MOTIVATE THYSELF

Motivation?

We are all capable of having amazing motivation but some people find it difficult to find/create.

So for the one's who find it difficult and have low motivation at the moment please consider the points below to help you get back on track:

• Look for inspirational stories - look anywhere and everywhere for inspirational stories.  You can find stories of people overcoming their greatest obstacles and making their life what they want it to be.  Read Sly Stallone's story or Bruce Lee - two of my favorites.  If others can and have got there so can you.

• Announce your intentions - a good motivator is to announce your goals to the world and make people take note of what you are doing.  Saying the goals will make them real and notifying others will give you a reason to follow through.

• Chunk things down - don't despair if your objective is huge, simply break things down into smaller tasks so that you can have little wins that will ultimately over time lead to your big goal.  So break it down and little steps will get you to your destination

• Praise your success - no matter how big or small give yourself credit for what you have achieved.

Decide today is the day to kick butt

• Reason - write down your reason why? Why do you want to be motivated?  Put enough emotion behind the reason and anything is possible.  Don't live in despair because one action didn't produce your desired result, simply keep pushing and try, try and.......try.

• Look at your competition - get the competitive edge - this can push you towards your goals and give you the motivation you need to kick butt.

• Support network - surround yourself with individuals that will build you up and not break you down.  We all have people who make us feel great and on the flip side we know those who don't, so recruit the one's who build you up and ask for their help.

• Music - get yourself into the mood and bang on the tunes.  Music can be inspirational and make you feel energized which will help you get things done.

• Visualisation - you can visualise anything and this is a fantastic ability as it can put your mind in a peak state which will help shift the way you think and feel.  Take time each day to visualise yourself the way you want to be and hold this image in your mind.  (5-10minutes minumum)

• Be like an old train - to keep going you have to feed the furnace and the more you feed it the faster you go.  By this I mean that when you get moving you tend to keep going so accomplishing tasks will give you the drive you need to keep smashing goals.  It's all about that first step.

• Remind yourself - buy some little notes you can stick around the house that have motivational quotes on them.  You can also put your objectives on the notes so that if you wander off the path you can look at a note which will remind you of your chosen goals

• Walk and talk - go for a walk and talk to yourself out loud.  Self talk can be a powerful motivator as you can stir up your emotions which will in turn give you the intent to accomplish your goals..

Again these are only suggestions - please give them a try and KEEP PUSHING FORWARD :D
