I want you to chew on the above, for this is only a part of the answer. While your question is very short, the answer, according to me, is not so simple. My understanding is that if you were interested in theory, then you would have picked up the books or surfed the net. If you really want to understand the subject, then some detailed discussion would be required. If you find what I have written above interesting, then let me know, and I shall continue further.

Motivation is directly related to our self-confidence. No one has the same level of confidence every day. So, raise your self-confidence by thinking of yourself as a golden individual in this world. Do something extra in your daily life and put in the extra effort to achieve your goals. Just do whatever you want to do. Many people waste their time thinking about what to do. Here, I want to emphasize that you must do what you know. Don't judge your results too quickly; instead, assess your progress from where you started. Additionally, many individuals try to achieve success, but in reality, it is a matter of doing or not doing. Therefore, never just try.

Hi Ankita,
I know it's hard to motivate oneself, but I tell you one thing - I am sad most of the time. However, I always know that whenever I get time, I enjoy myself the most, forgetting everything. When I am sad or something bad happens to me, I say to myself, "I have faced much worse situations than these," and confront the situation head-on without any fear of losing or winning. Thinking about both outcomes is dangerous for me at that time as it can affect my present or future negatively. However, this doesn't mean you have to be negative. Stay positive, dear, enjoy yourself, and take care.

Methods to be Motivated and Be More Productive
At the beginning of the day, decide what you want to achieve today. That is your goal. You can't be motivated unless you know you need to achieve something. In other words, a person without a target or goal is on an endless journey. You also have to understand that the goal has to be achievable.
Once you have defined your goals, you need to write down the methodology/route map for reaching that target. Secondly, list the resources you will need to achieve your goals.
The next step is to ensure you prepare a step-by-step process map of the activities needed to reach your target. You will need to also incorporate some flexibility into the plan to cover any exigencies. Try to think in advance about what can go wrong and plan against it to reduce exigencies.
Afterward, incorporate the people whose help you will need to ensure that they deliver on time.
Finally, implement your plan.
If you follow this method, you are likely to be more productive, and if you succeed in it, then this will automatically motivate you. Nothing motivates like success.
Finally, going back to my original post on motivation: Are you the right person for the right job? For if you are not, believe me, motivation will be a constant and daily fight. Money is merely a result of your success, and for real success, it is necessary that you love your work and enjoy every moment of it. HAPPINESS IN THE JOB IS WHAT MOTIVATES ANYONE.

Hi Ankita,
Do you agree with the various responses on motivation, particularly a big YES to Mr. Jacob?
One gets motivated by many factors. For example, if he or she completes the task before its scheduled time, achieves the exam result at par with what he wished for or better than what was expected. Motivation is obtained by "doing the task successfully."
"Positive attitude" and "discipline" in day-to-day work are key factors for better drive to carry out defined, assigned, created, or interested activities, and that certainly brings motivation. Doing the most interesting activity brings satisfaction, particularly when the yield is fruitful, and that brings motivation.
Set the target (may be long-term and short-term) and follow them regularly. (Setting the target by understanding own capacity and capability). Working on the target regularly, passionately, tirelessly would fetch success, and that would give a feeling of self-motivation too.
Reading articles/books on self-motivation would help one to stay motivated. Inspiring stories and, at the same time, the positive attitude of a person certainly feel motivated to carry out a specific task/activity.
Summary: Positive attitude. Living life with a bit of discipline (no haphazard). A sense of achieving something, doing the most interesting activity.
Ultimately, it is doing, doing, and doing (interested, assigned, created, defined, delegated) with a positive attitude and discipline.

Hi Sanjay,
Thank you for your encouraging feedback on my response and for contributing to the discussion. The last sentence in your response, "doing, doing..." is a very significant input. As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating; so self-motivation spurs one to work, and the results of the work would be an added self-motivator.
