How do you stay motivated Shiny hunting/SRing?

[TheGamingKiddo]

So I'm going to start shiny hunting on OR/AS soon, as I'm just beating the Elite Four, whilst doing that I've been watching a lot of streamers play, and I wondered how people keep themselves motivated hunting. I've done a lot of it in past games, and I find streaming and speaking with people whilst doing it helps, and I'm just wondering what you guys do to keep yourself going?
Also, as an extra question, how many shiny Pokemon have you managed to net yourself?
